How did Richmond end up with such a great boutique like this?!…read more As I stepped into the store, I knew this was going to be good. A simple and clean blue and white scheme, a large open space, a couple of racks of clothing, a simple artsy armchair, and Kelsi Dagger shoes! Their careful selection of clothing reflects in the brands that they choose: Covet, Something Else, Gentle Fawn, Spiewalk, Designers Remix, and a couple of other newly discovered brands today. Lots of cute tops and dresses, jeans, as well as a good collection of jackets. Oh, did I mention that they also carry Kelsi Dagger shoes (Pour La Victoire's sister line). They have jewlery by Blee Inara, which were very unique pieces. They only have one change room though, so it could sometimes be a bit of a wait. So happy that I discovered this shop! (And it's right next to Rocanini!)

I'm starting to shop and look into boutiques stores more now. Violet Hill did not disappoint. I was…read moregreeted right when I came in and felt free to browse with no coercion. The store was neatly organized and displayed everything to it's fullest potential. I loved the wall of bags and the small collection of shoes they had. The racks of dresses, tops, pants and sweaters were all very pretty and trendy but were on a slightly more expensive side, than I'm used to but that's boutique shopping right? However, touching the clothes, it definitely had quality in every piece. I was very tempted to buy a high-wasted rose pink flowy skirt for $56 but I stopped the little shopping devil inside me. I loved the very dainty and unique jewelry that adorned the shop as well - there was a feel for antique, aztec and modern jewelry scattered around the room. A very cute addition to Steveston.

A real hipster store, this family owned hot-spot is already making it's mark and it just opened…read more The sisters are now running their mo-and-pop shop that used to be an antique store. They carry high-end labels as BA&SH, Free People, and accessories by Sailor Jerry, In God We Trust, and Illume. Zuriick sneakers look hot on the boys and Free Worn tees are so Main Street! Silk tanks by Graham and Spencer are a bit pricey ($300 and over), but the Cheap Denim jeans are not too heavy on the wallet. If you like Valley of the Dolls on Main or Misch on Granville, even Lilly and Jae, you'll love this store.

Beautiful clothes! Ones that you won't find just anywhere…read more I'm not even an "OMG shoes" person, however when I saw a pair of Jeffrey Campbell leopard print pony hair flats with mini tassels, I thought vehemently to myself "I wawnt that!!!" They were also on sale, which added tremendously to their appeal. I also really appreciate when sales people are actually honest, in providing a second opinion when asked what looks best on my body for instance. Here. they are truly helpful, which always makes for a positive shopping experience, bringing me back every season... though only to peruse the small sales section at the back of the store. If I were to by some miracle win the lottery, my entire new and improved wardrobe would be predominantly garments from Vincent Park.

If you are a fan of fashion jewellery, fascinators and garden hats, this is the store for you…read more This great little store is my new faviourte store for all things bling and tea party. The staff are so very kind and the product is well worth the prices. They aren't overpriced but they aren't cheap either. I got a great blinged out, without being gaudy, headband and toe ring. They are so cute and just my style. I will definitely be back as my Mary Kay business allows me to have fabulous parties with fabulous hats and jewellery!

A most amazing store. This is where you come when you want sparkly earrings, gorgeous necklaces and…read moretiny thongs. Yes, from your top to your "bottom" you will find blingy fakes that sparkle like the real thing. Really, go big or go home with the shoulder-duster earrings, great for proms, and really spectacular necklaces, blindingly bright. Very small prices! For under $50CAD, you will have more sparkle than ever before. Good deals on undies, less than $8. for smooth thongs, tummy shapers for under knit dresses. and some of the cutest celebration dresses around. Dressed in Tyme is a bit of an odd duck, for sure, but take your "tyme" going through the store and find items that are far superior to the chain store's fabulous fakes. Looks a bit old lady-ish at first, but get in there and get "brightened" up! Located across from the Safeway inside the mall, downstairs from Blanche McDonald beauty school, 1.5 blocks from Canada Line Cambie Station.

They…read moredon't go for the free-range approach of Gravity Pope Tailored Goods or the perfect range of sizes at nearby Plum. Rather Lushuz offers a packed, secreted boutique feel being just a half-block west of where most Fourth Ave. shopping ends. I found lots of cute dresses here that I refused to try on, knowing that my credit cards are currently experiencing some swipe-burn. The shoe/boot selection is really limited. Finding something you like here in footwear will be pure chance. For party dresses, sparkling tops, and skirts with a unique cut, I'll definitely be making regular rounds at Lushuz in the future.

Along with a few pairs of high-end boots and shoes of great design, Lushuz carries some fabulous pieces from such labels as Only and a number of other trendy and up-to-the minute styles from International designers. This is the place to come for a bold cocktail dress in rich colours or even sequins, and jackets and coats in classic cuts and modern prints and materials. I'm still thinking about those boots...and that sequin dress! Now that will be a show-stopper!

However, after considerable research, including encountering, for example, exorbitant "cleaning fees" and other unfriendly contract terms at other stores, my search confirmed what I had really known all along: Dragon & Phoenix is a warm and friendly place full of warm and friendly people - people who want your side of the consignment relationship to be as rewarding as theirs. This store is a class act and a Kerrisdale gem.

There's an equal balance of trendy items (why, sequined argyle, why?) and more versatile pieces. When I was shopping for a very specific suit two years ago Plum was the only spot to deliver fit and meet the criteria. Plus it was on sale. The changing rooms at this location are clean and spacious: plenty of hooks and bench space. As an added bonus is that the mirrors are well-lit and flattering. I've always appreciated the friendliness of the staff here. They'll happily check for sizes at other locations, etc. and generally try to help.
