Anthropologie is one of my favourite stores in West Ed! I mean where else can you go to find…read moreclothing, decor, housewares, toys and books in one spot? The store makes me feel like I've walked into some wealthy lady's dressing room. Clothes everywhere. Lingerie everywhere. Decorations everywhere. Kids toys. Housewares. Every time I go in I just want to lounge on the settee and have my servants cater to my every whim. OK, back to reality. As mentioned, Anthropologie is a hodge podge (I mean that in a good way) of clothing, decor and books. The clothes can be a bit over the top but the closer you look the more likely you'll find something of interest. The cool thing is they also have kids toys and housewares. It's almost a one stop shop. Another dose of reality is their prices. They're on the high side, but like many things in life you get what you pay for. Often times you can find the decor items at a better price, but by the time you find (if you even do) you'll likely have spend that much in time and effort. If you have eclectic tastes go here and have a feast of eye candy.

I love how the 124 St. district is shaping up into a coffee, art, boutique and restaurant mini-mecca. Shades of grey is located just around the Jasper/124 St. bend, near Matahari, Yo Mamma and a handful of other trendy shops and eateries. If you like to wear more unique brands, this store carries lines from New York and L.A., including Line & Dot, Anlo and Yumi Kim. The quality is fantastic - luscious, cozy, elegant fabrics and designs - sexy & sophisticated, inspired by more than a hint of Paris, and most of the pricing is reasonable, although there are a few higher-end price tags about the store. The next time I need a little retail therapy, I'm there - no shades of grey about it.

I came back 5 days after the purchase, with my receipt and tags still on the dress and wanted to return it. The sales girl said they did not do returns, OK fine I would have gladly taken a store credit, but they don't do that either. I was not told this at the time of purchase. One of the dresses I bought was on sale so they told me it was a final sale... that's pretty standard. But I was not told that they would only do an exchange right then and there. There was nothing in the store that I wanted since I was just there 5 days prior and bought everything I was interested in. None of the girls helped me. Finally I found something (that I know I will never wear) and went to exchange it. It was $3 dollars cheaper than the dress I was bringing back and the girl told me I couldn't get my $3 dollars back!! Finally after telling me there was nothing they could do, she called over a very rude young lady and she refunded my debit card the $3. If I could have just received a store credit I would have continued to shop there. Now I will never go back and I'm stuck with a dress I will never wear!

It seems when you go into the store, there's always something new. On my recent visit, my husband headed straight for the records and they don't update their stock often. Most fans of records likely go to specialty stores. I like looking at the gadgets and browse the sale section. I found a few cute key covers that included cupcakes, sushi, and hamburger designs. How could you not use and love them for $2? Even if you don't buy anything, I'm sure you will find something funny or entertaining in this store. The selection of vintage shirts is varied and the cost around $30.

They also have a bunch of other things like trendy pictures and items to decorate your house, books, vinyl CD's, games, lego camera's, etc. It's like a cool hip novelty shop. I love to check out this store just to see what kind of cool stuff they have and even if you aren't looking to buy anything you will enjoy yourself just browsing around. I always find something I like here and have to stop myself from buying things I don't necessarily need. The staff is cool, they leave you alone and are available if you need any help. The store is unlike any other in the mall and worth taking a look at no matter what your style is.

We took a chance on Sara's and I'm so glad we did. It was the second store we went to. We walked in on May 19th, with Grad coming up on June 7th. The saleslady acknowledged that it was a tight timeline, but wasn't worried. She explained the layout of the store and let us look around for a few minutes. She was incredibly helpful with pulling dresses and getting them done up. We found THE dress quite easily. It was only the second or third one that was tried on, but there was no interest in anything else after that. They had the correct size/colour combo in their warehouse and said it would be in in a week. So, back we went on May 24th to try on the dress again. The seamstress was standing by to make note of what we wanted done, and made a few suggestions. I was worried but she assured me that the dress would be ready by June 5th and it would be perfect. She was right. It was absolutely stunning. It fit perfect and the alterations were amazing. The dress was $525 and the alterations were $189, but hey... you only graduate once! I would definitely recommend this store to others. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Side note... on one of our visits to the store, there was a lady there trying on dresses for her wedding. She was probably in her 40s or 50s and mentioned that this was her 3rd wedding. The staff gushed over her like they would any young bride and helped her find the dress of her dreams. It was so heartwarming to watch.

I wasn't sure what to expect since I walked in and found most of the casual clothing styles more for someone older than I am. I went to the dresses and starting having a look. They had a larger selection that I expected and they seemed to carry dresses of the same colour but of different styles and in most sizes as well. They also had a selection of long dresses and short dresses. I picked a few long dresses in purple to try on and was successful in finding one that fit and I liked the style. The change rooms are large and they have mirrors and heels available to wear to gauge how the clothes look with heels. They had a sale of no GST but the dress was a final sale. The price was reasonable for a fancy dress and I was happy they had it in my favourite colour. If the service was better, I would have given them 4 stars but the sales staff did not go out of their way to help me and it was pretty much self service to get different sizes.
