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!

Although the location is great and the inside of the store is clean and well laid out, there is barely any selection. Most of the dresses there were in the $200-400 range and the quality just wasn't there. There was only really one small room with dresses. The change rooms felt larger than the dress room. Most of the dresses had very thin fabrics and it was obvious they were quickly and cheaply made factory style. Which is fine for some brides, but it wasn't what I was looking for. Other bridal shops had much better quality dresses that were in the $800 range then reduced to around $300.

Frenchy's This…read morelittle gem of a location was told to me by my hairdresser when I asked where she got her slamming purse. She told me Frenchy's $30 bucks. Well you know I was going to check that out. Normally I do not like Frenchy's stores as I really don't like going through tables of cloths. She told me that this really not like that they actually have new items, tag's on as well used. Well off I go right after I get my hair done and to my surprise I see racks of cloths along the sides, off I go. As well there are table of boots still with the tags on for like under $15 bucks nice ones. Purses displayed at the front counter, some of the names are coach as well as XO and reasonable prices. Wallets and even some jewelry. This is a must for all you that love to shop. Big bang for your buck.

Their prices are good, often better than Value Village and even the Salvation Army. The selection varies and you'll have to bin-dig to find that buried gold, but they have something for everyone. From coats, pants, dresses, to jackets and odd & ends. If you like thrift store hopping, you should add this shop to your route map. It's pretty fun and you never know what you'll discover on your treasure hunt through the bins.

Turbine is bringing high fashion to Atlantic Canada in a way that will entice fickle fashionistas and budget shoppers alike. With some stunning pieces available for $50 (I'm thinking specifically about the signature Turbine belt), it's all about the accessible accessories! They don't have menswear so I didn't dive too deep into the product but the store is gorgeous, dynamic and fun to shop in whether you're looking for something specific, or just appreciate beautiful things. Take a peak so you can look back and remember where Halifax's hot fashion scene all began and be sure to keep an eye out for their happenin' collection shows that are not be missed.

So believe me when I tell you, I know a good thrift store when I see one. This place could be a 5 star location if it had a better shoe and bag section. You can tell these two sections are always small, not a lot of space was designated for them. I was so excited to visit a Frenchy's.. A true Frenchy's close to home. I had amazing luck in the sweater department, and honestly it's where I concentrated most of my searching. So I can't tell you how good the shirts or skirt bins where. As you can see from my photos, I found many of my favourite brand names. I was pumped! I went through the dresses and jackets, but came up empty handed. The selection was there, lots to choose from, just nothing to my taste. The store is large enough to keep me coming back. Although it's close, it's not that close. A bit of a drive from downtown to lower Sackville, but I would say it's worth it. The upside is there is lots of parking, I also like that the price of the clothing is listed on the bin labels (see photos). The complete price list is in the fitting rooms Incase you're wondering. Also, the dressing rooms are clean and very large. Large enough to try on the whole store if you like! The whole store is very clean! I can't wait to go back.

All in different departments. You can get some really good deals here. It is not a store where you should go away to think about if you want it or not. Chances are the item will not be there when you go back. Sometimes there are only a few items, and when they go, you are out of luck. So I have learned the hard way, If you see it and like it, buy it!
