They have fantastic stuff! There was jackets, tops, glassware, jewelry, clutch bags and some really great huge handbags. I am not sure I can list everything that was here and the cloths were very trendy and classy. It was a cool store and a perfect place to pick out a gift. The two ladies that were there were really nice, they told us anything we saw, just let them know because they have other sizes. There was so much in this small space, I have to go back, I will definitely be telling people about this spot!

Well, this was my first time being in the shop to make a purchase. Experience was not what I have…read moreexpected. I walked in, knowing exactly what I wanted as I have checked out the items online. I just needed to figure out if it will fit me. I took the item off the shelf, and the assistant almost immediately came over to me, took the pull over, and said it will be in the changing room for you to fit on!!! I haven't even had the item in my hand for 2 minutes. I went to the changing room, please note there was a 7ft man standing at the door too, and I got undress/ dressed, and got out. when I got out of the fitting room the assistant once again said, Let me take that from you, it will be at the counter ready to pay... huh. I still didn't even have these items 2 minutes in my hands!!! when I got to the counter the cashier said, you can just tap your card!!! I will be honest I didn't enjoy this shopping experience at all, I felt like I was put on the spot, and I didn't even know what to make of this! The items I wanted, I got them, but you don't go to super store, and the cashier or assistant doesn't take the items out of your hands and put them at the counter when you are still busy shopping? no they don't, so why does these assistants do that? total amount was $218 for a 9 min shopping experience, it wasn't about the money, but you want to enjoy the experience of retail therapy, and this was not great. if you don't want customer to see, feel, and roam the store, then you should only have an online store!

Lululemon is definitely located in the right spot, right next to Mills on Spring Garden Rd…read more March Break is here and Lulu has the gear!, I know Corny! The first thing that hit me when I walked in was a wonderful sent of tangerine, at least I think that is what it was, the smell was heaven. This place was packed today, I know it was a combination of beautiful weather, Spring Garden and March Break. There was no sign of recession in this store. The line went from the cash right to the back of the store. I could not believe it. And no one was blinking an eye at the cost, $58.00 top, $130.00 jacket, $90.00 pants. I do think some people will choke on the prices, but I believe you will get great quality. Either that or half of Halifax has lost their minds, because I have never seen so many people in a store, and no sale going on. The styles and colours here are a step above the others you will find. They had some great selections. There was one jacket I thought was a pretty good price, the $130.00 Rain Jacket.

It's a one stop shop for groceries, wine, and java, boasting as well a few clothing shops and boutiques selling kitchen wares and fancy chocolates. The building itself is clean and airy, and a little more upscale, in comparison to other local mini-malls. A good place to grab a bite and do some shopping!

Absolutely ridiculous service would recommend going quite literally anywhere else for pharmacy…read moreservices. Pharmacists working July 23 evening lied to me multiple times and would not fill a prescription as promised, flip flopping between what seemed like made up reasons for a simple prescription not being filled. Pharmacists said at 2 times the order was ready for pickup, to which I went for pick up and simply had my time wasted, not to mention was treated as if we hadn't spoken multiple times and with a very bad attitude. Hard to believe how bad the service is here.

It should be noted that the best of treasures are often tucked away. And noticing the ground…read moreembedded placement of Fawcett's Fine Jewelry, I'm too curious not to enter. Nestled below a few steps off Spring Garden Road, this jewelry shop requires an extra glance to notice its there. The steps are deep, so be warned--I can see them being tricky for some. Visitors need to press the buzz to get inside, and its immediately obvious that this place isn't for tooting around. Teeny-tiny, but elegantly stated. The exposed brick wall and open workshop give Fawcett's its own hands-on personality. The goldsmith, Blaine, welcomed me kindly and was very helpful in giving me the shop scoop. While the show room displays mainly engagement rings, formal bands and the like, the business is built on custom designed jewelry. Everything is made right here in the shop, behind a wall divider, so as the goldsmith works, you can roam the shop and see him go. Its a different experience, and I liked it. The jewels are too rich for my blood, but maybe some day. Blaine mentioned that they were branching out with some newer and lower price range product, so don't let price stop you from going in for a peek. Overall, the work is excellent and the friendly, personably service seems A +. Open for over 18 years, its no wonder Fawcett's is still kicking.

I obviously didn't work as closely with them as he did, but in my dealings with them since then they have been nothing but polite and sincere - I think they like my ring even more than I do! Re-sizing was free and we are now working on designs for a band to go with my ring. The only thing I can't comment on here is price - my guy refuses to disclose what he spent, but I would imagine it was a lot based on the quality of the stones and the gold work. Pricing is not for the faint of heart, but what you get is quality and craftsmanship. There is no rhodium plating here - you get the real deal. The customer service is also excellent, particularly when contrasted with the service of chain stores.

This is a great little shop, bursting at the seams with every type of undergarment imaginable:…read morewacky tights, panty-hose, socks, PJ's, boxers, bra's/underwear, spanx, slippers along with a ton of funky accessories (hair clips, earrings etc.) This store is guaranteed to be packed around this time of year, so get in early if you're hoping to find a pair of bright orange tights to complete your Halloween costume. Every female university student in the city goes through this place in search of a pair of colourful fish net tights in October though, so if you're just wanting to browse, possibly save yourself a few jostled encounters and wait until next week. Great men's selection available too! All of the walls in 'Sock it to Ya' swing open to reveal extra inventory so if you don't see your size, don't assume the shop is too small to possibly have extras.

Add on the fact that all purchases are rung in by hand (debit and credit available - but inventory is managed on paper), and you have a refreshingly low-tech boutique experience. The product ranges from generic to known brands like Calvin Klein, JM and more. While the price tags often look steep ($30 for a pair of underwear), there are often incredible sales that end up leaving you with a bargain on designer finds. Definitely worth checking out!
