    I've been following French Wink via email since August of 2023. I didn't realize their store was on West 29th! This was a happy discovery while on my way to Magnet Theatre! I thought the store would be closed when I arrived around 6:30pm, but I learned they stay open until 8pm. A host of the adjacent restaurant walked me over to the shop. I looked around for about 15 minutes filling my arms with all the French treasures I could get my hands on. I grew an affinity for Maxim's chocolate crêpes after stopping by the store at The Louvre. This is a classic souvenir from Paris with sweets that live up to the decadence of the packaging. The Belle-Époque comes to life in the Georges Goursat illustrations from the actual Maxim's cafe. I bought this travel box of 24 (dark and milk) pieces to share with friends ($19.90). I personally like to add in a dab of the Créme de Marrons de l'Ardèche ($8?). This chestnut gel is unique and I highly recommend trying some if you are searching for something sweet and new to your palette. I also picked up Féret "Le Baume" ($17). This natural ingredient, shea butter, skin-moisturizing balm comes in a cute yellow tin that evokes Toulouse Lautrec-like paintings. This went on slightly glossy, but absorbs well into the skin. The scent of honey and chamomile is calm and not overpowering. The store has samples of all the beauty products, so you can try before you buy. I didn't ask questions, but the staff was available and ready to help me if I needed. I appreciate a store that allows you to read labels and spend time with the products before deciding what you need. Outside of the Maxim's, chestnut cream, and hand balm, I also bought an assortment of fruit-flavored jellies for my friend who just flew into town. In all I spent about $50 to take a 15 minute stroll buying up some flavors and scents to evoke memories of France. I've shared my treasured finds with friends and can't wait to return with them.

I don't really like returning stuff and luckily the fascinator to bought from eve Bari matched exactly with my outfit . One suggestion when it comes to buying hats or fascinator always bring your dress / outfit so you can tell which one is perfect for the outfit . Eve Bari is on W 57th and very accessible through MTA ...

It had just…read morestarted heavily snowing, but I doubled back towards the store after spotting a pillbox hat on the mannequin. Note that I've previously stepped inside the shop to survey the selection, and last night I stopped in for what was only supposed to be a quick moment... The owner greeted me and almost immediately started talking prices. This is $20 dollars and we have that for $25 dollars, but this is a little more expensive, and that's this price. Oh, that fascinator is beautiful on you and you can put it layaway. It was just $79 dollars, mind you. Excuse me? It's such a turn-off when people see brown skin and assume that the purchase would be unaffordable without a payment plan! Not to mention, I started off by noting that I was only taking a quick peek on my way to pick up my Nordstrom purchase. Though I promptly told her that I don't need layaway and I pay for things outright, I had already decided that I wouldn't be buying from there. Her fixation on talking to me about price was all I needed to hear. Nothing disgusts me more than when people make assumptions! I have beautiful vintage hats in my collection, fine jewelry and quality costume jewelry, and beautiful bags that I've purchased abroad. She could've had a repeat customer who prioritizes quality goods and, more importantly, quality service.

    I love Muji. I am not much of a shopper. But if I walk by a Muji and I have a moment, I will stop…read morein. I try to resist impulse buys. I am confident, however, I will find something that appeals to my frugality. I do not know if Muji invented the concept of a brand that is not a brand, in the sense of not advertising itself, which ironically achieves its own iconic minimalist status. They have perfected it though. Last time, I got their 90 degree socks. I actually have concluded it is not a gimmick. I have some socks that slip off, at the heel, in particular if I wear them with runnig shoes. These do not. Everything I have acquired from Muji has gone into my regular rotation. The design is good, the quality is there, and the prices are not outrageous. So I commend Muji to you if you have a similar sense of not wanting to want, but being willing to browse. I'm confident you will find something on every visit.

    If I could rate Muji's customer service separately from its products, it would be one star…read more The problem isn't that mistakes happen--it's how Muji handles them. My order arrived with missing items despite paying oversized shipping and waiting days for delivery. Since then, I've been stuck in an endless cycle of apologies with almost no action. After nearly a week of emailing back and forth, I was asked to provide my order details again. Why? The entire email trail already contains everything they need. Instead of reviewing the case history, each representative seems to start from scratch, wasting the customer's time because they can't be bothered to read their own correspondence. Muji has mastered the art of apologizing without actually resolving anything. Every response is filled with sympathy and promises to "look into it," yet there is no urgency whatsoever to fix a mistake that was entirely their responsibility. Once they have your money, you're left waiting while your case sits in limbo. For a company that promotes quality and simplicity, their customer service is anything but. Poor communication, zero ownership, endless delays, and customers forced to repeatedly chase for updates. Paying extra for oversized shipping clearly doesn't translate to better service when something goes wrong. If you're lucky enough to receive your order intact, you'll probably have a good experience. But if there's a problem, don't expect Muji to treat it like a priority. Based on my experience, their customer service is all apologies and no accountability.
