I've noticed a handful of one-star reviews mentioning the owner is rude. That is disappointing…read more I love shopping here. The owner is an eclectic lady who has created such a unique store with wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling treasures. I've shopped here for years and always find a cool or unique scarf for myself or gifts for friends and their children. Everyone loves them! Should the one-star reviewers check themselves? Maybe. I am grateful to have a special store like this to pop into and I know I will always leave with something beautiful.

I came to the smaller store the other day with my daughter which is on the dock and had a wonderful…read moreexperience. The woman working the counter was so kind and friendly. My daughter loved the store. I purchased something. We came back to eat near there and I went down to look again, store was closed but mentioned the one up the street. So again I brought my daughter. She loved some cat ears so she was holding them til we were ready to buy. I even said don't let us walk out without paying, as the store has a lot going on and I didn't want to forget. We went to the other side I noticed the woman behind the counter (not the one from the other day) had just happened to come up there and was looking around. My daughter found a purse she wanted to match the ears but before we could go swap the ears, the woman asked me and ONLY me, "was I done yet" I said no I'm not she proceeded to say "okay well I'll hold those behind the counter till you're ready". Are you kidding me? The ears were $5 the purse was $15. This is not "valuables". It rubbed me the wrong way completely and if my daughter wasn't so happy with them, I would have left the stuff and walked out. It left a bad taste in my mouth. You implying I would, what, steal? In front of my 5 year old daughter? Really disappointing.

Looking for casual elegance? A different "look", one with flair, and yet with classic "bones"?…read more Check out Baden Baden, a clothing store with a distinct difference. I often feel that the lines on sale here have been hand-picked, just for my lifestyle. There is a country influence, one that "fits" the everyday experience, and also dramatic choices for evening events. The Victoria location joined with the Sidney store, and you will be glad you traveled out here, or caught the ferry, to choose your next special clothing choice. Worth it!

I heard her tell a customer the lines on a top she had tried on were wrong for her body type. She brought a different top and wow what a difference. From frumpy to elegant. The fashions are surprisingly forward, too. I bought jeans two years ago there I saw this year in a Neiman's catalogue. A great experience. Go.
