It's hard to believe that I have never reviewed PRSTG before.. I've only been supporting this shop…read morefor like about 6 years now.. This is the only boutique shoe shop I've ever felt so welcomed in. I've gotten almost my entire shoe collections from here. The owners are super nice and will take care of you. When I can't find a shoe I want, I always call and if they don't have it, they will find it for me! The guys have become like family. (Which is the MAIN reason we continue to support their shop.) It's not a consignment shop, but when I want to get rid of a pair, (as long as they are still resell-able) they have anyways given me a fair price. They always have good kids size shoes too, and they are at such a fair price too. (Just picked up a youth size "bred 4" for $40...) I've watched this shop expand from tiny shop, to the expansion into the next building over. And I can't wait to see how much they expand and grow!

The clothes blend well with my Madewell, Anthro and Eileen Fisher outfits. I work in the design field so I have to look a bit polished with a modern edge; this caters to my style. I would definitely encourage people to step inside (I go strait to the sales rack) and try things on. It really is surprising what you can find.

Lan Vie designs are in my top 3 for the Bay Area. I've been shopping here years, so this review…read moreis long overdue. What I've always loved about Lan Vie, both as a designer and a boutique, is that the fashions change often, everything is well-made, and you find lots of day and night ready options. My first years shopping here were looking for stage wear, mostly dresses, as a performer.Then, as I toured, I needed fabrics that packed and traveled well. They always have lots of pants / jackets like this. I love how the owner is the designer, and how she knows what we want, and even shifts her designs based on customer feedback. Highly recommended to find something original for a special event or weekend. Since the owner changes things up, sometimes you'll find an abundance of edgy designs, other times, bright, and sometimes formal. The pieces mix and match well too. So I recommend stopping by often to see what's new.

ALL MY HEALTHCARE FIELD WORKERS!!!! Check them out!!!…read more I have been dying at work due to me wearing the wrong shoes, and everyone has been telling me to try Hoka shoes. I didn't even know how to pronounce the shoes when I called lol. I was on Google and was trying to find where I can buy some from that was close by... I didn't really feel like going far or a lot of other shoppers in the store, crowed.. just too much social anxiety. So I found this very cute aesthetic pleasing " nurse shoe store " I call it online. I called and spoke to Victor on the phone, he's the OWNER!!! Super cool chill guy...great vibes - I loved his vibe in fact. He told me what they had in store and what most Nurses go for but he had exactly what I needed. I came on by, he brought out sooooo many different brands for me to try on and even different styles in the different brands. He took his time with me, he was not rushed. Didn't mind helping me actually find a great shoe that worked for me, he even let me try on each and every one of them, measured them for me to make sure they were a great fit... There was me and another customer in the store and also another store associate I believe name Andrew!!! Everyone was super chill, it was definitely vibes. We all talked about shoes and the shoes we were looking into and I felt so comfortable. I really want everyone to come check out this store!!!! It's so hard to find a shoe store that FOCUS on COMFORTABILITY rather than TRENDY!!! And idk about you, but I'm getting up there in age and being comfortable means more to me than anything!!!! I want everyone to check them out!!! Parking right in front of the store. Which is also a score!!!! Oh yes, best part!!!! GREAT PRICES!!!!!!!!!!!! I will never go buy another work shoe anywhere else!!! EVERYONE RUN NOW DON'T WALK!!! CHECK THEM OUT!!!

Recently I've been looking for some clothing staples for work, and haven't really had any luck at other stores. Amidst a day of running errands all over the island, I popped into Kohl's to see what they have to offer. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised. Respectable selection of season-appropriate women's clothing, at very reasonable prices. I particularly liked the Vera Wang and Nine West collections. Nice options for office wear, with classic styles, clean lines, attractive solid colors, and not many of the eyesore patterns that inexplicably seem to be so popular on women's clothing. I ended up purchasing a pair of slacks and two nice tops, all for less than $90 damage to my wallet. Kohl's also came through for me not long ago when I needed a pair of nylons, and was caught completely off guard to find Walgreens, where I've purchased nylons my entire adult life, no longer carries them, due to a drastic drop in demand. Um, what? Hose is no longer a thing? What are we wearing under skirts and dresses now, ladies? I must have missed this memo. Anyways, when I found out Walgreens no longer carries it, I headed to Kohl's, and found what I needed. This Kohl's also serves as a return center for Amazon purchases, which is incredibly useful and convenient. You can bring in your Amazon returns even without the original packaging, and they will take care of the rest. Very helpful! Overall, pretty pleased with this department store, and hope it stays in Alameda for many years to come.

My cashier was Dwayne and he was humorous, and we joked a lot about all the great Christmas outfits they have and how expensive things can be online. When Zella (spelling) a cashier all in black was pretty offensive to another cashier next to us named Lachelle. She was very professional to this other person and then swung to Dwayne with pleading eyes. He comforted her, and I said that I understood. There's just no reason to browbeat your coworkers. Anyhow, what I can't say is this store is well stocked great selection of Dutch ovens, Christmas outfits for both women and men. This year they have a super selection of slippers There was no one at the jewelry counter, but it didn't take long for the folks in the fitting rooms to find someone and she was a darling girl with a scarf on her head, but she was so nice. I was shopping for nieces and she must've opened eight different cabinets for me. I was able to purchase three pieces of jewelry And grateful that she had no issue with how many pieces I wanted to see. I'm not sure why the store gets a three star review because it's clean and well stocked aside from the one employee being rude and mean to her coworkers I'll be back. I'm just across the bridge. If I were to make a suggestion, it would be for more sheets and bedding. They don't have a very big department in that but everything else is very well stocked.
