Halley and her colleagues offer individual care and excellent customer service, plus lots of creativity and ideas. As an example, Halley knew I was looking for a dress for a special occasion. She helped me check out several options, and then several days later, emailed me a photo of another dress that came to the shop that I might want to consider. That's what I call going above and beyond! The shop is full of hip, reasonably-priced women's clothing that you might see in NYC or LA. It's the perfect place to pick up a gift for a girlfriend, with lots of cool jewelry, handbags and accessories. Much of the jewelry is locally made. Be sure to check out the kid clothing and toys upstairs. My brother and sister in law traveled from Chicago for a visit, and swung by the Goose for a gift for my daughter - they also were very impressed with this fun, hip shop and my daughter loves the wooden toy pizza they gave her. The Purple Goose also is committed to giving back to the community - another great quality.

Nordstrom Rack is a great place to go and find what the store Nordstrom offers but at semi…read morediscounted prices. I think it's important to note that when you go in here, you're not gonna find really cheap prices. The prices are still up there. They're just a little bit less than you will find in the actually Nordstrom store and/or Nordstrom online. For me, the main reason I like Nordstrom Rack is their selection of shoes. They have a really big selection of shoes, particularly tennis shoes. They truly have a large amount of all of the name brands. And again, at semi discounted price prices. They're not cheap, but they are below what you would have to pay at the regular Nordstrom stores or most other sporting goods retailers. In terms of clothing, they have a lot of it. They have both a large selection of men and women's clothing. It's truly a vast amount. I don't usually find clothes that catch my eye at this store, but my wife always seems to find something. So, that may let you know of the mindset of the people who shop here. For men, they have a nice selection of suits, sport coats, slacks, and dress shirts. But, they're not exceptionally good deals. Personally, I prefer to go into a shop that is more devoted to those things when I buy such items. For my wife, however, she commonly finds nice dresses, tops, and also, shoes. She too, is a big fan of their shoe department. The one thing I will say is that if you want to get a nice pair of Doc Martens, this is a great place to buy them. They seem to discount Doc Martin's more than they do their other name brand shoes. This is just something to think about. Overall, if you want some high-end clothing, and/or shoes, and/or jewelry, and/or a little bit of anything else that Norstrom offers, this is a good place to purchase it.

It is on the pricier side, but the clothing in particular is quality-made. Pop in and check it out! You will most likely find something you like!

They used to carry an extensive selection of…read moreunique and high-end home-wares brands (McKenzie Childs, Juliska, Lilly Pulitzer, etc.) as well as beautiful baby and children items that you don't often see outside of larger city centers. It was nice to have such a beautiful shop right here in Middleton - it was very well done. However, about a year ago, they cut their selection drastically when they downsized into a smaller space. Now you must special order if you want pieces from brands like Juliska, I don't even think they still carry the other brands. I don't recall there still being children's items. Store is small and mostly just women's clothing now. I used to visit/purchase multiple times per year; however, there isn't much reason to stop anymore.

The quality has been consistently excellent, and the customer service has never given me a single reason to look elsewhere. Most recently, I bought winter coats for two of my grown kids.

Lands' End had great deals, so I let them pick exactly what they wanted and now I know they'll be warm and dry all winter long. As always: zero issues. Period.

My name is not VIRGINIA!!! The person they listed purchased coat in JANUARY - I ordered in OCTOBER. Frustrating. They emailed a label for Post Office to send the jacket back. Had recipients name as return address, not mine. Added bonus - I don't have a printer, so I had to go to Staples to print the label for .83 cents. Lands End obviously does not care enough.
