    Cheap Monday sweater I bought
    Lesley M.

    Broke out of my comfort zone and went into a retail establishment this weekend. Gasp! Full retail prices?! Luckily, there were sales. Good ones! Every time I go in there seems to be a great sale happening. I picked up a Cheap Monday sweater for $39. It was more than half off, so I couldn't leave it. As BEAUTIFUL as the spring goodies were, it's Full blown winter here, so bring on the winter clearance! I gave Biscuit 5 stars because I love everything they bring in. They sell every sub brand of free people, their own label, Levi's, and you know.. Everything else good. I find the new lay out the best in years, and the selection of items bang on. I feel like I'm big city shopping when I walk into biscuit. Best part is - I'm shopping local!

    Attention girls and boys, Biscuit is fully stocked with summertime goodness. As I did a Saturday morning browse, my visit to Bisc assured a home run for warm weather classics. The store is looking great with all the semi-recent renovations, new clothes, stylish staff, and lastly-- the popcorn machine. Munch and crunch your way through the lovely designs of Kenzie, Free People, Valerie Dumaine and more. The store's new-ish Twitter account provides a peek of what's to come for fall with some Free People pieces, and WHEW-- things seem promising. I heart Biscuit and the wholesome vibes it provides. A longtime staple in the downtown area, my recent trip tested my gears pretty good. For those interested, the store is currently offering 30% off all shoes and accessories this weekend. I must hold back for now, but will be sure to head down again soon.

    Biscuit General Store is a nice store, but I found it a little over priced. It does carry some trendy items and has a good selection for various age groups. The store is in two sections which is pretty cool. One side carries shoes and handbags with some of the more business cloths. The other side has some pretty neat items, such as the small picnic table with the salt, pepper, mustard and ketchup. They do have I am sure a loyal clientele. But I would not be doing a lot of shopping here. The staff was nice, one hello and then they left us alone.

Learning the ways of retail, his cuteness is the perfect way to begin this endeavor. What a sweet little shop. Although its been open for about ten years, I'd only recently learned of Wildflower from an acquaintance. Its confines are currently dressed in soft, breathable garments and assuring color palates. (Periwinkle, charcoal, rose pink, nude, and flecks of colour amongst it all!) Its actually a breath of fresh air, and a different variety from other independent boutiques in the area. I was elated to discover the accumulation of Free People frocks, which is probably my favorite [semi] affordable brand of all time. The owner mentioned that they would be getting more in soon-- whoo hoo! The overall stock seems romantic, flowing, and of excellent taste. Cute tops, rich fabrics and cuts are here for the taking. I think its safe to say that Wildflower has Bohemian Romantic down. The owner of the shop offered me genuine conversation and an easy shopping experience. I was the only patron at the time, so we chatted as I browsed. There was no pressure, no facade-- just good conversation and a shop full of wonders. After much swooning and chit-chat, I know this is a boutique I can dig. Besides the clothes, there were also some pretty neat accessories. I'd say the owner of Wildflower has a great eye. Understated, funky, classic and bohemian looks are all fused into one cohesive collection. All you need is a paycheck. xo

    I was in this shop today and can only give this review on what the selection was in the store…read more Once again, this is the selection only, we did not purchase or try a dress on. First, this is like walking into a fairytale with some of these dresses. They had such a large variety, I was shocked. There was young girls trying on these beautiful gowns. Some in red, others in gold and some in burgundy, I think you could find anything in here, long , short or cocktail dresses and every color option. Each dress was so full of personality, of course they all looked beautiful. I am not sure someone can look bad in these dresses. When you put one one, you just feel like a princess. The ladies in the shop were very nice to us, asked us if we needed any help, talked about the weather. They were very down to earth. The gowns ranged around $300 - 500, but there was a back wall with ones on sale, they were around $200. I thought this was a pretty good price. I liked the selection here. It is the only store that posts a sign. "Please remove shoes before entering". I think this is so no one would catch the shoe while trying on the dress.

    It's really hard to feel comfortable in a place where you are afraid to breathe. That basically…read moresums up my experience at All Dressed Up. I pass the store often, but don't dream to enter as it mainly carries higher end clothing than I can afford and a wide selection of prom dresses. These prom dresses are the main attraction for many girls that flock to this store all winter, and when I finally went to pick out a dress the women that worked there made me never want to come back. They wouldn't let my friend go into the change room with me, our bags were taken behind the cash register (who would try to smuggle out 11 layers of toule?), and no pictures were allowed to be taken of me trying on the dress. Not-So Hot Hint: Don't plan on being able to zip and unzip yourself, I was reprimanded and given the "you break it you buy it" line for doing just that.

They had lots of earrings and bracelets in the $10-$25 range. I really didn't look at much else in the store, but they had beads, wooden knick knacks, pillows, and clothing that looked like they were from Nepal, Indonesia and Thailand, among other things. I loved these kinds of stores in my middle school and high school years, but it's not quite my aesthetics anymore, with the exception of the jewelery, because I still love sterling silver, it's the most suitable metal for my colouring. I had a great time browsing their large jewelery section. I almost bought the cutest bracelet, but it was a tad too big for me :( Staff were very nice. I always stop by when I'm in Halifax to poke around a bit, and be reminded of my style as a teenager, lol.

It doesn't hurt that they stock one of my favourite Canadian jewelry designers, as well as my 2nd love of life - Manitobah Moccasins. I own 3 pairs, I'm obsessed. Everything in the store is Canadian made, so no need to worry about spending your hard earned bucks on supporting local, because this store covers all those bases. Which brings me to the price. You're not going to walk in here and pick something up on a whim. No, you're going to carefully stock that very expensive coat, visit it often, until you just can't leave without it. Like how I'm going to do with that Biko necklace, earrings, bracelet.. you get the idea. I'm gonna creep the crap out of that jewelry until it finally comes home with me some payday Friday, when I carefully budget my pay cheque to cut out grocery shopping. So don't go in here thinking it's just another clothing store. You're paying for some Canadians dedication and hard work. You're supporting someone's passion and their dreams. I'd rather spend my money that way, I might end up spending more, but there is a different satisfaction with spending your money wisely. Plus the quality of products they sell here is top shelf!
