One of my favorite stores at Garden City Center, and a must visit every time we are here. I love…read morethe bohemian-chic vibes of the clothing and home accessories, and can never leave without buying (ahem) several items. During this visit in particular, I was looking for a fun outfit for my company holiday party, and went into the fitting room with many options in tow. The dressing room attendants were friendly and offered great feedback, even running back into the store to get different colors and sizes, and also pieces they thought would compliment the look I was going for. I ended up leaving not only with a great outfit for the event, but also with a few other pieces to wear to work. The pieces are on the $$-$$$ side, however, they are fun and unique, and if this is your style, this particular location is a great place to shop!

Even though Anthropologie is known as a clothing retailer what attracted us to come into the store…read morewas the nice Home Decor window they had....it was really inviting to see the beautiful home accessories they had. They had a variety of things like candles, pillows, table accent decor, etc. Anthropologie has approximately 200 stores across the U.S., Canada, and the UK that offers an assortment of clothing, jewelry, home furniture, decoration, beauty products, and gifts. We loved the products and the way they were displayed...very nice...

The sizing takes a little getting used to. The in store sizes ranges from 0-3.5, but sizes 000,00, 4 and 4.5 are available for online purchase. Sizes 0-3 correlate with extra small to extra large. I have to admit it's kind of nice to be able to say I'm a size 1. The clothing style is best suited to a more mature women. They have great jackets and cover pieces and very unique costume jewelry. The sales are pretty good with clearance being marked down sometimes more than 50%. If you are a subscriber, there is often a $25 off $100 purchase coupon included in the catalog. However it usually can't be combined with sales.

While that was my intended destination, I could have been shopping for a significant other, so that was a little insulting. After going to the men's side, and being greeted and telling the clerk I was just looking, she preceded to shadow me around the store the rest of the time I was there...I guess I gave off shoplifter vibes. The prices were high, and the selection wasn't that big. Can't say I'd be back.

They usually have a nice sales section in the back and most of the time, they have 50-60% off extra on those sale items. I did not see anything that I liked, but I did check some of their pants and socks. Nice selecion. In 1989, J.Crew opened its first retail store, in South Street Seaport in downtown Manhattan..today there are hundreds of stores, mostly in the USA, but also in some international locales.

I've always enjoyed exploring the Garden City Center, an open-air shopping center in Cranston, and…read moreI've seen signs for Garden City Center Farmers Market around. I had the opportunity to visit on Sunday, September 14th. Garden City Center's historic gazebo green transforms into a vibrant, open-air Farmers Market. The Farmers Market is every Sunday from May 18 through September 28 from 10 AM to 2 PM. I wandered and checked out the local vendors. There were a great variety of them. I purchased a really cute coaster from The Book Emporium RI. The Book Emporium RI sells books that are wrapped and you have a blind date with a book. I also purchased a lavender sachet from 15 Lavender Place. I spoke with the owner and she told me all of the lavender is lovingly home-grown and hand-harvested, ensuring the highest quality and care go into every product. There were soothing lavender eye pillows, relaxing neck wraps, sprays, and bundles of dried lavender. I also went to Fully Rooted to purchase two bottles of freshly pressed juices-Watermelon Slice and Golden Greens. There were also local food trucks, farm booths, and local makers. The Garden City Center Farmers Market is a market for everyone. Either if you just want to stop for coffee, get produce for the week, flowers, dog treats, see alpacas, and so much more.

I'm so excited that an actual Lilly Pulitzer store FINALLY opened up in Rhode Island. Granted; we…read morehave the Watch Hill Store (which is only open seasonally) & Anchored in Pink (which is pretty far from most of us- In Newport, RI). So I was ECSTATIC to be in the area yesterday and went in to check it out! To my surprise they actually opened the day before! I was greeted by an enthusiastic gentlemen who welcomed me to Lilly. They had macaroons, Lilly's a juice, cookies and other goodies for customers. The store itself looked really beautiful and the decor and ambiance was very coastal chic. My only issue was the selection of items was extremely limited. I think it was because they had just opened- the previous day- but still they should have had a lot more in terms of options. They had a lot of the new prints & styles that had just come out like yesterday- but I wanted specific styles that were basically new- so unfortunately I did not purchase anything! But I will definitely be back in the future for the grand opening in May possibly! And now when I need a Lilly item & want to try it on- I just have to drive 30 mins instead of an hour! Can't wait until they have more inventory & they are established!

The clothes seem high quality, well curated and stylish and I love the way the store is laid out ... especially the dressing rooms, which I want to live in. The staff here is my issue. They seem overly pretentious, judgy and just not very helpful. Often, they speak to you as if you are a high school student who walks into a Ferrari dealership asking for a test drive. Noses in the air. Even when you chase them down to help you ... they act like the waiter in Ferris Beauller's Day Off. I do find myself shopping here more than I'd like and each time I feel ignored by the staff, or like I am annoying them with anything I ask. I have been to other Banana Republic stores which are much friendlier and the staff actually seem to want to help me buy clothes. The Garden City location is just terrible.
