And I must disagree with the reviewer who said "the owner/manager has a very difficult time being friendly." My dearly departed mother-in-law and I used to shop there often and we had no such experience. Of course, we were friendly types ourselves. I am still wearing a fashionable Bettina Riedel (New York) outfit I bought nearly 20 years ago and it washes and wears amazingly well. I have never been sorry for any item I bought there for myself or as gifts for others; the slightly higher prices has paid off in the long run. At Herlihy's you got what you paid for. Now that my husband and I are shopping more in public (after pandemic isolation) we were headed to Florence to shop when we discovered online that it is "temporarily closed." I hope it will indeed reopen this month as indicated elsewhere online. And how I wish the owner would consider a shop in the Berkshires!

Excellent. However I did need help and put myself in the hands of the very capable salesperson. She suggested a dress I would never had glanced at if left to my own devices. At my request she gave me a couple of ideas for accessories. Voila! I looked fabulous! Who knew? I give only 4 stars because I think someone under 30 or 40 may not find much at this store. But as I am north of 50 the more mature styles are just what I was seeking. Let the kids show their muffin tops if they so desire, I'd rather not. These are clothes designed to complement a real life woman's body. If you're a skinny-mini size 2, go elsewhere. Mid range prices, not *cheap. But good quality merchandise and the buyer definitely understands her customer base. I will definitely return soon. Great colors, flowy styles. Really nice scarves and jewelry, too.

I came here looking for a pair of winter boots and was very pleased to find a wide selection of…read morehigh quality boots, and a sale that meant I ended up paying far less than sticker price. The young woman working here was attentive, friendly, and helpful. She did not pressure me into buying anything, yet she let me know that she was there to help if I needed it. She was a good listener and was able to show me several boot options that fit my criteria. There was another woman shopping in the store, and the employee did a great job of helping both of us simultaneously without getting overwhelmed or neglecting either customer. After I chose a pair of boots, she offered to take them outside and spray them down with extra waterproofing sealant, free of charge. I am very impressed with the level of care given to customers at this store. I ended up with a pair of Rieker boots that I am extremely happy with. Warm, insulated, breathable, comfortable, waterproof, sturdy. I know these boots will hold up for several winters. I could not recommend this store enough. *Note: to those who have given this store bad reviews due to poor service during a sidewalk sale, I would offer the idea that the Northampton sidewalk sales are extremely overcrowded and chaotic. I cannot imagine any store offering their normal level of customer service during one of these madhouse shopping events. You are much better off visiting this store during a normal, quiet business day.

Although some items were more costly than what I was willing to pay, I loved the simple design of certain tank tops and long sleeves to the intricate dressed and crop tops.

If it weren't already having stocked the area behind their desk with a pile of clothes already, we would have bought so much more. Quality seems great so I can't wait to wear our the forest green school girl skirt, deep red rose tops, and few workout shirts I purchased. Would love to come to this store again the next time I'm in the area!

Leans a little young, but I always find something I like there! The owner is also very nice. Last time I was there I had a bad experience unfortunately. I rushed over after work and was told they closed in 5 minutes. I knew I was cutting it close to closing but I knew exactly what I wanted and where it was in the store. However, I noticed the associate watching me closely as I looked for my size and I didn't want to be THAT person keeping her late, so I left without buying anything. I went to another store and then back to my car- which is when I noticed it was 5:55. The point being the associate at 25 Central rushed me out when I could have had time to find my size and make a purchase well before 6pm when they closed that day. I ended up driving to Hadley and buying a shirt at a big chain store- which is what I was trying to avoid! Maybe this is me getting old and grumpy, but I'm frustrated by how places like this don't serve the average working person. Most people work until 5:30, which gives very little time to get in and out of a store. On top of that, I actually did have time to shop and leave before closing, but was pressured to leave. If the owner reads these, I hope they are open to this feedback!

This is the tale of my search for the perfect wedding dress…read more I have been literally everywhere. A sleazy chain store, and few others, but I didnt find the one on one personal attention that Stylez for the Aisle has. The owner, Nina, is hillarious! Not only did she help me find the perfect dress, she is extremely honest and really funny! We had each other laughing the entire time I was there. It was a really nice break from the stuffy reception that I've had elsewhere. Nina has great taste, and she was able to hone in on my perfect dress in less than 10 dresses. I know that sounds like alot, but I am super indecisive. My fault! Seriously, the first dress she helped me pick out was the one that I am wearing for my wedding. Of course, I wanted to try on everything in her store!! I couldn't pick just one, because she had so many gorgeous dresses. I think the best part of my experience (besides the fact that she should do stand-up!) is the fact that she has dresses at her shop that I didnt see in every other place I had been to. 20 stars!!!

It was very "typical longmeadow." There were some women in the check out like in front of me who were clearly spending a lot more money than I was, and that resulted in me waiting over 10 minutes to pay because the women behind the counter were chit chatting about their personal lives. I wasn't greeted, I wasn't told "be right with you," and even when I stepped up to the counter to pay neither woman said a word to me. I've never felt so unwelcome in a store before. The clothes are amazing, I only wished the service matched, and that those of us who might only be spending $30 felt welcome as well.

Not walking in with intentions of buying anything I found myself walking out with a nice pair of running shoes. What was nice about this place and really the reason why I am writing a review is the people in the shop were kind enough to toss me a $10 discount on them! I almost wanted to buy a pair of dress shoes too but I will save that for another trip. The store is small in size compared to stores you see in the mall but large in footwear inventory. The workers greet you and assist you with anything you have questions about. If there is something specific that you are looking for and you do not se it they have an abundance of catalogs that you can order from (which is what my friend did in this instance). I would recommend checking this place out before you spend your hard earned money in a big box store.

OR a speciality store????? I have received better service at much lower end stores. You can find the same brand they have there on line, but cheaper. Shop the specific brand you like from there and get a coupon on line. That's what we did, after working with a salesperson that was way too into judging the way I was dressed, we wrote down the brand, googled it, went on line and got a 20% coupon off for first time buyers. Also, the clothing is VERY OLD LADY. I will never return due to the service and bad energy in the space and tell others the same.
