You can always catch either of the gals at the shop. This is a must go to spot if you are looking for a unique piece or pieces to add to your wardrobe. What I love best about Crow's Nest is the personalized service and care you receive from them. There are so many ways to make them accessible to your any of your needs. They are really in the game when it comes to social interaction. The shop is consistently bringing in new inventory. You're not going to find just anything here. There is a lot of thought behind the items in this shop. You can find medium to more expensive ones. You can find Rails, Heartloom, LNA, Ragdoll, and even their own brand 92 West. There is an array accessories too to compliment any outfit. They also have a great sales section. One of the things I love the most is their pampering lines. You can find cozy slippers, heatless curlers, luxurious skincare and even some makeup. This is a small shop but local treat for both the community and anyone visiting.

The clothing is really not my style. It 's a mashup of ratchet meets 50's vixen babe with a dash of Bourbon street night walker. Lots of lace, dark colors, sheer items, fishnet panty hose, awkward heels, etc. They offer men's clothing, too. The store owner was on the phone the entire time while I was there, so he didn't greet/smile/acknowledge anyone that walked through his door. That was a bummer. There are several of these little shops along Main St. in Half Moon Bay, so you're not missing out on much. If customer service is a priority for you, this is not your place. If you don't mind wandering aimlessly throughout the store and browsing the variety of knick knacks...come on in!

Yes I made sure our bikes were off the path so pedestrians could get by.

Then the stroller lady ended up walking the other direction. lol. A few seconds later, this Luzluna lady comes outside with a leaf blower and starts blowing leaves behind my back and my feet.

They offer a curated selection of unique goods and accessories supporting mostly US Artisans (all their jewelry is handcrafted in the USA) and the beauty products are vegan.

Marina is a magician. I brought my wedding dress, which was a sample dress with beading that…read moredesperately needed some love and sizing down, and my reception dress 3 months prior to my wedding day. Marina works so quickly and efficiently that starting 3 months was actually a bit early- 2 months would have been sufficient for me. The first fitting appointment was a bit of a whirlwind so it helped to have additional set of eyes as well as pre-meditation of what I wanted. After the initial alterations, there was only one additional minor alteration needed for my wedding dress. She did an excellent job fixing up the beading, with the overall fit, bustle, and changing the lining, and her prices were more than fair. I did have to ask to try on my dress after the 2nd round of alterations, as that was not part of their usual process. Marina holds onto the wedding dress and steams it right before you pick it up, which should be closer to your wedding day, so plan accordingly. I took my reception dress home after the first alterations, but after practicing for our first dance, I decided I wanted some additional security to keep the strapless dress up. I brought it back to Marina, who easily added an elastic band and clasp to the inside, and I was able to dance away comfortably on my wedding night.

Because there were so many people my appointment got started late (which happens and we didnt have plans after) with a stylist who seemed sort of flustered. Sadly, the shop is very run down with faux leather furniture that is cracked and dirty from wear. The pedestal is shaggy with worn carpet and the whole shop had a bit of a stale smell. I wont name my stylist cause I dont want to be unkind but she seemed confused that I had chosen this shop as my first stop. Im not sure if its well understood that you shouldnt come here if you havent tried on any dresses yet but, it did make me feel like she thought it was a waste of time. Additionally, they didnt have very many styles to choose from. There were hundreds of dresses, for sure, but they were all very very similiar and either A- Line princess dresses with huge skirts, V cut necklines or heavily beaded and embroidered. I was really hoping for mini dresses, something with pleats, two pieces, tiered dresses and more color variation like off white, champagne, cream, blush, etc. I suppose I should have read the reviews.
