I love how the 124 St. district is shaping up into a coffee, art, boutique and restaurant mini-mecca. Shades of grey is located just around the Jasper/124 St. bend, near Matahari, Yo Mamma and a handful of other trendy shops and eateries. If you like to wear more unique brands, this store carries lines from New York and L.A., including Line & Dot, Anlo and Yumi Kim. The quality is fantastic - luscious, cozy, elegant fabrics and designs - sexy & sophisticated, inspired by more than a hint of Paris, and most of the pricing is reasonable, although there are a few higher-end price tags about the store. The next time I need a little retail therapy, I'm there - no shades of grey about it.

I ended up purchasing a gorgeous little change purse after drooling over dozens and dozens of items.

I have this really bad habit of buying something every time I go in - but how can I resist such lovely things? You can find purses here at many price points: e.g. Big Buddha (nice vegan bags) starting at around $80-ish, Christopher Kon (a montreal designer) at around $340-ish, as well as Kenneth Cole, Matt by Matt & Nat, etc. Also lots of jewelry at very reasonable prices: e.g. harriet grey, Betsy Johnson, kiko (a local designer). They also carry shoes, but I have yet to purchase those. The girls are very pleasant and friendly - I always enjoy shopping here and have warm fuzzy feelings by the time I leave the store (or it could just be the new purse/necklace/earrings I've just purchased....)

Anyways, in my pursuit of finding a reasonably priced dress to wear to a wedding, I decided to check it out again. And boy, was I impressed! I guess I caught the start of their 50% sale sale... because there was a TON left and it was all SUPER cheap. Lots of great brands - Dex, Supertrash, S. Oliver, Kensie, etc... And it was funny how some great quality clothing that isn't necessarily popular in North America was the cheapest! I got an S. Oliver blouse for $12... which is insane, since they retail for around $60 in Europe. And Supertrash jeans for $15 (I had actually never heard of the brand before, but looked it up when I got home and I guess they're $150 jeans? nice!) They also seem to get a lot of unsold stuff from local stores - I saw American Eagle jewellery, shoes, and bags as well as Urban Outfitters jewellery. There is definitely some digging involved in this store (think thrifting), but it can be quite worth your time.

Located just south of the Edmonton city cemetery and literally behind (north) of Oliver Square. It can be a little tricky to find the first time. I have friends that have found some fabulous treasures here in the clothing liquidations but I haven't found that hidden Easter Egg yet. The layout is kinda like a thrift store but way less organized. You need time when you come here to sort and sift through the garbage to find the gems. Also, sign up for their email online for advance notice of sales and coupons. It's a fun little liquidation warehouse but it could be improved significantly with better organization and layout.

I LOVE THE BOOKSTORE…read more They have everything. Office supplies (my weakness), gifts (both UofA themed and not, in varying levels of tackiness), a decent selection of cards, a pharmacy (with my favourite pharmacist)... oh, and books too. I can spend a lot of time wandering around in here, choosing notebooks and pens. Lately their selection of whiteboard markers has been pretty bad though (if you care about that). The best item they've ever sold? The Butterdome butter dish. Apparently other people don't agree with me though... they've got a big stack on for $1 and they still can't seem to get rid of them.

If you're a U of A student, or were one in the past, you probably hate this place. It's where you…read morehad to endure incredibly long line-ups just to give the university more of your money. Been there, done that. And now I'm here to say, it's not all that bad. I still think that the U of A is like every other college bookstore, and hikes up textbook prices disgustingly high. Photocopied course packages can also be just as expensive, only you're not getting the book covers with it. C'mon, you can't tell me copyright is that high right now. I'll let you in on a secret: I was a total advocate of getting the books from the library and photocopying them myself. Saved me loads of money. After all, we're students, not bank accounts. So the infamous bookstore (also housing the Microstore and Health Sciences bookstore) is located on the lower level. The entire store is pretty big, with a students pharmacy and gifts section on the main upper level. Practically everything has the U of A crest of course -- men and women's clothing, mugs, clocks, pens and stationary supplies, backpacks ... the list goes on. They also have fun gift items like jewelry, stuffed animals and dolls, and some Christmas decorations. I also saw a rack of winter Crocs. Yes, that's right, winter Crocs. They're pretty much the same as the regular version, only they're lined with fleece so that they're actually slippers. Oh my god, will the Crocs never end? These hideous things keep popping up everywhere. It's like they know they can't survive past summer so they have to figure out a way to haunt us in the winter too. I'm glad I no longer have to worry about buying textbooks, cause they really are expensive. I can just come here now to pick up neat little gift items, or U of A memorabilia, when I'm on campus and have nothing to do. Unlike the books, the rest of the merchandise is reasonably priced.

We procrastinated and left grad dress shopping to the last minute. It's just really…read moreoverwhelming... how do you decide which of the many dress shops to walk into!? We took a chance on Sara's and I'm so glad we did. It was the second store we went to. We walked in on May 19th, with Grad coming up on June 7th. The saleslady acknowledged that it was a tight timeline, but wasn't worried. She explained the layout of the store and let us look around for a few minutes. She was incredibly helpful with pulling dresses and getting them done up. We found THE dress quite easily. It was only the second or third one that was tried on, but there was no interest in anything else after that. They had the correct size/colour combo in their warehouse and said it would be in in a week. So, back we went on May 24th to try on the dress again. The seamstress was standing by to make note of what we wanted done, and made a few suggestions. I was worried but she assured me that the dress would be ready by June 5th and it would be perfect. She was right. It was absolutely stunning. It fit perfect and the alterations were amazing. The dress was $525 and the alterations were $189, but hey... you only graduate once! I would definitely recommend this store to others. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Side note... on one of our visits to the store, there was a lady there trying on dresses for her wedding. She was probably in her 40s or 50s and mentioned that this was her 3rd wedding. The staff gushed over her like they would any young bride and helped her find the dress of her dreams. It was so heartwarming to watch.
