    Huge Jellycat Bashful Dragon

    The lady working was very nice and helped me find items that I was looking for. I'm not from the area so we stopped by just to check it out. We will gladly make the drive just to come by Whimsies! Also, check out my new friend that I snagged!

    My toddler had two of these books in hand and struggled to choose just one! "Jelly-Cat" brand, super cute!

    Belk is the most convenient and cheap clothing store around Charlottesville. At least for the male…read morepart of the store, there are tons of options. Prices are normally very high, but everything is normally discounted either in-store or online (I would never recommend paying full price). The employees are very nice whenever you bring up discounts or coupons, and the store is very clean.

This Charlottesville location is perfect for me. It is too far to visit daily, but close enough to visit on the way to family activities. This store seems to have two audiences: Those who will purchase a $600 designer handbag and those who are focused on the sale items. There was a nice selection of purses (the Jessica Simpson bags were cheaper here, but there was a wider selection of styles across the street at stein Mart). There was an overkill with "sales. Certain brands had "buy one get two free" promotions. If you sign up for Belk's credit card, you get 20% off of your total purchase and a 20% off coupon that doesn't expire. The dress regularly priced at $106, could have just been priced at 19.99 without any promotions (I didn't buy it). The dressing room was overwhelmed with discarded "Don't want this" items. The sales people were polite and able to have on-going conversations while ringing up my items. If you want to save money on cute outfits and you don't need actual help on the floor, this is a great place to shop. Bonus points for the cute themed socks (they even have DC and the Cherry Blossoms).

    Most malls are dying. This one doesn't seem to be with the usual anchors and in between stores and…read morevery few cell phone repair shops. I only noticed one or two storefronts "in transition" and that's unusual these days. Charlottesville Fashion Square is the town shopping mall. Shaped like a large plus sign with the anchors at the main four points. JC Penney, Belk (times two) and Sears. The mall is on one level and is surrounded by parking. Most of the entrances will be through one of those anchor stores and there are three others that are not. There is also a spot in the back for local bus service. Other than being very well populated, the mall is in good condition with good lighting, smooth floors and lots of spots in the middle to sit and wait for your wife to buy her stuff.

    As far as malls go, Fashion Square is pretty fair. It seems better already (as far as available…read moreshops) than when I originally moved to Cville three years ago. There are still a few vacant storefronts which always feels a bit sad, but at least one or two of them have signs that something is coming soon. There is a decent selection of restaurants, though I've never eaten at any of them. I do usually prefer an actual food court, to keep the food and eating folks separate from the clothing shops, maybe just because that's what I'm used to, but it feels weird to have all the tables with people eating right outside other kinds of shops. I think Fashion Square just isn't big enough to have a full designated food court area. Otherwise the main mall areas, bathrooms and stores all seem clean and well-kept. I have only visited the mall maybe 3 or 4 times, and usually for one or two specific shops, but it's always a kinda fun blast from the past to wander around a mall for a bit of time.

    I enjoy looking at the inventory at Kohl's. There are usually pretty dresses, colorful shirts and…read morefun hand bags. The only pesty detail is getting emails nearly every day. However, when there is a sale, those emails come in handy. You can use a coupon, Kohl's "cash" (earned money from previous purchases) and you can "stack" (use more than one coupon at once) your savings. It seems like it would be much easier just to have lower prices than so many "sales," but I like getting a bargain. I found several outfits for hubby. The employees are friendly and were more helpful than the Silver Spring, MD Kohls staff, which is much closer to my house. There is plenty of parking. The dressing rooms are easy to find. The bathrooms are clean.

    I am surprised that this location does not have better reviews. I was visiting from Chesapeake VA…read moreand didn't bring clothing for the cooler weather. I made a quick trip to this Kohl's Sunday morning to get my boyfriend and I a few items to stay warm. The staff was VERY welcoming and the store was very clean. I had great success shopping the extra 50% off racks for us. There was plenty to chose from. I was able to purchase several items for both of us and get in and out in a timely manner. I was very happy with the store, the available merchandise for great prices, and friendly and helpful staff. I even told friends it would be worth making a trip up to check this location out.
