Clothes and jewelry and candles, oh my! Such is the labyrinth of all things fashionable that is the Accessory Zone. Seriously, you could get lost in there, which is precisely the point. There are probably a couple of people still stuck in some corner of the store, trapped between the make-up and the sun hats. This place is a breath fresh air, literally. It's also filled with scented soap, lotion and room sprays. Sniff Sniff.
Caution all Shopaholics! This store ought to come with a warning label. It is extremely addictive and craftily designed to suck you in and empty your wallet. The owners have had a few different kinds of stores with a similar concept over the years before this version, so they know exactly what they are doing. They used to have a store of the same name in the Prien Lake Mall that I think everybody used to go to, lol. I had two of the three holes in my ears done there, lol. That was even where my little sister had her ears pierced at the standard three month mark when she was a baby.
For all of you locals and out-of-towners alike, this the THE place to pull your casino and resort look together in a snap. They have absolutely EVERYTHING, and you know that's right up my alley! My favorite? Well the jewelry section of course :) It's so sparkly...AB(Aurora Borealis) shine galore. They several different kinds and sizes of earrings, bracelets, brooches, rings, etc for everyday as well as as special occasions. But what I really love is that they have HUGE pieces of quality cocktail and costume jewelry that are gorgeous but still modestly priced. They are perfect for bright lights, night life, dates, or for a girl like me, any day. Bling galore. They have casino written all over them. Ginger from the movie of the same name would have loved them. I decided on a massive vintage look brooch and bracelet. Want gift wrap? They nestled my giant jewelry in the cutest little padded zebra print boxes.
You get old-school customer service here too. Salespeople with sugary sweet smiles greet you immediately, get into your head, figure out your weaknesses and lead you down a path of budgetary destruction. You all know how I feel about customer service. This place rocks when it comes to that and always has. I'm glad some things never change.
Speaking of, Miss Rhonda, one of the owners, looks suspiciously the same as the years have gone by. Since they do have everything, I bet she even has a vial from the fountain of youth hidden in the back for the right price if you are interested... read more
