"Karma, karma, karma, karma Karma chameleon…read moreYou come and go, you come and go" (Culture Club) Karma's Closet is a well-organized, neat, and fully stocked thrift store and consignment shop. We were warmly welcomed when we walked in and spent a half hour or so browsing around in search of a black and gold gown and black and gold bowtie for a summer event. And where those hard-to-find items continue to elude us, we did see a ton of very nice things for sale. Some of the things were belts, purses, handbags, men's & women's clothing, shoes, boots, sandals, some high end sneakers, kitchen and household goods, small furniture, luggage, and plenty more. So, if you enjoy thrifting, you'll sure enjoy a visit here. PRO TIPS 1) The Yelp listing had an incorrect address. I put in an update today, and the proper address (still in Newington) is 27 Garfield Street. 2) If you're interested in consigning clothes here, Karma's Closet offers a 50/50 split on all consignment items.

Uptown Consignment is a consignment shop located in the same plaza as Ciao Cafe. I have been here…read moreyears ago, I stopped by recently to check it out. Here you'll find a large assortment of shoes, clothing and purses. There's a substantial amount of designer premium brands, such as Chanel, Prada, YSL, Gucci, Burberry, Celine, Luis Vuitton and more. Some are behind the glass, others are not. The store is well organized and most items look to be in good shape. They also sell contemporary branded items. I personally feel they are a bit overpriced. For instance I found the same exact purse at Nordstrom Rack and at Uptown Consignment. At Nordstrom Rack it is $39.99 and at Uptown Consignment it is $66.00. Some items are marked with, if it hasn't sold by a certain date then it'll be discounted by half price. I found a pair of Lululemon Leggings for $24.00 but decided against them because they were cropped. There was a stunning Celine purse, made of the loveliest, most delicate leather for $300. Let's see how long it'll stay on my mind. If you're looking to treat yourself to a fine luxury item, it might be worthwhile to check out Uptown Consignment. Be smart about knowing what things cost.

Free People is a beautiful store of a style that I really love. It's mostly boho with free flowing…read moreloose lace, cotton and other delicate and casual fabrics. Free People only sell woman's items. It's a little store, but it's very tastefully set up and displayed, nothing feels overly stuffed in such a small space. Unfortunately the huge downside is that most items are very overpriced. Just a light cotton top can easily cost $80, dresses can cost up to $400. I like going here to see the way things can be styled, for inspiration, or for an odd time that something might be on a nice sale. I've purchased items here a few times that were on sale that I really like. I have to note the girls who work here aren't the most pleasant, I see them having private conversations and not at all noticing the customers, unless I'm making a purchase then they're ready to say something. Basic customer service skills would be appreciated in such a beautiful and costly store. I do have to bring my rating down to three stars, because of the very high cost and unfriendly associates.

Finally I had a chance to wander and touch prior to making a commitment to any one item. The staff here made my shopping experience wonderful. They give awesome fashion advice. I find the clothing here to be very stylish and vintage inspired. Selection here is just great, tons and tons of items that can be worn 101 ways. If you're looking for a makeover definitely stop by and have the staff help you out. You'll walk out 100% content with your purchase. Oh no need to buy more than one item. If you're a fan of summer dresses then you will LOVE this store.

It's got a lot of well-known stores, including high end ones like Louis Viotton, Tory Burch, Coach etc. Don't get me started on the Pandora store, that ALWAYS has a line outside. Plus it's got good restaurants like Sally's pizza which I wrote a separate review about and definitely worth a visit. This is a well kept mall, clean and enjoyable to visit. Its location is ideal being that you're only about 5 minutes away from a nearby plaza that is also chock full of wonderful stores like Trader Joes, five below, even an REI camping store. It's kinda like an LL bean, but what I love most is that there's a Doro restaurant nearby and that's usually where we always end up after shopping. I also wrote a separate review on Doro, and it is definitely worth the 5 minute drive from the mall. As far as malls go, this is one that has something for everyone.

Their bohemian vibe is what will always draw me into their stores even if 9 times out of 10 I always walk out empty handed because their prices are so high. Every now and again I do manage to get a little something, and its usually when they have either their midyear summer sale or the new years sale where you get an additional 50 percent off their already discounted items. I've actually gotten a lot of things that aren't clothes like body spray, hair accessories, dinnerware, candles, and actually; one of the best Thai cookbooks I own I bought at this store for 10 bucks on clearance. People at this store particularly are very friendly. It's clean and well kept as well.

Anthropologie of Westfarms is a beautifully styled store, of women's quality items and home pieces…read more This store isn't as elaborately styled as some stand alone Anthropologie stores that aren't a part of a mall. As soon as I walk inside I'll notice beautiful dresses, that might be off the shoulder or backless, in the most stunning fabrics, colors and prints. Their home section offers some beautiful pieces that any host would be thrilled to receive as a gift. The mugs, glasses, dish towels, aprons, and candles are all great examples of those gift giving appropriate items. With holidays or seasons you'll find the fitting decor. I've always been impressed with the wide variety of Christmas ornaments, and the intricate detail that adorns each one. The one big drawback is the cost. Anthropologie is high end. However, currently during their 40% off sale, it might be a good time to check out the sale section.
