Located right in Georgetown, the entrance is right off M Street, and there is an escalator that…read moretakes you down. Lots of good deals can be found here at mostly discounted prices. It's actually kinda big inside, and you can find almost anything here.

I found some great deals at this location and I was very happy with that, however trying to get…read morehelp from anybody that worked here was like pulling teeth. I found a hat I wanted locked in a cabinet because it was a pricier item. I saw numerous employees walking around with frowns on their faces and you could tell they did not want to help anyone. I finally found someone that looked halfway happy to be there at work and I asked him if he could open the case for me. He said he was busy, but he would be back. He never returned to help me, but I did see him avoid avoiding me numerous times when he walked back-and-forth to whatever it was, he was supposedly doing. He was definitely avoiding me though. I tried pressing the button on the cabinet and it did not work. I went to a nearby cabinet and pressed that button numerous times and it did seem to be working, but nobody showed up. Somebody walked by that did not seem to be an employee. They were buzzing around the area and I assumed they were a shopper because they made no effort to interact with me even though I was looking for help and I had been standing by that cabinet for at least 10 minutes. I finally saw another employee walking by and I asked them for help and I believe they were a manager because they went over to that person I did not think it was an employee and asked if they could help me. As soon as that manager left the area that employee scolded me for not asking her for help and using the button on the case. Her name was Toya H, according to her name tag and she had a very unfriendly attitude. I was being scolded by an employee for asking a manager for help. I tried to explain to her that I repeatedly pressed that button on the case, and it seemed to be broken, and I even went so far as to press the button on a nearby case and nobody showed up. She basically ignored what I told her. After getting that hat situation taken care of my girlfriend and I eventually made it to the registers with our items we wanted to purchase. There was a fairly long line for that time of day. There were only a few people on register, but there was an employee sitting there at a register using her phone for quite a while and not attempting to help anyone. Not really sure why they were at a register with their light off and playing on their phone, but that's what was happening. The nearby manager didn't seem to care. We got that employee once we got through the line and now she was actually helping people. All she would talk about while helping us was the fact that her 15 minute break was coming up and she couldn't wait to get away. Very unprofessional. We like to hit up these TJ Maxx stores whenever we travel to see what they have in the area that we wouldn't find at home and this is honestly the most unprofessional group of employees have run across any of these stores.

I need to report an extremely disturbing experience at a Nordstrom Rack store during a recent visit…read morewith my husband. We were shopping for outfits for our son's graduation, which should have been a positive and memorable occasion. Instead, I was subjected to unprofessional, confrontational, and ultimately abusive behavior by a fitting room associate. Upon approaching the fitting room, I followed the associate's directions regarding where to place my cart, although her instructions were inconsistent and unclear. Inside the dressing room, I found a shirt that had been left behind by a previous customer. After trying on approximately seven items, I returned them to hangers and exited the fitting room. At that point, the associate demanded that I remove and hang the shirt that I had not brought into the dressing room. I explained that it was not mine. She became visibly frustrated, entered the room herself, and then shifted her focus to insisting that I return all of my items to the exact locations on the sales floor where I had found them. I placed the clothing neatly on the rack provided near the fitting room, which is standard practice in most retail stores. I declined to return the items to the sales floor, as that is typically handled by store staff to ensure proper organization. The situation escalated significantly when the associate followed me out of the fitting area and toward the front of the store, continuing to confront me. She then called me a "horrible human being" and used an additional demeaning term toward me. Racially motivated ! Being followed and verbally insulted while exiting the store was both shocking and unacceptable. I think she forgot what her job actually was and that was too curate the clothing, and to rehang them up she had the nerve to continue following me and would have exited the store to follow me. Had someone else stopped her I am a 50-year-old customer who has shopped in retail stores my entire life, and I have never experienced anything remotely like this. This interaction was not only unprofessional but crossed the line into harassment. this incident be investigated thoroughly. No customer should be treated in this manner under any circumstances. I would also appreciate a response outlining what steps will be taken to address this situation and ensure it does not happen to others. Huge thumbs down to this store and this horrible little twit

Whew weeee!! This…read morelocation was something to talk about. I have been dying to get in this place for years but always on a tight schedule to get elsewhere. This was a Lion and Tigers and Bears OH MY situation! It's quite crowded in here. Not cluttered but crowded. They have soooo much stuff and it's all in order. This place could be 2-3 floors easy!! I saw all of my fav brands at great prices. They have a huge selection of high-end wear for a great price. They have a huge selection of summer, spring and winter wear. The cosmetics and body care... chef's kiss!! They have everything in every color/ scent/ size!! Cool accessories, luggage galore, etc. I did not take a gander at the shoes as I had a show nearby to attend. I bought 2 gorge blouses and a short sleeve loose fitting denim blue top. I will revisit very soon for some more shopping greatness.

Just had a great little shopping moment at Ella-Rue, a consignment boutique in DC that's definitely…read moreworth knowing about if you're into designer pieces without the full-price guilt trip. The edit is solid -- everything from Hermes (yes, I spotted a pair of immaculate riding boots, sadly not my size) to The Row, Prada, Chanel... even some more accessible gems from brands like Mansur Gavriel. I lucked out and found a pair of Prada Monolith loafers that are still available in-store at full price -- except mine were half the cost and looked like they'd maybe been worn once. Maybe. Such a good score, plus I got to support a small business, which always feels better than buying direct from some corporate mega-retailer. And shout out to Julia, who works there -- she was fantastic. Super helpful, super knowledgeable, and when the right shoe went missing (yes, really), she helped me tear the place apart to find it. I had almost given up, but then I spotted a Prada box... and there it was. Victory. All in all: great range, well-curated, and the kind of place where you just might walk out with a designer piece you didn't even know you needed. Definitely one to add to your DC shopping circuit.

This review is way overdue, but I cannot recommend Ella Rue enough. Back in early April I had an…read moreupcoming wedding and nothing to wear for it, and stopped in with my husband. Not only was the staff lovely and welcoming - the glass of wine offered was such a nice touch - they were incredibly helpful as well in finding me a gorgeous red Armani dress at a fantastic price. It only gets better! One of the employees (Krista) noticed that there was a small fix that needed to be done on the shoulder. Before I could even blink she had a seamstress in from a local shop, who came and got the dress to repair on their dime. I honestly didn't notice the issue until Krista pointed it out, she's got an eagle eye. Krista was amazing at coordinating the dress pickup a few days later. I couldn't get out of calls from work so she got the dress delivered to me! I cannot get over how amazing they are, and will ALWAYS recommend Ella Rue. Consider me a customer for life!

If you need any of those things, this place is right at the Rosslyn metro so it's close and worth a stop. Otherwise, no reason to come here as it has a rundown/sorta sketchy vibe. The random tables in the common areas seem to be hangouts for loiterers so keep that in mind. The restrooms here are disgusting, creepy, isolated and sometimes frequented by a variety of "interesting" loiterers so avoid at all costs!

It's an old building, attached to the Rosslyn Metro station. It has a dark and run down feel to it, and really not much to offer in the way of actual shopping. However, for those who live or work in Rosslyn, you get used to the dinginess of it and the hobos that incessantly loiter in the public restrooms on the second floor and around the first floor open seating. (Note: Avoid the 2nd floor public restrooms at all costs, unless you enjoy watching less fortunate individuals bathe themselves). Skywalk Cafe is on the 2nd level -- not a bad weight-and-pay restaurant for those who are feeling indecisive and want some buffet style food (mostly Asian). There's a Rite-Aid which is honestly the shining star of this "mall." And a Panera just opened on the first floor (Yay). Theres some other odds and ends stores around like a constantly empty women's clothing boutique (I frankly do not understand how it is still in business), a cute little jeweler (M&J Jeweler), a barbershop that appears to be stuck in the 50's, and some Bank of America ATMs. No need to come here unless you live/work in the vicinity or need to kill time by the metro.

Whether you are from out of town or…read morelooking for a DC gift to give to someone out of town, the store has an assortment of items from local creators. I usually stop in just to see what is new and the range of talent that exists in the city. Give yourself plenty of time to look at the unique items and how creators try to incorporate the DC scene into their products. It would be really neat to fill a whole home with Shop Made goods. Whoever does the curation for them does a great job. Georgetown is filling up with big name brands and stores seemingly every week. Shop Made is the perfect way to stay connected to the local side of DC in the neighborhood.

I love supporting local artists and finding unique handmade gifts so discovering a store dedicated entire to DC makers was such a happy surprise. DC holds a special place in our hearts, so we had a great time browsing the DC-themed items and reminiscing as we looked around. The shop also offers craft classes, which is such a fun touch! We didn't get to explore them because it was close to closing time, but we definitely want to come back and check them out. Since we were short on time, we didn't get to see everything, but we still walked out with several times that reminded us of the cit we love. A charming spot with meaningful finds--we will definitely be back! :)
