Oh, The Galleria! My ex-husband is from Houston and I've…read morebeen to The Galleria many, many times. In fact, I started going long before I knew my husband. My dad also lived in Houston and we'd often do shopping or eating at the mall. My daughter (who is now 30) loved (& still does) skating at the ice rink during the holidays. It's a magically fun experience. The Galleria is always incredibly decorated for the holidays. I still get to Houston 1-2 times a year and always enjoy visiting The Galleria. The Galleria itself has not only the ice rink but office space, two hotels, lots of places to eat, and shopping. The retail offerings range from shops like H&M, Macy's, and Nordstrom to high-end luxury shops like Gucci & Chanel. We were there just a few months ago and it was just as fun and exciting as my first visit! Gang, there are so many stores here. Like crazy amounts (a few hundred). It's very large and easy to navigate and of course gets extremely busy during peak times. A must-visit for locals and tourists alike.

Shopping can be hit or miss, and on this particular day, it was definitely a miss. My friends and I…read moreare dedicated bargain shoppers, and despite our best efforts, the Houston Galleria wasn't giving up any deals. With only about an hour before leaving Houston, our shopping mission was more of a speed run than a leisurely browse. Even without scoring any purchases, the Houston Galleria remains an impressive destination. The moment you step inside, you experience bright lights, multiple levels of stores, and a steady stream of shoppers that create an energetic, bustling atmosphere. Beyond shopping, the mall offers entertainment options such as its iconic indoor ice-skating rink, making it easy to spend an entire day there. One of the Galleria's biggest strengths is its variety. Luxury retailers like Chanel and Louis Vuitton share space with more accessible brands such as Banana Republic and American Eagle, offering something for nearly every budget and style. Whether you're on a focused shopping mission or simply window-shopping, there's plenty to explore...even if, in our case, we left empty-handed. The dining options are equally diverse, ranging from food-court favorites to sit-down restaurants like The Cheesecake Factory and Shake Shack to Chic-fil-a. While we didn't find the bargains we were hoping for, our fast-and-furious shopping adventure was filled with laughter and great conversation, and the kind of fun that comes from spending time with good friends. Sometimes spending quality time with friends is the best find of all.

Odd thig was that we went on a Saturday at 3 p.m. and ot seemed as if it was a Tuesday an hour before closing, nobody was there. You could have shot a zombie movie.

They didn't. Aeropostale had shorts for $60 each. 60.. dollars.. each. Then sweatpants for $50. 50...dollars. Pacsun had NO SALES. Well they had a few but they were absolute potato on their behalf. I visited baybrook the day before and I'm MUCH more inclined to visit there even though I don't like Philly chease steaks. Oh my gosh. I'm fuming. Then the sun is out real hot and stuff. I can't even put into words how mad I am. Oh my gosh. If any therapist are reading this, you can contact me via Yelp DMs. Oh my gosh. Then I can't even put 1 star because the mall is on the edge of having a terrible overall review. If you are looking for deals, hop on TikTok shop. I'm not lying bro. Oh my gosh. I'm FUMING!!'nn GOSH!!!!!

I heard about the Nike Clearance Store in Pasadena from one of my coworkers and my main goal was to…read morego there and get some tennis shoes. I ended up finding so many great deals. I did leave with a pair of tennis shoes and a Nike tank, and I'm not exaggerating when I say this store is amazing. My tennis shoes were $59.99 and the regular price was $130. The deals were seriously worth it. The staff were also great. One worker in particular, Tee helped me with the pricing and made sure I got my 15% discount. Everyone there was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. They have a huge selection for women, men, and kids, all discounted from the regular Nike prices. I definitely recommend checking it out.

I've been here almost two years, and it took an out-of-towner to tell me about this place. I'm…read moregoing to use as an excuse that Houston is a large city for the reason why I did not know. Also, there are two stores right across the street from each other. Now, each building houses its own inventory, and what's across the street is totally different from the store across from it. Once inside, I will say the selection varies from one shop to the next. I can honestly say you will find what you are looking for or even more things you didn't know you liked. Now, my heart lies with all things gems, beads, and stones. But I soon kept wondering and discovered there were these cute scarves for a really great price that I adored. Well, I kept going on, and on and I kept buying to the store across the street, it was a nice day.

It's the holiday season. I got lucky on one of the Sundays. I walked into this Nordstrom Rack Store…read moreand heard on loud speakers about the $10 off coupon on that day only. I quickly pulled out the app and bingo! I found it and bought a shirt for $2.98 on that day. I came back today and hoping to strike another luck. Not necessarily the coupon but I had a good experience on the clearance rack at the other Nordstrom Rack in Westchase. But there weren't any thing for me at this Galleria store. Then, I went to the shoe clearance racks but there weren't any clearance shoes. Ok. I found a couple of shoes with special tags on the regular priced racks. Ugh. So unorganized. Back in the summer, it was my first time here after shopped at Westchase Nordstrom Rack and really liked the merchandise. I found a shirt with price tag from Kohls. After I pointed it out to the dressing room attendant, she found a Nordstrom tag to put on there. Then upon check out, the cashier tried so hard to sell me the store credit card. I told her politely as I needed to pay off my current credit card debt before I would apply for their credit card. She said "I'll be watching you next time you come in. You're going to apply for the credit card." I stopped going there during the day.

My latest trip to this Nordstrom Rack location has me thinking the operation has gone downhill to a…read morelevel of mediocrity I never anticipated. In the past, I would say shopping at Nordstrom Rack was always a good experience. I've been able to find gifts here and also items for myself. During previous shopping trips, the clothing and accessories selection was top notch. The Madewell earrings I purchased here were reasonably priced - like a real sale and good value. However, during my latest trip, I was actually unable to find any jewelry I liked and almost all of it was overpriced. The purses were also overpriced, and the main discounted items in that section were basically Steve Madden brand, which makes me laugh. I was able to find a beautiful scarf, but most of the other scarves I looked at were unremarkable. Hardly anyone else was in the accessories section aside from me. In fact, there were very few shoppers in the store on a Friday evening, which is a bad sign. In the past, this store would be crowded. In the shoes selection, there was no middle ground between heels/platform shoes and more sporty shoes. Hardly any flats! This is so odd and off to me, but maybe other people like it. Regarding clothing, I was able to find a cool brown shirt, but the way most clothing is organized in this store is counterintuitive and not helpful. The cashier did not greet me at all and had very little to say on the back end, so I just grabbed my bag and walked out. I doubt I would return to this location and have found shopping online or in person at the regular Nordstrom to be a much better experience.
