Riley answered the phone and gave me a quick review of what they had in store and made me realize I better stop in. When I got there, she helped me find the perfect pair. Although they were a half size bigger than what I would have ordered and a different color than I had in mind, they ended up being the perfect Sorel wedge sandal and now I'm obsessed. I also was able to use my 30% off bday coupon, which you can use pretty much everything (excludes Birkenstock and another prestige brand I can't think of). What a great deal! Riley also told me I could "double dip" and head over to Sunshine and Bluebirds (right next door). That's where I found more of the Teleties hair clips. These are so great because they lay flat, which omits the uncomfortable feeling of driving with a clip on the back of your head. Brittany who was working at the store, was beyond friendly and easy to talk to. The customer service alone makes me want to go back to both Research and Design & Sunshine and Bluebirds. Pro tip: add yourself to your mailing list and enter your birthday. You'll get a 30% coupon that I can use at both stores.

Let me make myself Claire's about this…read more This is one of my favorite stores in Buffalo and this particular one is located at the mall in Amherst and has a little bit of everything. Does often get a little busy because this is still a fairly popular Mall and this particular location is definitely one of the coolest spots to stop when you're in the Boulevard Mall, and they're pretty cheap as well as well which is good. One of my fave stores in the mall, as is the one down at McKinley which I was also in recently.

Chock full of all sorts of fun accessories. Floor to ceiling racks and things to see. If you…read morehave a specific thing in mind ask, they can point you to the right area of the store. They have some super fun cell phone cases. If I didn't love mine I might have gotten creative here. Also a wide selection nail polish and fake nails. I come here for hair accessories and they have plenty of those too. This is in the middle of the mall near the Dicks store.

I prefer Spainescas and Portugalescas, but this place is okay…read more There's usually some cute stuff in Francie's, if you like to look classy but not too show offy. For this reason Barbie doesn't like the store (she's a show offy b****) but I usually think they have some nice stuff - especially if you're buying it for your sister and your mother or something. Probably the best location in the area - the other one that I've been to in this area didn't have it going on but this place does. Nobody has been in here on either occasion that I went in here except for the sales associate. I hope they're doing okay for sales.

When someone can't contact me they say oh you must have been at Gabe's lol. I usually won't answer my phone when I'm shopping. Bought a pair of sandals a pair of pants a pack of underwear and four shirts for $40 just last week. Thank you gabes for having affordable prices. Even plus sized people can find nice things here. I've been losing weight and have been switching sizes quite frequently the low prices at the store has abled me to do this. Thank you Gabe's.

I've had mixed experiences when shopping here, but it's definitely a solid four. Let's face it;…read morewhen you're shopping at Gabe's, you don't expect boutique service. You expect great prices, a huge selection, and sometimes a bit of a mess. As long as you keep your expectations in check, you will not be disappointed. One of the things you may not realize is that they have a wheelchair to use in the store if you've got someone with you in need. My 87-year-old mom gets along with a walker most of the time, but this store is pretty big and it's easy to get worn out at that age, so we sometimes use their walker when we are there. if you're looking for great brands at amazing prices, you've got to check out Gabe's. Even my picky husband was impressed by their really large selection of high-vis jackets and shirts. There's a really great plus-sized section, a huge selection of outerwear, and a lot of really great clothes for kids, men, and ladies. I'm pretty sure the teens/juniors have their own section too. Some of the brands I've seen if you're looking - NFL (Go Bills!), Guess, Buffalo Outdoors, Ariat, Yellowstone. There are tons of great shoes, too, if you're looking for brand names at cheaper prices. One tip when shopping here - go when you've got the time to really look. Give yourself a solid 90 minutes if you want to find some fantastic bargains. Then when you're done, walk next door to Ollie's to complete your bargain shopping outing.

Make sure you download the app to earn points (1 point per penny spent). The store has a nice layout. It's easy to see your options and to know most sale prices. The staff will help you if you have any confusion too. There's tons of men's clothes, less women's clothes but still a decent selection. And they're really cute clothes, with brands like Tru Religion and Ed Hardy. The style is more for an older teen/ younger adult, or an older adult that has a hip sort of skater vibe. I'm turning 40 and although crop tops (this was almost all the women's tops) and wide leg jeans aren't flattering for my figure (heck, I would rock them if I could!) I was still able to find a cute matching Tru Religion fitted tee and lounge pants for myself. My son got all of his clothes here. He was so happy with the stuff he got! And it put a smile on my face to see him excited for his back to school gear - no mom influence, just his own style! In addition to clothing and accessories, they have skate decks, super cute rollerskates, stickers/decals, etc. There are 2 fitting rooms. Staff was very very friendly and so helpful! Clothing is very good quality! I could tell by the feel of everything their clothes are built to last. Even with my fitted tee ... I rarely buy them because I always find them so thin and cheap and look like crap after one wash ... but this one I picked was well-structured. It is hard to find good quality clothes these days; by design, companies are making everything with limited use. I found Zumies clothing brands to be of stellar quality, both men's and women's - and the price point being fair for such quality.
