From the moment I walked in I personally was a little overwhelmed. The name Nordstrom leads me to expect a certain vibe, this did not hit that. The shoe area is a good size, but tiny aisles. It was pretty organized. There is some areas to sit, but not enough. There were people sitting on the floor. There were many racks throughout. There is lots of departments like kids, mens, womens, shoes, bags, suitcases and much more. There is a lot to sift through. The pricing was in my opinion a little high. I can find items one sale, cheaper especially with a coupon. I am sure I made a face at some of the pricing like, "Um really. You want that much for that?" The staff were ok.

This fabulous shoe store is a must to check out. Elena the owner of Bus Stop has a fantastic eye for shoe design and she is friendly and helpful. She also supports local artists and carries handbags and jewllery. It is in the heart of Fabric Row. Also check out the fourth Friday of every month, Fourth on Fourth. Same as first Friday, not as congested, stores stay open late that night each store has activities or guest artists showcase their work. read more

A Candy Store for your feet! Each shoe looks better than the next. Color, texture, and shape, this shop is a mini shoe gallery where you can touch and try on. The ever changing window display acts as an art installation, inviting you in. The owner Elena, is very patient as you fall in love over the shoes, helping you make the right decision for your style and budget. No pushy sales tricks here. Shoe therapy, YES!

Recently I bought a 30$ corset top, tried it on, and realized it just wasn't my color and I didn't like the design on me like I thought I would. So literally a day after I bought this top, I try to return it, and the person behind the counter says she can't accept it because the top was damaged. She pointed to these little white marks which I feel were very unlikely to have been caused by me as I had nothing that would change the color of the dye, but even if she was right that meant the top was not made out of quality material and $30 was an outrageous price to pay for it since it got ruined in a single night. I didn't even wear it for long. I could just as easily go to the rainbow across the street and buy something from clearance for 5$ that won't get ruined from a single wear and last me for several years. Yet Eternity insists on charging $50 for a lot of these items. It's a waste of your time and your money, honestly might as well stick to hot topic because at least they'll give u a full refund if anything breaks too fast.

The building is an old factory structure tucked in a quiet industrial area. The street out front is where I parked. It was well lit, no problems getting a spot up front. Briar Vintage offers a highly curated selection, thoughtfully grouped by era, clothing style, purpose, etc. For instance, all work uniforms are in one area, all mens suits are in another, etc. Interspersed are vintage advertising signs and art, which adds to the atmosphere. The owner here knows their clothing, and their pricing is fair for what they offer. This is not bargain basement, this is not Bulk Vintage and it's not Goodwill.
