Elle & Em Boutique is located in downtown Lee's Summit and has so many great clothes and accessories!! It truly is the best boutique, and in my opinion, the best clothing store, period, in the Metro! For a local boutique, there are so many options, prices are reasonable, and it is a walking distance from Whistlestop Coffee Shop. Get something to eat or drink, then head on over for some shopping! The customer service is fabulous and you're sure to walk away with great finds!
