To date, I'm quite happy with the purchase of an adorable striped cotton/linen dress and a silk screen scarf with a distinctive hare pattern that I'm constantly getting complimented on. I had a ton of fun in here trying things on and looking around. The customer service was incredibly friendly, but not pushy or aggressive. To be honest, I feel like a lot of boutique shops in Victoria have a snobby "you're not good enough to be in my shop" attitude, and it was so refreshingly lovely not to encounter any of that here. I'm a fan.

Honestly, this one caught my attention solely because of it's adorable & "easy-going" sounding name. Milkman's Daughter? Adorable! Sounds like a shop I would love to visit. It was not even a block away from the cafe we were enjoying coffee. Appealing storefront & we were warmly greeted (and compliment) by the nice gal working that day! I felt welcomed & comfortable browsing the shop. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything neither was I made to feel inferior as some boutiques may make some people feel. They got some lovely local products, handmade stuff of all sorts. Also, they have clothing for babies, toys, adorable books & toys! There is definitely something for everyone in here. I recommend popping in yourself & paying them a visit!

The warm wood floors and tables gave me that old world feel that instinctively makes me think of luxurious history while contemporary brands like Co-Lab (the purse I bought) make me consider compromising a month's worth of food for a chance to enhance my wardrobe. And some sweet service to boot! Suasian, you'll be seeing me next Victoria trip, for sure!

When people think of organic clothing images of itchy-scratchy cotton panties and burlap sacks pop…read moreup. But the eco-fashion industry has undergone a revolution and today's organic apparel is some of the hippest, trendiest and most comfortable clothing around. I visited this Victoria shop and bought outfits that quickly became my favourite to wear, namely because they were so comfortable. Organic clothing, which can be made from bamboo, cotton, help, corn or soy, feels like a second skin. It doesn't irritate or scratch; it's entirely natural. The prices are no more expensive than your typical boutique or streetwear shop. Cool brand names are Thieves, Twigg & Hottie, Myco Anna and Stewart Brown, which are all Canadian but for Stewart Brown, which comes from California. Whether you have allergies to certain materials or you choose to embrace social and environmental causes related to organic producers, this is a great place to shop for style, comfort and a sustainable world.

I thumbed over a pretty cardigan. I wanted to buy... I had my credit cards out, but every time I went to, something told me not to. Perhaps it was the smell of incense in the air and in the fibers of the cardigan that didn't do it for me because I left without anything in hand, feeling a little blue. Like the incense had depressed my mood and stripped me of my favourite type of therapy - the retail variety.

To my huge surprise, this store impressed as soon as I stepped in. Very bright and stylish and at the same time inviting and comfy. You can see the store owners put a lot of work and love in this place. In addition to the store design, I was taken aback with the clothes selection and how it's tastefully organized on the rack and the shelves. Kudos to Natalie and Maria! And what a service! These girls treated me as VIP and for this short period of time I was given some beautiful choices for outfits and also the style that would suite me the best. It's definitely not your ordinary store. I'll be back for more shopping! Christina

They had tea samples outside (don't mind if I do! ;-)). I have an increasing interest in upscale and high end vintage inspired fashion, with a unique and otherworldly twist.

I ordered an earl grey tea to go. I really enjoyed it. I love sipping tea while I shop.

I assume it was the owner Khloe who was working because she had her beautiful new born baby with her and she was very knowledgable. I picked up a dress and fell in love with it right then and there. It was a little pricey but after talkng to Khloe she said well if you dont try it on you'll never know! So i gave it a go and it was just as beautiful on as it was on the hanger. So I splurged. But long story short, I found the owner extremely helpful and easy to talk to. Cutest little Boutique!! I'll be back :)

Least likely mall store I've seen in recent years; it's just not tacky enough, or even mainstream…read moreenough, to reside in the same Petri dish as American Eagle and The Gap. Though I should note that this mall in general impressed me, and controverted my generally low opinion of malls in general by having a designated parking space or two (perhaps more) for expectant mothers or those with small children and food court fare that did not suck monkey balls. Who knew this could happen? Canada, this mall--combined with fantastic local offerings like Coffee Crisp-- totally makes up for the whole mountie thing. But back to Bellissima. Much of the clothing here is stunning, and ranges from diva attire to the merely gorgeous. Most of it is far from mundane, and it's wildly expensive. Superior materials, like rayon blends with leather edging, super soft and supple leathers, and telltale sartorial flourishes like extra seams and intuitive darts suggest--correctly--that these clothes did not originate on this continent. Most (if not all) of their inventory comes from Italy, and it absolutely lives up to its name. Really hard to not be irresponsible in this store. Truly decadent clothing for the occasional splurge (unless you're loaded, in which case you should just come on down and buy up the whole store).
