I responded that I am looking for a particular item, which she directed me to the specific location in the store. It saddens me that for my first visit to this establishment that came highly recommended and received that type of a reception. Unfortunately I will not be visiting ever again and will not be recommending anyone either because of this experience.

La Moda is a delightful shopping experience, especially for those of us who hate large department stores and buying clothes online. I have been coming here for more years than I can count and have always been treated with respect. The staff are available to help if you want it and never try to push a sale. We are very lucky to have this sweet boutique in Fairfield. Small businesses run by women will always be the first stop for me!
