I know many people come in off the cruise ships to this area, and as an American myself let me suggest that a fine shirt, accessory, or even a full suit do make fantastic and practical souvenirs from your travels.

Tucked away in the forgotten quarters of Barrington Place, I tend to forget about its existence, but its longevity and steady clientele prove it to be downtown destination. Names like Cambridge, Jack Victor, Cutter & Buck, Nautica, Bugatchi, Lipson, Klauss Bochler and Michael Kors are amongst its flavourful offerings, and its all quite clear that quality is priority. Not a spot for my own taste, but I understand Cowell's appeal for the right man or woman. Heavy prices are to be expected, but the large stocking of apparel is enough to take your mind off the logistics. Outerwear, basics, formal dresses and accessories, Colwell's does it all with the utmost class, and is certainly a spot to try if you're looking to sport this niche.

Adam needed a shirt for the wedding we were attending over the weekend so when we saw this…read morestorefront we figured we would give it a try. We spent over an hour and half in there! The saleslady assisting us was very nice and patient. Adam must've tried on at least 2-3 different shirts and more than 5 ties. She was also nice enough to steam the shirt before wrapping it up. They have this cool policy in the store where you can try to put a hole in one mini golf style for $95 off a tie for $2 (and the money goes to charity!). Sadly, both Adam and I missed. But I enjoyed playing a lot! Mini put inside a store! I was surprised no one snubbed us as we did look very ordinary. I think once Adam specifically asked to try on a shirt, they loosened up and realized we were going to buy something. That's when they got friendlier and offered us drinks. But I really only liked the lady who helped us, the rest seemed unbothered and lazy.

Boys with no budget can get dressed up at Dugger's. From straight-up formal wear to sports coats…read moreand casual clothes, its a place that not only sells menswear, but knows it well. Great fits for all shapes-- because yes, men come in odd sizes as well-- the staff here are professionals and do not take retail lightly. Going into Duggers and doing serious shopping calls for full-on service in a kind and cordial manor. As I accompanied a male friend in recent months on a mission for a new jacket, I observed the service as very thorough and helpful. It wasn't about a simple assistance to the change room; these people are all about getting the right fix, giving brand detailing and all the extras. Those looking to get properly outfitted and not knowing where to start can rely on Dugger's. As well, its a fine place to browse. No pressure... I like this spot, as they've got some pretty spruced up threads. Pricey but spicy, this is a place to check if you are looking to be fine and fancy.

It doesn't hurt that they stock one of my favourite Canadian jewelry designers, as well as my 2nd love of life - Manitobah Moccasins. I own 3 pairs, I'm obsessed. Everything in the store is Canadian made, so no need to worry about spending your hard earned bucks on supporting local, because this store covers all those bases. Which brings me to the price. You're not going to walk in here and pick something up on a whim. No, you're going to carefully stock that very expensive coat, visit it often, until you just can't leave without it. Like how I'm going to do with that Biko necklace, earrings, bracelet.. you get the idea. I'm gonna creep the crap out of that jewelry until it finally comes home with me some payday Friday, when I carefully budget my pay cheque to cut out grocery shopping. So don't go in here thinking it's just another clothing store. You're paying for some Canadians dedication and hard work. You're supporting someone's passion and their dreams. I'd rather spend my money that way, I might end up spending more, but there is a different satisfaction with spending your money wisely. Plus the quality of products they sell here is top shelf!

I don't like to buy suits from bulk-barn type stores like Tip Top or Moors because their stuff is geared towards older people and doesn't stand out. Yet, like most people in Halifax, I can't always afford the exuberant prices of exclusive brands carried by stores like Duggers. The Suitor was the best of both worlds. I was able to find the modern look and style I was looking for, and the pricing was perfect! The store is owned and operated by a Master Tailor who provides custom fittings for anything you buy. I bought a Calvin Klein suit with a french-cuffed Sean John shirt. I didn't like how the shirt looked on me and wanted a more 'slim fit' look. He took my measurements and custom-fitted the shirt within 24 hours. This little hidden gem of a store works mainly on word of mouth and has been for several years now. They can custom make a suit for you in any style you desire. Regardless of your body type, if you like the look of a particular luxury brand (like a Hugo, Canali, or Zegna suit), bring a picture and they'll make a suit for you just like it... but for a fraction of the price!

When you first enter the store you'll find yourself faced with tables and tables of adorable nick nacks and homewares to browse though - so many cute mugs and beautiful candles! One day I dream that my home will be filled with them. They've also got journals, books, even a kids gift section. Further back you'll find clothing - men's is on the upper level and women's on the lower. They've also got a killer jewellery section (which is where I've found myself most often drooling over the rings and earrings). I never look closely at the clothing because I don't want to tempt myself (out of my price range), but just glancing at the racks I and tell there are a lot of cute things that I hear are really great quality. From the little bit of browsing I've done the sizes are all pretty small...whomp whomp. In the men's section you'll find wallets, shave kits and some really fun socks in addition to the standard clothing fare. Don't miss out on the back section behind the men's clothing where the sale stuff is! They've always got a good selection of sale things. I really love the idea of shopping at Biscuit General, but unless it's some of the smaller items I just don't have the budget for it. It can get very pricey very quickly. That being said if you have more room in your budget definitely give Biscuit General a shot - it's definitely a local gem!

Compared to other UO this one was pretty good! You know, in Halifax, we always get the 'Halifax'…read moreversion of things. As far as this UO goes, they did a great job. Two levels - girls on the first floor, guys clothing on the second. They have a large record section upstairs with the guys clothing. The housewares is a little sparse (also upstairs) which is disappointing because that's some of my favourite stuff UO sells. It might be a little smaller than other UO you've been into, but since it's downtown on Barrington I think they were able to scored a large feeling retail space. Today was opening day so the staff was really friendly, and a little chaotic, but that's understandable. I'm sure in a couple weeks it will clam down.

Again the quality of the material is fabulous as it is something that will not show its washing as it is made with a quality product.

The Lost Cod is a fantastic idea for Halifax, and it could work in any city. The logos from old Halifax and Nova Scotia companies are freshened up and can be applied to shirts and hoodies. The price is reasonable, the clothing's good quality, and the worst part is that you can't fit all of the old-timey business logos on just one shirt.

Although I did wish they had a few more V necks to choose from. I went to the shop that was on the Harbourfront Boardwalk, i'd love to check out their Queen's Landing location someday too. I also purchased a couple of awesome stickers with some classic Nova Scotia and Halifax in particular logos. They even threw one in on the house.

Learning the ways of retail, his cuteness is the perfect way to begin this endeavor. What a sweet little shop. Although its been open for about ten years, I'd only recently learned of Wildflower from an acquaintance. Its confines are currently dressed in soft, breathable garments and assuring color palates. (Periwinkle, charcoal, rose pink, nude, and flecks of colour amongst it all!) Its actually a breath of fresh air, and a different variety from other independent boutiques in the area. I was elated to discover the accumulation of Free People frocks, which is probably my favorite [semi] affordable brand of all time. The owner mentioned that they would be getting more in soon-- whoo hoo! The overall stock seems romantic, flowing, and of excellent taste. Cute tops, rich fabrics and cuts are here for the taking. I think its safe to say that Wildflower has Bohemian Romantic down. The owner of the shop offered me genuine conversation and an easy shopping experience. I was the only patron at the time, so we chatted as I browsed. There was no pressure, no facade-- just good conversation and a shop full of wonders. After much swooning and chit-chat, I know this is a boutique I can dig. Besides the clothes, there were also some pretty neat accessories. I'd say the owner of Wildflower has a great eye. Understated, funky, classic and bohemian looks are all fused into one cohesive collection. All you need is a paycheck. xo
