Elements, Berkeley

I've lived in Berkeley for several years now and everytime I've passed by Elements (which are too many times to count) there has always been really cute stuff in the window, but I hadn't gotten around to actually going inside the store until just recently. It has a good amount of everything - jewelry, clothing, shoes, and lingerie. Most things are reasonably priced (i.e. under $100), but they do have some jeans, coats, and dresses that are a bit on the pricey side ($100-$300). Although I wasn't impressed by the shoe and lingerie sections(and they have quite a selection,)I really liked the clothing. While there are some items that college kids and fashionable older women could buy (like the shoes & lingerie), the clothing is definitely geared towards young, stylish professionals. They have a fairly large selection of very pretty jewelry at reasonable prices, but the cheap outdated case in which they're displayed really put me off. All in all, it was a good first experience, but I'm interested in seeing how often they bring new items in. As a good, sensible shopper, you have to be able to look past the not-so-chic decor and focus on finding something that's attractive and fits well, which you are more than likely to find in Elements.
