Pretty dresses! Lovely tops! Beautiful jewellery! What's not to LOVE about Andie's?…read more When my sister invited me for a day of shopping in Kitchener, I wasn't expecting much. Coming from Toronto, I'm spoiled with a spectacular shopping scene and the whole idea of a small town with a few chain stores kept looping around in my head. But I love my sister, and I'm not one to turn down shopping, so I obliged. King Street actually has a few neat shops, but my favourite by far was Andie's. A small, independently owned boutique, Andie's is a haven of girly dresses. Some are slightly business, some more casual and some for fancy parties...all in all they have a great selection and carry a variety of brands. If I had to describe the overall style I would say it's classy, but definitely fun. Andie's also has shirts, pants, skirts, and jewellery (although the dresses are the main focus). Decor of the store is gorgeous! Beautiful accent wall at the back, with patterned wallpaper...I'm not sure what the print is called, but I want it for my house now. Change rooms also have that boutique feel, and make you feel like a socialite. Service here is fantastic too! The sales girls are friendly, but not pushy; they're helpful, but they give you space. They also know their stuff when it comes to fashion, and it genuinely seems that they love what they do. I mentioned to my sis that one of the girls seemed particularly helpful, and she whispered to me "oh, that's Andie." That's right, the owner of the store works out on the floor and sees that everything runs smoothly. And that just gives me the warm fuzzies. Prices are a little high, but in this case you're getting every penny's worth in quality and style. My overall rating? Andie's -- it's worth the drive to Kitchener.

I always like to go to Out of the Past when I'm looking for something funky…read more I've been to their locations in both Hamilton and Kitchener and I must say that the one in Kitchener is MUCH more awesome! The girl that was working the counter was friendly and helpful, even when they didn't have what I was looking for. But whether you're on the hunt for a funky vintage dress, fun alternative spiked jewellery, or something to add to your goth/steampunk wardrobe, Out of the Past most likely has something for you. I've found everything there from vintage back braces to Ugly Christmas Sweaters, to huge spiked collars, to military wear, to Lipservice and TRIPP clothing. It's kind of hit-or-miss if they'll have what you want, being as a lot of it is vintage. Of course they can't guarantee what will be there. . .but it's always an adventure going in and hunting around for that treasure that you feel is probably hiding just beyond your sight somewhere. . .

I was originally looking for a Velvet Underground tee (the Andy Warhol one) but like Catacombs down the street they didn't have it. They did however have the Joy Division shirt that I've been looking for. The shirt was priced at $20 and the woman said that if I just pay with cash she won't charge any tax so another win. I also think the staff is really friendly but the place does look a little shady and the changing "rooms" are just little spaces with a curtain and a mirror on a chair lol

I found the prices here very reasonable, picking up a nice pair of khakis here for only $19.99 plus taxes. The only downside I found was that there isn't always enough staff here for the number of people in the store at peak periods, and therefore we have had issues getting questions answered during busy times as well as long line-ups.

But I was so pleasantly surprised in this modern yet classic boutique on the main street. Half of the store is bridal / prom dresses and the other half carries women's clothing, accessories and more. The store is sectioned by colour and I found that very aesthetically pleasing. It was nice to see they carry Canadian / local brands so you are sure to really support local here. The quality of the clothing reflects the price, to me quality speaks volumes. The staff were helpful, masked, and supportive of my choices. I could have spent way longer in the store because each time I walked around I saw something new. They have a cute section of bride themed items so if you're in a bridal party or have a bride in your life, definitely come see the unique items they have here!
