In a pinch yesterday I popped into Colette's hoping to find a dress for a fashion function I'd…read morefoolishly forgotten. While I struck out in that department, I did leave with a beautiful vintage clutch with a peacock feather beaded across the front. I got many compliments on it all night and it was a steal at only $35. Wonderful mixture of feathered accessories, vintage shoes, dresses and skirts as well as cute, affordable new pieces that won't run you the risk of accidentally matching your friends (an Aritzia-esque hazard). Plus: the lovely saleswoman heroically tried to zip me up into a little vintage (think Mad Men) frock. It couldn't be done, but she tried and didn't make me feel badly for not fitting into it.

I brought a dress in for Wendy to sell on consignment last summer. She said she would take it and…read moreto come back in six weeks to see if it had sold, as she was going to switch to autumn clothes then. I asked if I should be signing a contract and she said no. That should have been a red flag for me right there. But instead I gave her my business card and the dress and left the store, not feeling right about it. I went back in six weeks, and she didn't know what I was talking about, and said she wouldn't have taken any clothes without me signing a contract. She finally found my name written in her book, but had no idea where the dress was or even if she had it. She told me to come back in a week. I came back and she still said she didn't know anything about it. I described the dress in detail, but she was just very curt with me. Wendy took my phone number again, and said she would call me when she found it. Well, of course she never called me. I never got my $250 dress back nor did I get paid for it. I felt I couldn't push it as there was no contract and she kept denying she had the dress. I have learned from that - always get it in writing, but I feel as though she stole my dress from me. I would never bring anything there on consignment again and would warn anyone who wants to bring anything there. I won't even shop there again, as she is unprofessional, disrespectful, and rude.

I was open to any stone and design. A tall order! Ralph took time to understand my lifestyle, likes, and dislikes to design a piece that reflected me.

He's passionate about his craft and knows lots about design and stones having been in the industry and making jewelry for many years. Thank you!

I better get my diamond back, it's only being resized no need to measure my diamond, I told them not to touch it! I'm VERY worried, I'll take it to Harlings to verify that it IS indeed the same diamond, I've been duped before not happening THIS time, I am sorry.

As I used to live in West End I use to pass this store every day…read more Went inside few times, but their product is very oriented for young girls, so I never been interested. Now, the other day I needed urgently a new pair of sun glasses (as mine got lost), I tried to find a cheap pair but no luck, no Mimosa was doing sales, so I went in. I found a nice pair of sun glasses for less than 5 CAD and got myself a cute bracelet for less than 10 CAD. So I suppose that I was wrong, you just need to come at the right moment.

I have shopped at Diane Kennedy before (the only other local plus-size designer in Vancouver) and Blue Sky puts them to shame for price, make, quality and shopping experience.

Really REAL Vintage...!?!…read more When I was younger I used to equate the term "vintage" with old, un-stylish, sometimes mothball-smelling, second hand throwaways. I was after all, a child of the 80's and honestly, whose parent's didn't do vintage...!?! It took a very close, and very highly regarded label-loving girlfriend of mine, (who is single-handedly responsible for introducing me to the world of Prada, Burberry and moderns like Tory Birch) to re-open my eyes to this wonderful world. And how amazing the world of Vintage can be! Enter Encore Fashion Boutique. This little gem doesn't appear to be an out-of-the-ordinary vintage store at first glance. When I visited it this weekend it had a bit of a run-down appearance, a basket of children's toys outside, and windows full of sparkly jewelry, some real and some not-so-real but eye catch and pretty. Being a new member to the vintage-loving cult, and naked without my fashionable confidante, it took me a second or two to compose myself and summon the courage to enter. I didn't take much convincing though, as it was suddenly clear that what lay just inside this camouflaged facade was better than anything anyone could have told me. With the ting of the doorbell I was immersed in Gucci, Coach, Kate Spade, Caroline Herrera, Diane Von Furstenberg and Manolo. Wow. These names did take a little coaxing from the racks of garments and piles of shoes, but I was more than delighted with all of my finds. Not only was I discovering discarded Versace but it was on sale from the discounted price too. 40% off the Vintage tag to be exact. And then it happened... the find of all finds - and TWO of them to be precise. I couldn't believe it as I pulled from the rack an in-perfect-condition Max Mara woolen black skirt. Followed by a grey pleated Dolce and Gabbana knee length wonder. And both, yes both, were on sale from $198 and $149 to $20. Yes, real Dolce and Max for just $20. I MUST have done something right! On top of these finds, I also discovered a Valetino cocktail dress that still had its tags on, that had gone from 349 Euros to $189 and was now 40% off. Unfortunately not the perfect fit for my body, but I've put the word out so imagine it will go quickly. Vintage, REAL Vintage, and at real Vintage prices too - something you don't find a lot of in Vancouver's Vintage specialty stores. This store is not half as picked-over as many of the other Vintage shops seem to be in and around this city. This little gem would never have enticed me if I was just passing by, but boy, this Vintage store must be the find of the century!

I purchased a leather jacket at Encore for $195, the saleslady reduced it for me from $250…read more Encore's price tag stated an original price of $650. It is made in India, so I doubted it was worth that much. After I purchased it, I went home and searched online, where I found the same jacket for $65 - $90. Of course, there is no law against making a profit, but this store is a rip-off. Encore fooled me once, but I will never shop at Encore Fashion Boutique again. Beware!
