Top it off the space is so warm and inviting, and the back wall is a vibe all on it's own! I came in to consign a few items and ended up buying a few more things as well. I especially love how the store creates space for local vendors to showcase their talents, and the owner, Christina, is so great to share the background of the vendors and the items they are selling. As mentioned, the location is super convenient, right at the intersection of Main and Kingsway. I'm looking forward to going in again on my next visit to see the new things they have!

They'll help you out as much (or as little) as you like. My favorite person at the store (other than Marilyn of course!) is the seamstress. She's a frickin' magician!

I would give this clothing sore No stars if that were possible. I was unfortunate enough to have…read morebeen served by the most uncaring, and basically rude person that I have ever experienced. She was incredibly unfriendly, belittled choices made, made unwanted comments, and within hearing distance of myself and my friend accused a woman of wearing a garment before returning it, even though the price tags were exposed on the outside. With all the wonderful places to shop at in Vancouver, a clothing store, or any store, needs to be at the top of their game when it comes to service and this place is a real loser and not one I will ever frequent again! If you should go-run fast and far from the woman with dark hair down to her shoulders.

I purchased a leather jacket at Encore for $195, the saleslady reduced it for me from $250…read more Encore's price tag stated an original price of $650. It is made in India, so I doubted it was worth that much. After I purchased it, I went home and searched online, where I found the same jacket for $65 - $90. Of course, there is no law against making a profit, but this store is a rip-off. Encore fooled me once, but I will never shop at Encore Fashion Boutique again. Beware!

Encore Fashion has some awesome used clothing and accessories. Downstairs you'll find great shoes,…read morepurses, and clothing items for sale. Everything is in really good condition and practically new. No funky stretch out shoes here. Prices decrease the longer items stay in the store. When I was there some items were 40% off the ticketed price. I heard a customer asking for a lower price on a pair of boots and she was offered $20 off. Hey, it's worth asking. Head upstairs for men's and children's clothing. If I had kids I'd do my shopping for them at Encore. There's lots of really cute stuff available. They've also got some toys and books.

Prices rarely dip below the $200 mark but you'd almost swear it's worth the splurge and temptation to claim "fashion need" bankruptcy. The pieces in this boutique are exquisite and come from a splattering of designers - both known and emerging - who all have impeccable taste. Unique combinations of neutral tones and tactile materials mix with bohemian and eclectic to create the most stylish wardrobe a girl could hope for. Apart from the shell-shocking price tags, the shopping experience at Misch is very pleasurable. Hardwood floors and neatly arrange racks make for easy garment spotting and you'll also find a small assortment of very groovy shoes and bags to compliment your gorgeous look. I will definitely return to Misch to shop up a storm, once I've made my millions.

Though I usually find shopping to be a thoroughly therapeutic experience (!), there are certain…read moretimes and occasions when it can get a bit stressful. Like when you are invited to a big event or posh party last minute, only to discover you have absolutely nothing to wear! In this scenario, retail therapy can quickly turn into a complete and total nightmare. My suggestion: choose a store that will calm and relax your nerves, no matter how frantic you feel. With flowers, relaxing music, and aromatherapy, Misch on Granville Street creates an atmosphere conducive to finding the perfect outfit. Peruse the racks of neatly filed fashion finds for many big names in fashion, some hot off the runway, in a plethora of fabrics, patterns, and cuts, lace, satin, cashmere; dresses, skirts, pants, blazers, tops, and jackets, shoes, and designer jewellery. Trend with a twist is what you'll find at Misch. And, since they only order one size of each piece, you'll never get caught wearing someone else's outfit!

So glad I finally stopped by!

Community makes me believe in vintage and thrift again. Sound dramatic? Maybe you haven't been…read morethrifting in Vancouver as a plus size woman! Vancouver's vintage and consignment is already notoriously expensive and caters almost exclusively to a small dress size. Community, a Vintage and Consignment that is run by a non-profit Downtown Eastside housing and resource society not only engages with the neighbourhood it lives in, but also works to diversify its size range to engage with shoppers of many sizes. It hires women from the neighbourhood to work in the business and portions of the proceeds go back into the neighbourhood, which feels great while you shop! The space is small but well utilized and well decorated. Great jewelry by local designers is on display and the clothes have a very consistent and curated turnover rate. And the prices!! Compared to Vancouvers vintage scene, Community is absolutely the fairest price I've found yet. These days even Value Village is getting pricey so to go to a shop where the selection is so well picked out and find something affordable feels great. Again, I'm a plus size shopper who finds an amazing score here 90% of the time. Pieces from Community make up probably 50% of my wardrobe. See you there this weekend!

12 months later and my love affair with this little shop stands…read more Last week, I was walking the Make It Festival when the infamous Karen jumped into the aisle in front of me. Not only did she remember me (i've bumped into her a few times at the shop, but not more then a handful) but she was still the incredibly energetic, totally genuine ball of sunshine that made me RUN home to pen that first review back in January. And so, as a tip of the hat to my top service ninja of the year, I thought it be best to share some new findings at Two of Hearts: 1. Karen has a jewellery line that she sells at the shop! Go buy it and support local crafters and an all around rad person! ...I don't remember the name, because I took a business card and had her write down the specifics on a few pieces. Such organization obviously means I will lose said card within 24 hours. I do however have a note that says: "Sounds like the muppets song Mahna Mahna." Because i'm an adult. So I will take that to the Twitterverse for further investigation. Stay tuned. 2. Hats!! If you are looking for the most fabulous fall hat, go check out the Andre felt hats from Montreal. I debated over mine last January and it is singlehandedly my second favourite purchase of the year (it's tough to compete with the Fiat...) They are an excellent price (under $100), made in Canada and just classic, beautiful pieces. But if you buy the red one in the window before, I will get mad at you. Bonus points: you can't even find this line online for a better price. Tip of the hat 2ofH. 3. Bags! I have beat the s%&t out of my bag over the year - every day, dual laptop wielding and it has survived. Definitely looking a bit worse for wear, but it's held up far better then I expected, considering the price point is so reasonable. Right now, they have super awesome colours like hot pink mailbags & bright red clutches. It's a rainbow money suck! 4. Still with the awesome people. Karen isn't an anomaly here. Honest to gosh, i've had nothing but the most fabulous service every time i've gone in. Everyone who works here is all sugar & spice. ...I still have yet to find any actual clothing that fits me properly here... but I don't care. Great accessories & fab people will keep this place as a go to. *** Meiku Designs!!! ... not even close.
