What struck me first was the color coded sections, which I actually like because I'm picky. So I went to my preferred color choice and started combing the racks to see what they had to offer. Lots of jersey cotton designed into pretty, fitted tees and dresses. More modern selection of jackets and tights. They cross the line on some items, but they do call themselves "eccentric" so cowboy boots with plaid and fringe are A-Ok with them. They also experiment with animal prints (something that I've never gotten), and really colorful accessories (I mean, REALLY colorful stuff that might even make a gay man cringe). But overall, they displayed a nice selection of women's clothing that was eclectic and accessible to most. I also dug their jewelry section because it was a little different than most, focusing on chunky chains and big pendants. They didn't look cheap (well, they weren't cheap) but affordable and vintage looking.

Really, Hobbs has all their bases covered with witty books, useless cool must-haves like nose cups (when you drink it looks like you have a funny nose) or flasks hidden inside a diary book, and of course, clothes. The women's section featuring styles modeled after Paris Hilton and the guy's much more cool and metro. They even have a baby section, with onesie's from American Apparel and and Paul Frank. Quirky and cute, this place is fun to browse. If you have a younger sibling that's high school or college age, I'm sure there's something you can pick up for them.

Of course there are other things too -- that's where the Etc. comes in -- but it's always the art deco stuff that attracts my attention. The posh Brighton collection is apparently The Etc. Shop claim to fame. The coordinated accessories, which include shoes, jewelry, watches, sunglasses, belts and more, are very nice, but they're not any more attractive than the other accessories throughout the store and a bit pricey for my taste. If I splurge here, I'll take the ultra cool Macintosh-inspired lamps over the pricey-but-average Brighton items any day.

Because of this, it is a bit more interesting than just the boring Brighton collection (which is their main focus, carrying the whole line). A bit expensive, but then again charms do come from Italy, and the jewelry is high quality being hand made sterling silver. The home decor is quite nice, being an art deco (FLW influence) style. But the Brighton does overpower, making me gag a little on all the coordinated, shiny, accessories.

The service was completed in a few hours, right on schedule, and the price they quoted was correct in the end. Additionally, the staffer who returned our key took the time to sit in the car with me (it's my vehicle to drive but my husband is the one who knows the technical stuff) and show me how all the new features worked, and answer all my questions. I am so happy with the new stereo & backup camera, the price, the service and the quality if the work. I had this done a month ago, and everything is working flawlessly.
