Dammit! Why didn't I…read morebuy those super cute orange platform shoes while I was there and I had a chance!?! Now that I am approximately 2, 553 miles away, back in Portland, Oregon, it is no longer convenient. Ah, to hell with convenient, it is not event possible. I even created an on-line account so I could shop the on-line store. I didn't even find shoes. NO SHOES!?! What is the world coming to? So eff that. I'm not even going to look at your stupid online business if you don't have shoes. The shoes you have in your brick and mortar stores are super cute. Can you tell how distraught I am? I'll have a cup of tea, do some yoga, maybe some breathing exercises, don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Meanwhile, I'm still pining for those lovely orange platforms. I will always love you orange platform shoes that got away.

Definitely different from the hundreds of other stores selling touristy dresses.

They were nice and friendly (and a little pushy saying I looked "stunning" in things when I didn't). When asked about a refund a couple of days later, they were VERY rude. Won't shop there again. They are overpriced anyway. I mean, $350 earrings that are costume jewelry with no designer name? Come on.

In my frenzy to find a dress for my niece's wedding, I went into every dress shop I could think of…read more My sales person was very helpful and upbeat. She found a selection of dresses and understood what I was looking for. They didn't have a ton of items in my size. And I do think they do a lot of specialty ordering...which of course I was way too late to do. They did have some really beautiful dresses and a variety of styles. PLUS what I saw was not the same items that I had seen in other shops around town. My sales person was great and not pushy. And didn't seem to mind that I showed up in a tshirt and tennis shoes. Parking tip: there are only a few spots in the front but there is more parking around back and that parking lot exits to the sidestreet behind the shop. Definitely a spot to check out for a special dress.

At the last minute I have twice, recently, needed a dress for two different dressy events. I asked Marion for help, and within 5 minutes, both times, she came up with the dress, the purse and the shoes. I would not have been able to find and put together the outfits that she did for me.

What a fantastic "mom & pop" shoe store. I recently needed a new pair of shoes for my 9-year old,…read morewho is very hard to fit. Living in the Lakeview area, I'm not sure how my wife stumbled onto Haase's Shoe Store, but I'm glad she did, as this is definitely our new go-to spot for kid's shoes. Located on Oak street just off of S. Carrollton, the exterior façade looks like it was taken right out of the 1960's; and I like that a lot. Founded in 1921 as Haase's Shoe Store and Young Folks Shop, they have 100 years of experience, and it shows. As I walked towards the store, I was immediately reminded of a Norman Rockwell painting, but I digress. Upon walking in, I was very courteously greeted by Mr. Kevin Caliva who, after asking what he could help us with, measured my sons feet and showed us what he had in stock. He was the consummate professional (no AL Bundy here) and treated us like we were the only people in the store, which we definitely were not. They had an incredible selection of kids' shoes. Not only did they have a large selection of tennis shoes, but they also carried boots, first walkers, casual shoes, infant crib shoes, loafers, moccasins, Oxfords, rain boots, slipper, sandals, lots of Velcro shoes up to size 5 and a huge assortment of kids school shoes. In fact, their section of solid black sneakers for school use was the most diverse I've ever seen in ANY shoe store. Haase's also sells clothing, some school uniforms, accessories and does monogramming. They even sell gift cards, which I think would be a big hit, as this store is phenomenal. We left the store with a brand new pair of Asics for my son. Kevin took my contact information, as we wanted another pair of shoes that he didn't currently have in stock. However, we are going to gladly wait for a new shipment, as this is now our go-to store shoe store for our son! I can't recommend this place enough!

I'll definitely be back for unique pieces.

This is the cutest shop on Magazine Street! So many great gifts that represent New Orleans…read more I wasn't really in the market for anything, just browsing, but then I found a lovely Magnolia patterned dog collar - perfect for my beagador named MAGNOLIA! Then I found out from the shop attendant that the state flower of Louisiana is the Magnolia! What??? My boyfriend's mom was born & raised in NOLA and loved our dog. She has been gone for a year and half, so finding this out strangely makes me feel connected to her and that she is still around. :*) Anyway, the sweet shop guy asked me to tell him the story of how my dog and I found each other. I recounted the tale of how I found her at PAWS Chicago, where she came from originally (Oklahoma), that she had a brother named "Steel", how she saved me from a life of stress, and then our connection to NOLA. I always appreciate when someone can create a warm and fuzzy moment. So thank you, Shop Guy! The collar is high quality all around - material and construction. I have purchased MANY custom collars for my baby girl and this has been the best so far. It's worth the money because I know it will last for a long time. I will be checking out their website for Christmas gift ideas since we won't be back until next year!

Adorbs! What a bright, delightful little shop at the Irish Channel end of Magazine. If you are a…read moreproud native of the Gulf Coast, or just an enthusiastic visitor/transplant (or gift giver to someone who is), you will find something to love at NOLA Couture. Think of all the symbols of New Orleans and bayou culture and cuisine. Now imagine those artfully integrated into a subtle, tasteful geometric pattern that appears on high quality accessories for ladies, men, kids, and furry friends who want to keep a little NOLA with them always. NOLA Couture has developed custom fabrics and ribbons that show off your Gulf Coast pride in a classic preppy style that you can wear to office or church without coming off too wacky. Think ties, belts, key fobs, bags, scarves, pet collars & leashes, insulated tumblers, glassware, candles, and so on. The ties and scarves are 100% silk & wool. Patterns include: --red beans & rice --snoballs --poboys & hot sauce --gumbo --seafood --shrimp cocktail --beignets & cafe au lait --gators --redfish --Mardi Gras kings --Saints --Louisiana --sea turtles --pirates --2nd line --boats --mosquitos --fleur de lis --fleur de sea (with a fish, shrimp, oyster, and crawfish) --street cars --hurricanes --daiquiris --seahorses --oysters & pearls --pelicans --mallards --seersucker I could not resist coming home with a red beans & rice belt for myself, plus a few ties for the Cajun/Creole men in the family. I'll probably be heading back to the online store for more gifts for upcoming birthdays. Fans of LSU, Bama, Tulane, SMU (oddly), Florida and other southern colleges can find some neat things here, too. NOLA Couture even can do custom designs for you (your school, business logo, etc.), and shipping is free for orders over $65. Prices are not cheap (ranging from $10 for a laser etched glass to $95 for a loomed scarf), but the quality of the all the goods appears solid. If you are looking for $10 T-shirts about drinking on Bourbon, this isn't your shop, but then you knew that!
