I have now been in the mall for a few years I know this for a fact but I still love this store very much. They offer Birkenstock sandals Not many places carry them around. They Also have a great selection of doc martens... yes I love shoes! They do offer a lot more than shoes. They have everything from swimwear to professional business wear. I don't even know if professional business where is actually a thing but you know clothing for a businessman and businesswoman. They carry their own brand that is name Twik, I really like it. They carry clothing for almost every style. I consider myself to be either very bohemian or very sporty. Two very different style but the offer both of those. Clothing can be pricey but they always have a discount rack in every section.

Schad and Schad Blu are 2 stores that carry some of the better fashions and threads in this city…read morefor men and women. I'm glad Ottawa has some clothing stores with styles outside the GAP, AE, Old Navy, etc. Not that there's anything wrong with those stores but they're pretty boring. Schad carries a nice balance of North American and European brands. The unfortunate thing about some of the North American brands is that they've been run into the ground since the Jersey Shore phenomenon! Brands like Ed Hardy and Affliction are carried here and unfortunately Dom Rebel (based out of Montreal) has been styling a lot of shirts like them recently. Some of the other brands that I'm glad they have include Diesel, Energie, Sand and J Lindeberg. It's not for everyone but I do get complimented regularly. I believe there is a slight mark up on these brands compared to some of the other stores I've been in that carry these lines in Toronto and Montreal but it's not that much and the store owner and the staff are super friendly and super helpful. To get an idea, Chantel (the store owner) once tried on a dress for me that I was purchasing for a friend to give me an idea of what it would look like while being worn! That's pretty damn awesome!

I have to say KellyRay is a fantastic women's boutique that you don't find many here in Ottawa…read more It's freshly opened by a local designer Kelly. Many styles are so unique that you won't find anywhere else in Ottawa. Because of their own design (not through whole sale in the supply chain), the price is so sound as well. I, as a man, was warmly welcomed into the store when I was looking for gifts for my wife. Bought quite a few including dresses and accessories, my wife loved them. Definitely will return and also recommend to my friends.

If something I was trying on didn't look good she told me so: She said I want to make sure you look your best and feel good carrying what you are wearing; not only it will bring you back but will bring your friends too. They are not into pressure selling. They seem to want to create long term relationships well they were successful with me I am a big fan. Thanks Cantas

Their clothes are hit or miss. In my opinion some pieces are really neat but some pieces are tacky or matronly. They have a clearance section upstairs which is a little messy but you can find some good deals. They had shoes made in Spain, Italy and Brazil (i.e. good quality leather) for like 70% off. The owner is super nice and she may sell you stuff for lower than the tagged price. Frou Frou is a cute little shop. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.
