While visiting the charming little city of Ottawa, Illinois, my wife and I stopped into a…read morenondescript shop in the main downtown area. Little did we know we'd just stepped into the fashion capitol of Ottawa, LaynaBella's. Immediately we were greeted by the manager and asked if we needed any help. I told her we were just browsing but that we would let her know if we needed help...and like a great customer service rep, she gave us the time to take in all the trendy and stylish clothes this place has to offer. The selection of women's clothes, jewelry and accessories is pretty diverse and there seemed to be a little bit of everything for everyone, however this place did focus on trendy, stylish and amazing clothes that rival the styles of bigger chain stores such as Bebe, American Eagle, Arden B and others. Beautiful and sexy heels, dresses, shirts and shorts all around in this seasons best colors and patterns. My wife found beautiful color necklaces and shoes...at REALLY good prices. Everything seemed to be of good quality and at a decent price. No inflated pricing here. What I didn't expect to find, but was glad I did, was a men's section with stylish t-shirts, button up shirts, shorts. I ended up purchasing a great graphic print t-shirt and easily found my size with no problem. The men's selection was actually pretty impressive considering this is a town of only 18K people. I have trouble finding stylish clothes in Dallas that aren't meant for 12 yr old boys...this place carried up to 3X shirts for men and sizes XS to XL for women. Checking out was just as impressive. The store uses the Square register app for iPad. A quick swipe of my card, and my receipt was emailed to me within seconds and I was out of the store with my purchase. Visa, Mastercard, Discover and Amex and of course cash taken here. In talking with the manager, I discovered the store was completely decorated and furnished by the owner Beth Hoffert who, according to her works all the time to keep the store looking trendy, stylish and just plain cool. This store is definitely the center of the fashion world in Ottawa, Illinois and is more of the type of store you'd find in downtown Chicago, Dallas or another major city. If you're in the area and are a fashionista or are just looking for a good deal, this place is a must see!

I found some shoes that I liked and one of the workers walked by and I asked if the red sticker items were an additional 50% off, the worker said yes. So I spent an hour in the store looking for shoes for my grandchildren, found some for them. I then went to the register to pay for the shoes and to my surprise they did not ring up 50% off. I then questioned the worker that told me that they were 50% off and the worker stated no, only the ones with the round 50% on them. I wouldn't have wasted my time in the store if the worker did not tell me the wrong information.

I got my dress from Bridal Elegance, and could not be happier. The girls there were SO nice. The…read moreplace is huge, and they have dresses to fit anyone's budget. One room is filled with destination wedding dresses, and other moderately priced gowns. The other room is called "The Couture" room, and they have higher end gowns. None of the gowns are marked with designer information, other than the Maggie Sottero dresses. I thought this was great! If you were looking for a specific dress, by a specific designer, they are able to find it for you. However, it was nice to look at a dress, and fall in love with the dress and NOT the label. The girls there were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They let my mom, maid of honor, and I roam around the place, filling up racks with any gown. I had never tried on any dresses before this, so the girls told me that was the best way to narrow down what would look best on me. I tried on a little of everything, and when I didn't like it, they put the dress back. When I did like something, several girls walked through the store, and would grab other gowns in a similar style. They are very respectful of your budget, and do not try to upsell you or force you into a more expensive dress. The dress I ended up choosing was a brand new sample that had not even been on the floor yet, and it was a perfect fit. I was able to purchase that exact dress. The girls also informed me that if the floor sample is purchased, they will no longer carry that dress. They are constantly getting new things. We spent approx. 4 hours there. After I was set on my dress, they informed us that I would get 25% off all bridal accessories, and 10% off MOB, Bridesmaid Dresses up until the date of my wedding. The girls were always offering us bottled water, and they were pleasantly helpful. I would reccomend Bridal Elegance to anyone. It is unlike any other bridal shop that I have ever been to. I wasn't really impressed with their selection of Bridesmaid and MOB dresses, but as far as bridal gowns and accesories this place is AMAZING!

Once I gave him the green light he pulled two suits off the rack and explained things about the styles I still do not fully understand.
