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. The style this store projected was victorian, vintage, mixed media, otherworldly, and artsy. The prices for the clothing are on the high end, which is to be expected. I ordered an earl grey tea to go. I really enjoyed it. I love sipping tea while I shop.

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!

We first thought it was a second hand store as every item was different. Turns out that's just the way Kristen, the owner, buys everything. There's clothing, purses, accessories, shoes and lingerie. We went back the next day when we had more fun. I'd seen a polka-dotted dress that my husband wanted me to try on. Dressed to go hiking later I had running shoes on. No matter - Kristen had several pairs of black shoes in the fitting room so you could look great in your outfit. As I tried on the first dress she brought others for me to try. They were all gorgeous and well-priced. Although I really liked the dress I went back for I ended up loving two other dresses even more! My darling husband insisted on buying both for me. SPOILED!! Kristen has five sons and this boutique is her chance to go full on girly. Go in there and indulge love of playing dress up Barbie. You'll have fun too.

After checking with the hotel and places we'd been, I called the store, asked if the ring had possibly been turned in, and if not, was there another we could buy. Ali (sp?) the store manager said no it hadn't but told me she would mail a replacement out at no charge. Knowing that it being lost was most certainly my own fault, I said we would pay for it to which she replied no she wanted to send it no charge. So not only a really cool little store with great staff, their after sales customer care was outstanding. Where do you ever get that kind of service?
