I'm torn about Aritzia. I really like some of their clothes and some of them, not so much. And…read morethe ones i do like are so overpriced! Some of their sales items are decent but I don't understand why they charge so much in the first place. $40 for a t-shirt? Really?! I could understand (but not condone) it if Aritzia was a big, prestigious brand name, but they're not. I like the way the store is set up. It's pretty practical and easy to navigate. I don't like how they make you put your stuff in lockers when you try stuff on though. I realize that it probably prevents any kind of shoplifting but it's just inconvenient and, let's be honest, weird. Aritzia is OK. It's not my favorite store but I will stop in to browse every once in awhile.

Out of all the Aritzia's in edmonton, this one is my favorite. The girls here seem to be the…read morefriendliest and most willing to help even if you only have one item in your hand. One girl in particular at this location named Hannah was an absolute angel! I pulled lots of items myself and she added some to my dressing room as well. I didn't feel that need to up-sale pressure from her, it felt like she was genuinely showing me pieces I may have missed myself or that she thought I would like. I was also grateful because she was super helpful with putting items on hold for my mom to go pick up later as my birthday gift! Sadly there was one piece I couldn't find in the store so she wrote it down and mentioned to my mom how they could special order it to the store so I could pick it up once it arrived in the store. Of course, my mom thought that was a great idea and went forward with it and stuck the receipt I needed in the gift bag along with everything else. Well later we got the email stating it had arrived and right away I drove all the way to the west end from Sherwood Park and I had forgotten the receipt I needed to pick up the shirt my mom had special ordered for me. I felt like a complete idiot but luckily the girls at the counter reassured me that if someone at home could send me a picture of it that would be totally acceptable as well. So in the end I got everything I wanted and had an excellent experience at this location. Once again I just want to say thank you to Hannah for all the help she gave me! So if you ever want to be truly spoiled by customer service in Artizia, make sure to stop into this location!

It's definitely one of my favourite stores! They have very…read moreunique and interesting outfits! I especially like their selections of shirts and jackets.

Anthropologie is one of my favourite stores in West Ed! I mean where else can you go to find…read moreclothing, decor, housewares, toys and books in one spot? The store makes me feel like I've walked into some wealthy lady's dressing room. Clothes everywhere. Lingerie everywhere. Decorations everywhere. Kids toys. Housewares. Every time I go in I just want to lounge on the settee and have my servants cater to my every whim. OK, back to reality. As mentioned, Anthropologie is a hodge podge (I mean that in a good way) of clothing, decor and books. The clothes can be a bit over the top but the closer you look the more likely you'll find something of interest. The cool thing is they also have kids toys and housewares. It's almost a one stop shop. Another dose of reality is their prices. They're on the high side, but like many things in life you get what you pay for. Often times you can find the decor items at a better price, but by the time you find (if you even do) you'll likely have spend that much in time and effort. If you have eclectic tastes go here and have a feast of eye candy.

Having shopped many an Anthropologie in the States, this location doesn't seem to fit their…read morestandards, probably because it is stuck in a lightless, stuffy mall.

I have never once found something I did not want to buy from Harry Rosen, which can be a problem as…read moreeverything is pricey in the store. That being said, the sales associates are extremely friendly and will go to any lengths necessary to find the right size, even phoning other stores and getting it shipping to their location for your pick up at no extra cost. They have something for everyone in the store, granted you're willing to burn a hole in your bank account- I guess that's why the customer service is so good. They have all the high end brands from Hugo Boss to Gucci to Lacoste to Salvatore Ferragamo to Fred Perry and other higher end designer clothing. If you something that is not quite your size, then their in-house tailer is brought up right away and tailored to your exact measurements. I remember the original Harry Rosen when it was just one small unit. Now it has expanded to three store lengths and offers a wide variety of suits, dress shirts, ties, dress and casual shoes, and also casual (but still high end) clothing. The service sets the standard for high-end clothing in West Edmonton Mall.

Floc Boutique is the newest addition to the urban shopping district on 124 Street and Jasper…read moreAvenue. They cater to the style of the urban working woman, carrying items from professional business attire to formal evening wear. Everything is exquisite and beautiful, and it's also reflected in the price. If I were the average customer there though (i.e. a more mature woman with an established career), I suppose I would be able to afford it. They also carry jewelry, shoes, bags, and accessories like belts and hosiery. You'll be able to put together a whole outfit or two for work at one shop!

Floc is a great store for urban and stylish women. There is a fair bit of wear to work clothing as…read morewell as items for that cocktail after work. They also usually have cocktail and longer dresses as well as shoes, jackets and accessories. I love this shop, I just can't afford much in it! They do have some very reasonably priced jackets though and their shoes tend to be affordable. Everything in here is beautiful, very tailored and of the moment. I really love their jeans and found a really cool black pair of skinny jeans with black shiny accents of leather on the back pockets. Now I just have to save some pennies so I can go back and get them! Thankfully they are very good about putting items on hold.

The store manager Alona completely contradicted the terms and conditions of the receipt. I had an…read moreexchange 2 months past the purchase date and drove 3 hours to the closest H&M to exchange (which I was purchasing quite a lot over the $ value of the return). She kept insisting it was her decision to decline the exchange, although the receipt clearly states store credit or exchange past 30 days. I wasn't mad until she decided to answer the phone whilst I was explaining I already knew the terms of returns and exchanges. If the area team reads this message, I strongly recommend you connect with her on how to appropriately address customer complaints and maybe let her read the back of the receipt so she knows what hill to make a stand on. Absolutely abhorrent service.

I wear plus size clothes (usually 16-18 depending on the store and brand) and like a lot of stores…read more(see my review for Simons) I didn't think H&M had a plus size section. Apparently they do, and my friend and I went to the H&M in West Ed because we figured the store and selection would be better than South Common. There isn't a huge selection of plus size clothes, but there is a bit, and H&M always has nice basics and trendy pieces too. One thing I love about H&M, no matter what dress size you might be, is the accessories. There are a lot of fun jewellery, purses, scarves, etc and the prices being pretty low it's pretty easy to go overboard and buy quite a bit. Of course the prices being so low this isn't exactly high quality long lasting items, but I tend to break, lose, rip, tear, etc. any accessories I get anyway so spending $12 on a scarf that I'll eventually lose at H&M seems better than spending $100 for a high-end scarf somewhere else. Aside from clothes and accessories the other thing H&M has that I didn't realize they carried are home decor products. This section isn't as big as the regular clothing and accessory section, but there are a variety of fun home decor items you can get, from bedspreads to aprons. West Ed isn't a place I particualrly like to go to, but if I'm here I'll check out H&M again.

If you are older this stuff is pretty stylish. The clothing can only be pulled off if you are older, you might look ridiculous other wise.

They carry a wide selection of outdoor gear, and you'll like this if you have an active lifestyle, especially during the winter. I always feel warm with the goose down jackets or fleece hoodies. The material they use is exception and feels durable. That being said, I find all their sizes to be quite large. Even if I take their smallest size, their shirts or sweaters feel loose on me. Sometimes though, you have to choose practicality over fashion. They also tend to have a lot of inventory left over for their seasonal clearance sale, so it's a very opportune time to get something then. I like the sales staff here. They are very friendly and have no hesitations for letting you take you time to try on different clothes. I feel like the price I pay for their clothing translates to good service at the store.
