Uptown Cheapskate opened one year ago today in my neighborhood. My friend Jose DJ'd the celebration…read moreand advertised the event on IG. I arrived a few minutes early the day of the event and was the first to receive a gift bag (first 20 customers) which included a mini bundt cake, a 20% off store coupon and a few other discounts to local businesses. I spent roughly 30 minutes looking at clothes and shoes. Winnie saw me carrying around three pairs of jeans and asked if she could put them in a dressing room for me while I continued shopping. Yes please! I wish all stores offered this type of service;) I tried on many items and decided to buy two pants and three shirts. My bill was roughly $45. Be sure to bring your own shopping bag as do not offer them. And sign up for rewards so you earn credits and an annual birthday coupon. I will absolutely be coming back to Uptown Cheapskate!

I have a friend that loves, loves, loves Uptown Cheapskate- so I popped in to see if I could find…read moresomething fun. I roamed the packed aisles- looked at colors, fabrics, styles, brands, pricing. Gathered a handful of items to go try on and found a super cute plaid skirt to snag. I almost grabbed a pair of blue corduroy pants, but they were a shade snug. Staff is amazing- I was greeted and checked on several times. Store was fairly busy too- always a good sign.

Another new place for us. Found it on yelp and the menu looked like what we wanted-clean, lite…read morefood-wraps, bowls, etc. The server was very helpful. We chose bowls. I am sure there may have been more on there than I am remembering. It was black beans and rice, wonderful avocado, lots of fresh cilantro, and protein of choice. I chose grilled shrimp-Marty chose chicken. These were served in compostable dishes. Everything was delicious. The only thing we noted is while our meat tasted great-it was barely warm. Maybe that is the norm? It was cooked-no doubt there and very tasty. I would go back. The place is very clean and because of the art murals and plants you get that outside kind of feel.

LOVE this boutique! I was visiting Jacksonville this weekend, and visited little Five Points for…read morethe great shopping. My fav thing about Crave...you know all those great labels you see in magazines, but can never find? So many of them under one roof! There was a huge selection of William Rast, James, Siwy, Prvcy, Genetic & more. There was a really great mix of both trendy & casual pieces, sexy cocktail dresses by BCBG, classic separates, and the best selection (& prices!) of Gypsy 05 I've seen outside of LA. This was my first experience in a boutique where, instead of being marginally acknowledged by the staff, I felt like I had a personal shopper instead. The owner, Robin, helped me find two amazing pairs of jeans based on my body type & style (William Rast's Bella Flare and Prvcy dark-wash skinny jeans). I even got my wedding dress here ;) I found a beautiful BCBG fitted white halter dress for our impromptu beach ceremony - it looks gorgeous in the photos, and the best part is, I can wear it again, dress it up, dress it down.... And I picked up a great Sir Alistair Rai scarf that is going to carry me into fall. I totally agree with Cari S's review...the jewelry was to die for. By Boe, Melinda Maria, Alex & Ani, and some fantastic pieces by a NYC designer under the label Boheme. Even my husband, who generally doesn't enjoy shopping, found some great pieces for himself a couple of great English Laundry shirts & some- the men's wear is really thoughtfully chosen IMO - cool and unique, but not over-the-top trendy. And there was a great "small" gifts section with candles, perfume, soaps, etc. Overall, amazing selection - have already marked some pieces for fall to order online!

The city really gets behind you, but won't rip to shreds if you suck like Philly would. I'm really a sucker for passion, and people in Jax have a fiery passion for their Jaguars. When people ooze passion about something, it gets me passionate. So when my girlfriend showed me this 904 Pop Up shop that sold vintage jags gear, I was excited to get a potential piece. For context, ever since Cam Newton retired, I am an NFL team free agent so it isn't cheating if I got a shirt. I ended up finding the SICKEST vintage jags long sleeve black shirt that has teal flames going around the logo. It reminds me of a vintage Harley Davidson T. I was obsessed, I had to cop. It's going to get Kareem minutes... I hope it's ready... DUUUUUUUUUUUUVAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLL! IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

My daughter needed a prom dress and we went to this store which is located inside the Avenues…read moreMall.. The owner and her assistant were both very professional and helpful. I understand the policy that the owners would rather help the customer in trying on the formal gowns because some of them are quite difficult and challenging to put on. My daughter tried a few gowns. The owner was not pushy at all, and in fact, she is so sweet and understanding of what a customer wants. I just don't understand some of the bad reviews here because the owner just struck me as the nicest and one of the most patient salesperson I've dealt with. She was very helpful and supportive to my teenage daughter. We didn't feel rushed. By the way, we also went to the gowns store across the hallway which was a complete opposite of Clelia's (that store across the hallway was so pushy and we felt rushed). Would definitely get our formal dresses thru Clelias from now on. Just very good customer service and the dresses/gowns are also beautiful and reasonably priced.

Came in to find a dress for my wedding, keep in mind i was not looking for a traditional wedding…read moredress and was looking in the clearance rack. I found a beautiful dress within budget, that even if it was too large/too small i would make alterations at home. I walked up to one of the sales associates who didn't even bother to say anything to me when i walked up and asked to try to dress on. She proceeds to lead me to the dressing room when another woman basically stops me and asks what the size of the dress is, i tell her "10 i think!" (it was actually a size 12 the tag was marked wrong) This woman. Then proceeds to look me up and down and goes "it'll be too small but i guess you can still try it on" Immediately i knew i wouldn't be purchasing anything from them, but i tried the dress on anyways to see if i liked the style and cut so i could purchase it somewhere else. Which i did! it was an amazing dress i'll just find the same one elsewhere for sure. But as im walking out from trying it on, the lady walks up and goes " awe didn't fit huh?" never in my life have i been treated this way at a store. I am not plus sized im a medium/large in most stores, but clearly that is considered plus size to them. I highly recommend NOT going to this store. The customer service is awful. (And everything is over priced anyways)
