During one of the most difficult times in my life--navigating my breast cancer journey--Cathy and her store became a source of peace and healing. She didn't just welcome me as a customer; she welcomed me as a sister. Our conversations helped me open up--not just as a woman, but as a speaker and someone longing to build deeper community. Cathy leads with love, compassion, and a spirit of sisterhood that transcends race, gender, and background. I've witnessed it, and I've experienced it firsthand. Since discovering Catwalk Couture, I've stopped shopping at major department stores. Instead, I make the conscious choice to support businesses and people like Cathy--authentic, gifted, and deeply rooted in purpose. I love her not only as a businesswoman, but as a person whose God-given talent continues to bless so many. I pray for continued success and leaving a lasting legacy. I wish she was back in South Florida, but when we speak it's as if she right back where we met.

I have purchased several items from Catwalk Couture, and have definitely recommended it to my friends. I read in a review about Catwalk Couture being prejudiced? Really? That is not the experience I've had at Catwalk Couture- and trust me my friends and I are as black and brown as they come. I value this store to purchase my high-end merchandise. I will ALWAYS give Catwalk a five star rating, until they give me reasons not to.

Went here to drop off two boxes of hardcover books, mostly thrillers in pristine condition. They're…read morenot accepting books, but someone kindly said that I could leave one box. So I did. Their book collection is generally exceedingly boring. Old, obscure writers, poor condition. Hopefully my books will sell. This is a very well-kept and appointed store. They have some beautiful things. I am partial to fine china and crystal, but fortunately do not have room for any more. Prices here can be high, but the overall quality of the items is great. I struggled mightily against buying some particularly pretty china, did not give in, and wandered through the store. There was a tea cart that would have pounced on, but alas I already have one. Sad, because I like theirs better. At $175, it's not cheap. The people who volunteer here are very nice I was saddened to see a sign saying that they had to close the changing rooms because of tag switching and theft. That's really terrible. What awful people, to steal from a charity. Anyway, it was fun to wander around. Very pleasant store. Not necessarily a place to find bargains, exactly, but you might find something lovely and help a good cause.

Phenomenal employees, organization of store and if you're looking for dishware/crystal pieces, they have a lot!

If yes, to any or all of the above, this small business is for you! I like stopping in for one of the ever changing iced tea options & a pastry from Rockaway Beach Bakery.

They are thoughtful & community minded, organizing markets featuring an assortment of local small businesses, artists, & other vendors. Follow them on instagram to keep up with all their well planned events.

The best part about Bellport jewelers is that they have a passion for antique and showed me a beautiful vintage round diamond after looking at so many newer cuts that I wasn't loving.

They really do exceptional work and take great pride in it. This place is not like those generic super mall chain store jewelers which I personally can't stand. Their store is in the quaint town of Bellport which is very historic and beautiful to walk through, shop, enjoy an ice cream or grab a slice of pizza. Instead of selling my unwanted gold.... Peter did the most amazing thing with my pile of jewelry. He made me custom pieces that were so artistic and organic.... and I am the only one who has them! If you are an artist or appreciate art like me - definitely see Peter. Plan on staying awhile in the store because odds are you will sit down for a good chat!

I think because I had on a big coat and my friend is black, that she thought we were there to steal. She questioned my friend why I was looking at their selection of beads, I'm an artist, I make bracelets! My friend was going to buy something, but the cashier said that the other item was cheaper and more affordable, which rubbed my friend the wrong way. Like as if she didn't have money because she was black. It's a cute store, but they should really teach their employees not to hound people and judge them. My friend was ready to spend $200 dollars there, but because the cashier was so weird, she didn't! So they lost a sale because of the cashiers weird comments.

I contacted this business on Yelp and Jerry was super responsive. I decided to go down to Main Street (I avoid this area like the plague bc it's so busy) but it was well worth the trip. His booth is inside a building with multiple businesses and his is on the left side about halfway in. It was a Saturday so it was busy. He was so friendly, personable and honest. He cut the anklet, added the clasp and it came out very good. He finished within 25 min or so while I waited. I loved giving my business to this small business and nice guy. Thank you!

NYC Brides beware. She made the week leading up to my wedding so unnecessarily stressful and almost…read moreruined my dress for my wedding day (thankfully It was saved by an emergency appointment with a different seamstress two days before my Wedding) I'm truly shocked that Selene somehow has rave reviews, if you look at yelp and look at the 1 and 2 star reviews, you will see some similar experiences. My wedding was June 27th. She had my dress since April 30th initially she scheduled me for two alterations and then the pick up on June 21st final fitting was supposed to be May 30th. Everything seemed to be going fine until on May 30th the dress seemed to fit well overall just needed a few final touches near the chest (turns out It fit because It was still pinned, I didn't notice initially, I had to go back to pictures and realized this after the fact) because she said on the 30th It needed some more alterations to get the chest area right, she scheduled me for a 3rd final fitting on June 13th. When I'm walking out my door to go to her on June 13th, she calls to tell me she needs to leave as she has a medical Emergency, okay feel better I say, call Me next week to reschedule. When I don't hear from her by Wednesday the 18th, I call her and she says "I'm dealing with this medical issue right now what do you need is there a deadline?" Wild question to ask given the fact that she should have down that my wedding was the following week.. I politely remind her that my wedding is the 27th and I was leaving the 26th so I really needed It by this weekend. She agreed to see me earlier on in the day on the 21st this was I can pick It up that evening if any additional alterations are needed (by the way I later found out that her medical emergency was that she got two teeth pulled as per her report on the next fitting day) Okay this is where things really get out of control. I go in on the 21st and I am SWIMMING in my dress (this is when I didn't realize until after the fact that this is because the last fitting I had on the 30th the dress only fit because It was pinned AKA she did 0 work) she goes "OH MY GOD you lost so much weight WOW what have you been doing you lost several dress sizes, I need to do more alterations, this is too much work to do in a day, I'll work with you but you have to work with me you have to come back to pick up Monday night" I left scratching my head, I really did not think I lost weight at all let alone 2-3 dress sizes in two weeks but she had me convinced that my hot yoga I've been doing made my dress no longer fit, until my friend and I examined the pic from the last fitting. Once I realized she just straight up lied because she didn't do work and instead used my weight as an excuse, I started panicking. My MOH agreed to go with me Monday, we had a game plan.. go in, really hope the dress is done do my Fitting wait until dress is in bag in hand and then call her out. But then It didn't fit. Yes the alterations on the side were finally done but the chest area remained very loose. I think it's important to add, I'm a C cup, very average breast size there's really no reason to have trouble with this if you're a professional seamstress. Anyway, she says to me "yup like I've said since the beginning, this dress still won't fit your chest right, I will have to add straps, it's very normal, tons of brides do It " mind you, this is now 4 days before my wedding and no she never once mentioned straps to me until this appointment. I said absolutely not, you're not touching my dress another second. She responds "well I know weddings can be stressful but I have mentioned straps since the very beginning (she didn't) and it's not my fault you lost all this weight" that's when I decided to call her out on knowing she was lying then she started screaming at me in her shop like truly screaming at a bride 4 days before her wedding when she messed up this brides wedding dress.. It was a nightmare. Her mom comes out from the back room and assures me she can fix It in under an hour and I can watch. My MOH and I sit there awkwardly as her mom stitches the breast area a little more and makes It a little better It was doable I guess with like fabric tape if I wore It as is. Selene comes back after her mom fixes It to do the 'final fitting' and to show my MOH the terrible bustle she did. During this time she tells me.. don't walk backwards you will trip. Selene at the end goes "you made me nervous before can we hug It out?" It was truly the weirdest situation I honestly just wanted to get out of there so I just Said OK and played nice at the end, I wanted to remove myself from any more conflict and stress. She didn't charge me the final payment due to "misunderstandings" according to her, but her deposit was half so I still paid her $390 and I'm pissed about It.
