What a lovely store. The owner is so attentive and helpful…read more Store has lots of new clothes and high end consignment pieces. The new clothing pieces are high end and so reasonably priced. Bought a gorgeous little black dress very upscale style. Lots of fun pieces to try. Right beside C'est tout bakery. Worth a stop!!

So this Saks off 5th was the first one in Canada. I couldn't believe it, the sleepy suburb of…read moreKanata got Canada's first Saks off 5th (in 2016), lol. I guess it's better to experience growing pains and lessons learned in a smaller and less critical market. Anyway, I've been coming here pretty much since it opened, even though it's a bit of a trek for me. The trip has been more worthwhile for me since Tanger Outlets opened a Marshalls, which coincidentally is nearby to the Saks off 5th. They have a selection of items that sold in Saks Fifth Avenue, but they also have items that are exclusively at Saks off 5th (i.e. were never actually in the retail Saks Fifth Avenue boutiques). For the high-end brands, the prices are less than retail, but you won't get bargain basement prices that you will rave about for years, like at Winners or Marshalls. Case in point, I've never seen a Missoni dress at Saks off 5th go for less than $200, but I once scored a Missoni dress (in perfect condition, I should add) at Winners for $55 (!) That being said, Saks Off 5th almost always has several Missoni dresses, but you'll only see them at Winners maybe once every 5 years, and maybe only 2 of them. So selection at Saks off 5th is much better. I mean they always have high-end brands, meanwhile Winners and Marshalls will get some in during their "Runway Event" and "Red Carpet Event" respectively. These happen only a few times a year, and inventory sells out within a week or so. Nonetheless, I still love all 3 aforementioned stores (Winners and Marshalls more for the prices, and Saks off 5th more for the selection/availability). The change rooms at Saks off 5th don't have real doors; they have curtains. However, you can "lock" the curtains with hooks, which I appreciate, so strangers don't barge in on me while I'm trying to wiggle myself out of a bandage dress, haha. They have a good selection of women's and men's clothes. The kid's clothes selection is small, as is the kid's shoes section. Women's shoe section is huge. Men's shoes section is smaller. Accessories section is ok (mostly purses/wallets, jewelry and sunglasses. Some scarves and belts.) This place is like I mentioned earlier in the Tanger Outlet Mall, so there's ample free parking.

I'm really happy that Saks is finally here! Yes, it's not…read morethe cheapest but it's nice to have a few high end items in Ottawa. It's a small Saks store but ok selection. One thing that bothered me was how the newborn & infant clothes were set up on a really high rack (see pic). I'm pretty sure a tall employee had something to do with that and forgot about us short and average height people :( Please, Mr/Mrs Manager - please bring down that rack! Other than that, since it's a new store, I will give them some time to have enough stock to mark them down. Waiting for the Clearance items :-))

Beautiful new store in the heart of Preston Village. Popped in due to the beautiful window display…read moreand found a new retail shop full of clothes, accessories and jewellery. It was uber cold so I picked up a pair of mackage gloves where I can text and use my phone. So helpful! Great staff, and the mirror and dressing room reminds me of a tailor or a seamtress's with the multi dimensional mirrors. Feels cozy and friendly.

Vincent is an amazing store located in Little Italy. Angie and Amanda welcome customers into the…read morestore like it was their home. I couldn't help but admire all of the interior decor and wished I could make my house look as good as the store! Last year Angie and Amanda were so helpful in helping me special order a very limited and unique jewellery piece. I get compliments on it all of the time. Without their outstanding service, I would not have gotten it! I loved their store so much I wanted to write a blog post on them!

The men's sizing is very precise with fitted or more relaxed fit dress shirts and pants. We have mostly purchased men's clothing but they also have a small women's section as well. Two of my favourite items in this store are the wide selection of tie-able bow ties (as opposed to pre-tied bow ties) and the small selection of satirical books found at the register. The books are quite expensive and I have yet to see them on sale, but they are such fun: How to be a lady, how to behave at a formal diner party - amazing! Tanger outlets have all the essentials for every event, from the casual BBQ to a night on the town, to a fancy dress ball - enjoy!

Im in my early 60's and purchased 2 dresses for my daughter's wedding. I loved both of them. I…read morewore only one to the wedding, obviously. I wore the one that was more age appropriate for me, I wasn't really comfortable with the long v neck on the one, even at the store, but Haily/Holly said it was fine for my age and naturally my Husband agreed so I settled. Well I wore the long black one with fall colors on it, this i was completely comfortable in. Another friend of mine was there and she had purchased her dress there too, which I thought was awesome. So long story short, I am a farmgirl, no longer working in the office/business world. I called and asked if I could return the UNWORN DRESS, still with tags on it and the LUNA paper.....I DID NOT want a refund, I would exchange for a shirt(s) just the $42. pd. for the unworn dress. No they can't do that do to COVID. Hmmmm so when I went in it was COVID and I was allowed to try on as many dresses as I needed to purchase something and with a pleasant attitude. Soooo if I can't return an item do to COVID......sounds like clothing should not be tried on due to COVID......unless you wrap your body in a plastic bubble so you dont drop a germ. Sorry but not sorry, these young ladies just went against everything I thought they stood for. To bad because there were alot of shirts I seen in there that I fell in love with.....this sucks!

At this point I'd have to say about 75% of my wardrobe is from Luna. I no longer live in the area…read morebut the owner, Hailey, works with me remotely to keep finding me pieces that are perfect for my style and shape. As someone who gained a significant amount of weight due to a medical issue, having Hailey curate a wardrobe that made me feel sexy and fabulous in my skin made all the difference. Plus, her pieces are unique, not stuff everyone will have. Definitely pop in here, you won't regret it.

Went to Tanger Outlets Ottawa and honestly had a really good time…read more There's a ton of stores and I actually found stuff here I couldn't find online or at regular locations which surprised me. The deals were really good too Old Navy was solid as usual and even Lululemon had that 2 for $100 leggings thing. They have QR codes everywhere so you can just scan and join their rewards/app on the spot and get coupons while you shop which is kinda nice, didn't feel complicated. The vibe was cute too there's like a fire pit in the middle (even though it was sunny lol), music playing, and I swear I smelled mini donuts at one point with some bangers playing lol Also random tip but if you're signed up with Lindt you can get free chocolate bag for your birthday (and like up to 30 days after). Only thing is the food area is super small, like a couple spots, so don't expect a full food court. But honestly you won't really care because there's a lot to walk through. Would go back for sure.

Good selection of stores here. I am not a huge shopper unless I need something so I always go with…read morea purpose. The food court has 4 places to eat... nothing for me tho. Japanese, Subway, Greek... nah but the washrooms inside there are handy and clean. The stores I would normally go are Bath and Body Works for foaming soap and hand sanitizer.. love their candles too. Van Houte maybe for a rare treat. Tommy Hillfiger but nothing fits right as I have an athletic build so... I just look. I love Softmoc, I do have too many shoes and boots but that's allowed! My ultimate spot there is Chilly Chiles as I love hot food/sauces and the staff there are great. I love the kitchen store too but I have wayyyyy too much of that stuff as I love to cook and already have fancy glasses. Mid week is best to go for service and parking - weekends, I avoid.

So Flock Boutique is this cute little shop in my 'hood that sells cool indie Canadian brands and…read morealso Canadian brands that have made it big(ger). They have clothes by Jennifer Glasgow and Miik. They have soaps and body care by Purple Urchin. They also have jewelery by local designers and weird knick knacks like hand puppets of Canadian prime ministers, lol. So funky and weird! This store is more neat, clean and upscale-ish, a la "Yorkville" (Toronto reference) and not like Adorit in the Byward Market (that also carries local and Canadian designs, and some of the same brands, like Miik) which is more, a la "Kensington Market" (sorry, another Toronto reference), but meaning more bohemian and smelling of patchouli. Prices are high, but your getting good quality and supporting the Canadian market.

I will definitely be going back to this trendy boutique soon. I have been looking for a wedding…read moredress (something trendy and artistic and untraditional!) and I found several options here. The great thing about Flock Boutique is that the clothes are made by Canadian designers, the majority of which are women! They try to bring in lots of fashions from Ottawa and Montreal also, to be local. The accessories here are amazing! They have lots of colourful pins and earrings and some great bags! I really had to control myself, or I would have had an empty wallet when I came out. I did see several dress options, but was tight on time, so I couldn't try anything on. One of the girls working in the store patiently showed me several dresses and answered all my questions about the designers and the store. The people who work here clearly know what they are talking about. It is also great that so many of the designs are by Canadian women! For someone who wants to dress artistically, this is the perfect spot to shop.
