Editorial Review for Wish – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
Fun, trendy styles make Wish's collection a rival to any Newbury Street boutique. This Charles Street shop is home to designers like Nanette Lapore, Rebecca Taylor, Theory and Yu Jean. But these super-cute threads do carry a heavy price tag, so make sure the Amex is ready for a workout.
The Goods
Tiny details set these styles apart from mall merchandise. Looking for something comfortable and pretty? Pull on a Nanette Lapore black cardigan with sleeve-bottom ruffles and dainty flower buttons. Need more color in your life? Try on an orange paisley sundress or electric-blue pants by Susana Monaco. Opt for casual with cashmere sweaters and Buz Jones jeans. Go formal with a pink chiffon dress, don a pin-stripe suit, or slip into a rhinestone-detailed lavender turtleneck. Wish has a small collection of beaded and suede purses as well.

Having lived on beacon hill since Wish opened I feel that I have given the store more than a fair chance to change my opinion of it. However, I have to say, the customer service is the worst I have experienced in Boston. Honestly if you're not a size 2 or enter the store somehow proving that you're willing to spend hundreds of dollars on the spot, the salesgirls could care less that you're even in the store. I've never felt so uncomfortable and unwanted from employees of a store, never felt so uncomfortale just browsing, there is a lot of merchandise in a small space, one would expect that they are used to people taking their time to look though all of the different items, yet I constantly feel rushed, uncomfortable and unwanted. I would suggest taking all your business two doors down to Holiday. Much more unique clothing, unblievable customer service, friendly and helpful sales staff, never seem to mind browsers instead of buyers. Two vastly different shopping experiences.
Pros: large selection of clothing
Cons: unhelpful sales staff, uncomfortable shopping experience

I was recently at Wish in Beacon Hill and was shocked at how different the store looked and felt. Not only did it look beautiful but the staff was warm and welcoming. When I inquired about the changes I was told that it was under new ownership. In fact, the new owner had just left when I came in but I look forward to meeting her to let her know how happy I am to see Wish looking so great! Love this store!!
Pros: Atmosphere, service, selection of beautiful clothes
