I popped into this Anthropologie on the weekend while roaming lakeshore. Similar to other reviews,…read moreit's definitely a window shopping kind of store for me. I compare it to browsing a book store because there is so much to look at here. Clothes, accessories, housewares, books and stationary. I personally love the style of clothing at this store. It's certainly on the pricier side however if you make your way to the top floor and head to the back they have a pretty extensive sale section. If you are like me and like a good deal, they have tons to choose from. I like the design and layout of this store, it's big enough that we could social distance while browsing. In terms of staff, it was difficult to figure out who was working and who was shopping. I didn't need assistance but if I did I wouldn't be sure where to turn. I noticed this time visiting there was no one manning the door to count capacities, but I know they have staffed for this in the past. Overall if you're in the area and want to browse funky clothes and housewares, go ahead and try Anthropologie.

Im not sure how Anthropologie does it but they seem to score a lot of gorgeous historical buildings…read morein high traffic spots to set their stores. This particular location is quite large for a suburban downtown and has that heritage feel. Love how it's an old re purposed bank. For those who love festivals, bohemian lifestyle or style, or just looking like you fit in with other native Californians, this would be your store. Everything here is carefully curated and presented to give you that desire to look and be inspired by the beautiful tropics. Like the website, the store has that refined luxury vacation vibe... it also needs the price tag that goes with it. I have to give credit to Anthropologie... though they do follow trends, they are not limited or hop onto every single new instragram trend. They do stick to the same image of the carefree glam girl. I also feel that they dont quite take their store sizing to petites like me. Their normal dress length makes me feel like a kid... I think you'd need to be at least 5'7" to be making these long flowy dresses and skirt work. For the clothing itself, I found most of designs simple and basic but their prints and colour scheme is what keeps them unique. Vivid and bold, all of them stand out ... especially against the millennial dusty pink trend of late. When I was there, it was bold sienna, rusts, splashes of turquoise, or saffrons. If you want to be carefree and yet catching looks... good spot. I will say their white fabrics... sheer. So if you want to buy a white dress, you'll probably need to get an extra lining. The other thing about Anthropologie, the price point is notably higher than what you'd see in a mall. Simple short dresses start at $120 and the nicer ones are above $250. How carefree is a $250 free flowing dress? ... probably not what I was expecting. They also carry a lot of interesting skincare and house ware to keep you browsing for a while. I saw some nice brands like Farmacia, and Tocca. I would have been extremely impressed if they had RMS or lanolips are those are harder to find in Toronto. For Oakville, this was a step up seeing how there isnt a Sephora nearby. As for service... I didnt really see anyone except the lone person behind the counter. On a Sunday afternoon, it was quite empty ... store and service. No one was there to greet anyone or help people find sizes. Though to be fair, I've never been in an Anthropologie with a proactive service staff. Usually you have to hunt someone down or find someone in the change area to help you. Oakville seems like the right demographics for this spot ... maybe if there is a sale, it might be more reasonable for some to afford a cute low key dress but for now, I'll just continue browsing.

After searching for a furrier for my boss and based on the recommendation of a colleague, I found…read moreBarrington's. The store also happened to be a short drive away from us. At the beginning, we were treated very nicely from the staff and Paul accommodated us and our requests. Instead of going with a custom fur coat, it was recommended that we went with an in-store coat and order the next size up. He put down an approx. $5000 deposit. Paul said the coat would arrive in 10 days, which it did, only to discover that the coat was too small. He recommended that they alter the original coat. The alterations were then delayed by a few days. Paul called me to let me the know that the coat was in, and thinking we'd receive the perfect coat, I acknowledged our gratitude to Paul and his team and kind service. When my boss stepped foot into Barrington's to pick up the coat, him and his friend were given the cold shoulder, which was rather odd considering how nice we have been to him. Paul was rude and downright disrespectful and made them feel that he didn't want them in his store for some reason. Then they come to find that the finished coat was completely messed up. He mislead us during the final process and was incredibly rude. He refused to sell the next size and refused to proceed with a custom-built coat. He said that he couldn't help them and strange that there aren't any more mink pelts in Canada. Without hesitation, concern, or remorse, he handed back the deposit, thus losing a $10,000 sale. Plus, future sales. It's very strange and rude behaviour for such a highly reputable store owner. It's like he was a completely different person. We will not be returning to Barrington's and have informed our friends, colleagues, and their networks (many of whom are his customers) of this unfortunate experience.

Even though there are like 8 tills set up only 4 were being used despite the line up spiralling around their IKEA style exit to grab you on a last minute buy. It's a bit annoying to wait in line. I also noticed the staff were very low energy. :( One tip, this location does not enforce the smoking bylaw. There were customers smoking at the entrance at the sitting area and by the support post. Come on guys, shoo the smokers a few meters away. Because this location has the shelter canopy it is where these smokers retreat. If you're not a fan of #unregulated #smoker #bylaw entrance, this is one.

I never thrifted before and when i stumbled upon this store on my instagram story feed, they caught my attention. I instantly knew i wanted try this place out. I came here couple of times with my family during the pandemic. The experience was and is positive. I actually went by today to look for new wide set pants and a place to try on since i like to visually see myself with the clothing item. Surprisingly they have lots that aligned to my style. Me and my sister got a couple of pairs we bought and are happy with it. Everyone was so nice! I didn't know that i can apply for customer account under Plato's. The cashier explained i can get points everytime i visit. The only thing i knew was that you can take pictures and post, tagging their user on instagram to get 10% haha! So i applied to get points, and got extra for not getting a plastic bag for the pants we bought. That was great. And honestly, this is the only place i shop for clothes now since it's budget-friendly, close to where i live. The pants i got was under $20 which is perfect! Can't wait to come back againnn!
