I typically HATE shopping and I get overwhelmed in antique and thrift stores so it took me a few months of hearing about this store to finally make it in. Now it is my GO TO store for my own personal shopping, gifts and housewares. probably 70% of my clothes come from Penny Royalty. I can't find anything at Nordstrom that feels like it fits but I'll walk out of Penny Royalty with 5 new staples that feel like they were made for me. & that's not all! I have lamps, beautiful wine glasses, art, incredible jewelry, vintage copper trays, vases, hand poured candles in antique glass etc that adorn my home and make my house feel magical. Penny Royalty feels welcoming and kind of enchanting. It has changed my perspective on shopping and supporting local businesses because I always feel like I belong here. Nessa, the owner, is an amazing woman and she has an incredible eye and will help dress you and find the perfect pieces or gifts. Every time I'm in the shop there is a stream of people coming in and out just to see her and say "hi." I can't recommend this store enough. I've traveled around the world and been to a lot of cool places but I've never been into a store that is as curated as Penny Royalty. Its hard to imagine in Anchorage :) which is why you dont want to miss it when you're here!

I've shopped here many times in the past and attended a ladies evening with wine & hors d'oeuvres. I always find some sort of trinket, knickknack, chocolate bar or something of sorts to gift or add to me shelves. I have several small, lovely pieces in my home and have gifted a few others over the years. Some may find it to be a bit too eclectic at times, but I find that there is probably a little something for just about anyone.

But if you're like me and you like to be hands on before you make a purchase, then this is an ok place to scope out. I recently got some lingerie there that was more than half off, which was a steal. yay. full price would have been a rip. But I also got a toy, which was 30 bucks overpriced, so boo... but, it was, ahem... worth it. That's all i'm gonna say about that. They also redid the store about a year ago and it's much better organized and there's a lot more merch. They have a headshop section with "smoke" stuff downstairs. Some interesting things if you're into that. They had silicone bongs which I've never seen before. I don't know anything about that stuff, but it was kinda neat. They also have some funny weed related novelty items that would make nice gifts for the pothead in your life.... They made the clothing section downstairs smaller, which was a smart move. They've gotten more choosy with what they stock. Mostly all stuff for skinny bitches though. Boo. Upstairs, all the sex stuff. Again, mostly for skinny bitches, lots of gear for exotic dancers like wigs and costumes. Way less shoes than they used to have. Cindy's is still a better bet for people who are in the business of turning people on for a living. They have a very limited selection of costumes for men. Boo. Same for chubby chicks. But I found 4 things that I liked and fit, so yay, not a total loss. They have a variety of novelty items for pre-wedding festivities like penis straws and ice cube trays. There's a limited selection of sex toys... mostly just vibrators and cock rings. Some of their vibrators are the higher quality silicone stuff though. If you're into really hardcore fetish stuff, you're out of luck. The only place in town that has that stuff is Castle, and even their selection is limited (and no, I'm not into fetish stuff... but I figured some people might wanna know, so I'm including this in my review for their benefit.) So if you're looking for any kind of S&M, swings, clamps, pony play, double ended toys, etc, your best bet is online. They do have a few things, but it's novelty quality and not what a person with serious fetishes would invest in. But if you're the kind of person that has a light interest in toy play, then the Look is adequate.

My family wanted to take photos so I can remember and look back on the dresses I tried on, and the owner immediately told us pictures are not allowed. She explained she has had bad experiences of brides coming in just to find out the size and style they like, then going and purchasing elsewhere. I understand her point of view but that really rubbed me the wrong way as a customer. I wasn't able to remember any of the dresses I tried on, therefore I ended up purchasing my gown elsewhere. She also seemed to have a bad vibe. She mentioned that getting the "this is it" feeling isn't common then said only 80% of women experience it. The whole experience was off putting in my opinion.
