Today I was at the Reitmans Bayers Lake location where I was assisted by Bailey…read more It's not very often you go someplace where the customer service is above and beyond expectations but Bailey was just that. Her customer service skills were so good that she is the reason I will be going back. I fully intend to tell my girlfriends and family about the fantastic experience I had shopping there due to the exemplary customer service she provided.

This is one of my favourite clothing stores for myself! I love the clothing, the jewellery and…read moreespecially the purses. I particularly enjoy this location. I find it has a much bigger selection of sizes and far more clothes than the location in the mall. I usually go here to buy some inexpensive jewellery to dress up my outfit. I get then buy one, get one free. I also love their bags! For around $30 or so, I usually pick up a pretty nice handbag. There is nothing better than shopping for a new shirt and handbag. The staff are friendly at this location. I have asked them to steam a blouse before and they were more than happy to. I always get great service!

Be prepared to spend a lot money walking into this high-end store most pieces range from $100 -…read more$700. Accessories are definitely cheaper than clothing. Most pieces are beautifully designed and have a lot of detail BCBG is known for the bold colours, bandaged skirts, flirty tops, shoes, clutches and mainly cocktail dresses. The store is really neatly layed out new pieces at the front and sale items at the back with their dresses on the back wall. New pieces arrive frequently but unfortunately they don't get everything the website has and you can't order off the website either. Their website has great videos on how to wear pieces and their employees are very knowledgeable. During your birthday month you get 20% off or boxing day sales are the best time to shop. BCBG is pretty much the ONLY reason I go to Mic Mac as HSC has everything now. I always look forward going into BCBG to get a holiday dress I always get noticed and feel like a celebrity (celebs do wear BCBG). They have yet to bring swimwear/wedding wear into their Dartmouth store hopefully they will someday!

I visited this store Friday, June 26th 2014 around 3:00 PM…read more I expect top rate service for product in this price range. Shop workers employed there did not give me top rate service - they gave me zero service. By the looks of them I am sure they would not even know what marginally good service is. BCBG needs to train their staff & ensure they carry through. Why is it I buy $20 picture frames at Black's Photography nearby, and at no extra charge they clean and mount my photos in the frames with perfection, wrap in bubble wrap, and offer a hand out to the car - and afterwards I'm interested in a $300 dress at BCBG but all I see are 2 giggly teenage girls that avoid me? If BCBG wants to make a go of it at Mic Mac Mall they better understand that people that can afford their products expect more than crap treatment.

I heart Envy. I heart it sooo much, you guys…read more I love the fashion here, I love the occasional sale item I score, I love the helpful employees, I just love Envy. This is a place that's slightly upscale, so you will be paying a higher price than you would at some of the other clothing boutiques in this mall. However, I believe that quality is worth a little extra now and then, so it's always my first stop at HaliShop. They carry all kind of great brands, but they no longer carry my guilty favourite, Juicy Couture. Sad face. Still, the rest is pretty awesome. I've gotten so many of my staple items at Envy, from my awesome squirrel dress to my formal winter coat. I do wish they would carry more accessories, however. High fives to the ladies who work here, as they're always willing to track down an item or check other stores if they don't have something. They're also totally honest with you if you ask them about an outfit you're trying on, which is so helpful when you're shopping solo, such as I usually do. Seriously, check it out the next time you feel like a splurge. It's easily one of my fave places in Halifax for clothing.

I'm a mega fan of Envy! That is, whenever I decided to buy something new and not second hand. Which…read moreis not very often. They carry great brands, and even the brands I'm not familiar with are still in super cute designs. I'm a brand snob so it takes a lot to convince me to buy something I've never heard of. Envy's style closely mirrors what I wish my wardrobe looked like. Did I mention they have fantastic sales? Almost every time I'm in here there is a huge sale section happening for one reason or another... fall clearance, summer clearance ect. With every new season comes a new wave of sale seasons I can't wait to browse through. From casual to prom formal, you can bet you'll find something in here to fit with your style, and probably at a great price to boot!

Call me cheesy, call me trashy but I like Ardenes. It's a great place to get small non-nickel…read moreplated hypoallergenic earrings specially tiny ones, it's a great place to get cheap shoes. If you're a cyclist or just like and/or go through shoes quickly Ardennes is where you should be looking. Some of my favourite pairs of shoes came from Ardenes. No, they didn't last long, but they looked cute, comfortable and the price was right. You usually get a bogo deal on shoes there I'm aware that it's the store for younger people and I would never buy the bottoms or most of the tops there but I have found one or two T-shirts that I like such as ringer tshirts, plain ones, cute ones...buy one for five dollars get one for a dollar I mean, come on. it's not the best store but it is what it is. I like it personally. I just bought two pairs of sunglasses there today. Bogo, baby.

Ardene is located on the top level of the Halifax Shopping Centre…read more Ardene caters to the younger crowd and teens. They seem to carry a variety, ie: jewelery, cloths, hats, purses, socks and more socks, funky tops, etc, etc. You can get some good deals, like 5 packages of socks for $10.00. Keep in mind , these will not last long, I call them disposable cloths. But for the young girls, it is a great place to shop and not break the bank. Keep in mind, it is an exchange policy only.

I am a huge fan of Banana Republic. I am not a huge fan of their prices. So I was very excited to…read moreget into the outlet store in Dartmouth Crossing. The pros: 1. Great looking clothes at deep discounts 2. Great selection in a wide variety of sizes 3. Store is attractively laid out 4. Mannequins show outfits that I never would have thought to put together 5. The email coupons- sign up for them The cons: 1. Staff seem to go out of their way to avoid helping for the most part 2. The outlet line is not quite up to the same standard as the regular retail line Overall I was very pleased with my shopping experience. Don't go in expecting to be greeted immediately at the door and assisted throughout your entire shopping experience as you are at the BR flagship stores because it's not going to happen- it is an outlet after all. The quality of the outlet line is slightly lower than the flagship line, but still on par with Gap or better. I was able to put together several outfits in under 30 minutes and left feeling as though my time there had been well spent.

I work across the street/parking lot from this store so I am in here often. Over the course of my…read morejob my wardrobe has basically become a Banana Republic closet. I am glad that it's an outlet, because not only are the prices really good, but I actually prefer their selection to that of the main store in the Shopping Center, which I feel is geared towards women about 15-20 years older than me. Being so close I've learned to wait for good sales and have scored some major deals. My only issue with the store is that I find the turnover of clothes can be a little slow, but I find the get enough new pieces in regularly to keep me coming back.

What a great plus size clothing store. I shop this store all the time with my best friend. She…read morealways finds great deals and the staff are incredibly helpful. Being a plus size female, she usually pays a lot for her clothes and her selection is not that great. $70 for a pair of ugle jeans is a total sin! When she goes into Penningtons, she can usually get an entire outfit for close to $70. She usually goes in around January or February when they are in the middle of season changes. The clothes are 75% off and she gets a lot of great deals! The staff are always available to help when you need a size or even just an opinion. They always try to save you money as well even if it is just to remind you to use their club card to accumulate points. For ever $500 you spend at Penningtson, they send you a $25 gift certificate in the mail. Great place to shop!

This big box store holds a Penningtons and Addition Elle (which also carries their younger,…read moretrendier line: MXM) and it has almost everything you could need! Being such a large store there's a huge selection of styles and sizes available for every taste and size (14+). Staff are always very friendly and eager to help-out. I love that I know most of the sales associates and they know me - it makes going in there and looking for clothes SO much easier. They're not afraid to help you with selection, give their advice or make suggestions on better fits/sizes/styles. This Penningtons is one of the best plus size clothing stores in Nova Scotia!

Just ignore the staff and you'll be all set…read more I didn't remember much about this store from when I was in it while in other cities. But I thought their prices were going to be outrageous. The good news is that their prices are actually very reasonable for the most part. And I walked in right when they were having tons of deals! The sad part was, none of the clothes I wanted fit right or looked right on me. There were some interesting jackets but I wasn't in a "jacket buying" mood. Now onto the staff. When I first walked in, I couldn't find them. So I looked around and looked around some more and still couldn't find any. I shrugged, thought about how security seems pretty relaxed, then went over to the changing room to try on some of the clothes I would eventually find out didn't fit me right. I did then find staff, but they simply gave me a number and told me where I could go to try on the clothes. They weren't rude and had a pleasant sounding voice. But here is a list of what they didn't say or ask: 1. Can I help you with anything? 2. How did that one fit? 3. Could I get you another one in a different size? 4. How about orange as a color? I never found any staff who were at all interested in me as a customer. I looked around just to check and see if someone else was having better luck but no one was. When I walked by staff they were talking and coordinating with each other. But they simply acted as if there were no customer's in the store. H&M does have some nice products and even though the clothes didn't fit me perfectly, they will fit someone. So they deserve three stars for having a good variety of clothing and having deals from time to time. But two stars are missing because customer service was down right nonexistent aside from someone handing me a number and letting me know where I can get changed.

This H&M store is divided into 4 distinct sections. There is the women's casual, women's dressy,…read moremen's and kid's. I mainly stick to the women's sections, but I've ventured over to the men's section from time to time with my boyfriend and I've been jealous over the selection. Even though the women's inventory probably triples what is available for guys, I found that the selection and style was much cooler than the girls. The dressier section of the women's clothes are a little to flashy for my taste, I did pick up a nice grey cardigan which I love because it's not a typical v-neck, and instead it buttons all the way up. Prices vary, some of the more casual clothes are pretty cheap, but the formal selection can be really pricey. This is still a fairly new store so I've found that their sales have been few and far between. Hot Hint: I found a really cool (and durable!) umbrella on sale here. Keep and eye on the accessories and you can find some great deals.
