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

Annabel's was the only store in Nova Scotia to carry the Dessy line. The owner was very helpful and although she did not have the dress in stock did the measurements and ordered it for us. She was able to give us samples of other dresses similar so that she could try it on and see what it looked like. I also got a mother of the bride dress there and very happy with it. I read some reviews that said the quality wasn't there but I have gone to other dress shops where the prices were higher And the seams let go and the beads fell off. They may not have the biggest selection but they can order it and the quality is there

Turbine is bringing high fashion to Atlantic Canada in a way that will entice fickle fashionistas and budget shoppers alike. With some stunning pieces available for $50 (I'm thinking specifically about the signature Turbine belt), it's all about the accessible accessories! They don't have menswear so I didn't dive too deep into the product but the store is gorgeous, dynamic and fun to shop in whether you're looking for something specific, or just appreciate beautiful things. Take a peak so you can look back and remember where Halifax's hot fashion scene all began and be sure to keep an eye out for their happenin' collection shows that are not be missed.

Pauline Dickison of Lunenburg Nova Scotia specializes in creating durable and amazing looking bags made out of old sails. Each bag comes with a unique history about the comings and goings of specific ships and their sails. I highly recommend you read Pauline's story about how she came about her business: http://directory.southshorenow.ca/print.php?id=7247 I personally love my sail bag! My particular bag is made out of a previously used sail from SV Concordia; the sail training ship that went down off of Rio de Janeiro on February 17th, 2010. Neat history eh? I highly recommend making a trip to Lunenburg this summer to check out the Windbag Company or email Pauline ahead of time to see when she'll be at the Farmers Market.
