I can't believe that I haven't written a review for Biscuit General before. It's one of those…read moreplaces that I go into browse quite regularly but haven't bought anything before. Dang budgets. When you first enter the store you'll find yourself faced with tables and tables of adorable nick nacks and homewares to browse though - so many cute mugs and beautiful candles! One day I dream that my home will be filled with them. They've also got journals, books, even a kids gift section. Further back you'll find clothing - men's is on the upper level and women's on the lower. They've also got a killer jewellery section (which is where I've found myself most often drooling over the rings and earrings). I never look closely at the clothing because I don't want to tempt myself (out of my price range), but just glancing at the racks I and tell there are a lot of cute things that I hear are really great quality. From the little bit of browsing I've done the sizes are all pretty small...whomp whomp. In the men's section you'll find wallets, shave kits and some really fun socks in addition to the standard clothing fare. Don't miss out on the back section behind the men's clothing where the sale stuff is! They've always got a good selection of sale things. I really love the idea of shopping at Biscuit General, but unless it's some of the smaller items I just don't have the budget for it. It can get very pricey very quickly. That being said if you have more room in your budget definitely give Biscuit General a shot - it's definitely a local gem!

I was lost, and then I was found…read more This is a special space of altered frocks, vintage finds, and a flavour of locally made. Eclectic musings come together to form Lost & Found's fashionably homemade North End boutique . The shop's mood is quiet and thoughtful, just as its clothes. Music is easy, and the store keeper sews away in a corner wooden chair. Piecing through the assorted racks, I become awe struck by the profuse selection of gorgeous things. Most times I am able to edit down final selections before the efforts of the fitting room; however, this was not the case. The clothing variety is of impeccable taste, as every item on display is hand picked, and/or altered with special detailing. And with such reasonable pricing-- it all seems too good to be true. (A large rack dedicated to post-season sales provides some gorgeous steals!) Clothing is displayed on thick wooden hangers, and well managed framework; the result is chic and polished confines. Divorce Records is an added bonus to the Lost & Found experience. Peek through this Halifax based label's selection for some stellar anti-industry music variety. Vinyl and CDs are for sale, and allow an opportunity to acquire new tastes, without commercial fluff. Also noteworthy: bin filled with $2 Vinyl picks. (Not Divorce Records) Besides glass encased jewelry and vintage frames, L&F is also decorated with DIY-styled trinkets and art. The space is fused with creative energy and wholesome goodness. I heart. My recent visit ended with the purchasing of a brilliant long sleeved crop top. With its subtle alterations-- front & back scoop neck with buttons, and adorable mini-shoulder pads + ruching-- its a dream piece. And only $18! The detailing of selections make for cool fits and one of a kind pieces. Lost & Found offers a creative and inspiring shopping experience, indeed. The carrier and creator of all things "special", this place is now top on my list.

Oui? Then chances are you're going to love this cute little new shop. I've already fallen in love with half a dozen things in here. Especially a certain Lowell leather bag, a new pair of yoga jeans, and a beautiful stone necklace. All made right here in good old Canada. There is nothing I like better than shopping local, plus supporting Canadian makers. The clothing in here was so cute! A great mix of professional yet fun things for the office and stuff to sweat in. I loved the dresses and skirts in here, I can't remember the brand now, but the fabrics were a dream! Fantastic quality. You have to check out this spot, you will fall in love.

A lot of it is a little bit out of my price range, being just out of school, but man would I love to own everything in this store. I managed to pick up an adorable pair of minimalist earrings after speaking with the shop clerk for a while. She was probably the best part of the experience- friendly, and was really helpful and real with giving recommendations suited to my interests and budget. I ended up there a few times over a couple of days, and she always remembered me, and even asked if I'd had a chance to try out the earrings yet! Wonderful experience overall :)

I also queried why the discount had changed from 20 to 25% in less than 24 hours and did they honour that. All said and done seems the shirt was finally sent and is being delivered since my query and no recognition of the additional discount but no problems with a $15 delivery fee and a false arrival date. I am not sure it would be on the way now if I had not complained. Won't shop or recommend online shopping from them

At first I thought oh my very old looking but once I tried it on, mind you it was the only one in the store left and pretty much my size, I could of went down one but for the way it fit, looked and the price, $20 something clearance plus extras 25% off?? Who cares!! Lol it's mine- yes I'm on a budget because I have bills, animals and a kid bit when I eventually feel like having a life- I'll throw this number on and go out! Glad that even stores that may appear pretentious have good prices at times and the staff was nice!

I find it has a much bigger selection of sizes and far more clothes than the location in the mall. I usually go here to buy some inexpensive jewellery to dress up my outfit. I get then buy one, get one free. I also love their bags! For around $30 or so, I usually pick up a pretty nice handbag. There is nothing better than shopping for a new shirt and handbag. The staff are friendly at this location. I have asked them to steam a blouse before and they were more than happy to. I always get great service!

Like Darling Miss Laura P., I quite adore Club Monaco's classically elegant pieces. Quality threads…read moreabound while well tailored waist lines and scooping shoulder silhouettes make a babe out of any old gal. I don't really indulge mush in Monaco's offerings; the prices are on the high side, but fairly so for the lush quality. Can we please talk about cashmere? I've been having an affair with this material ever since my mother found me a Max Mara oatmeal toned cardigan of the cashmere persuasion at Value Village. My heart goes va-va-voom for this sensual, seriously aphrodisiacal material. So you'll imagine my libido revving when I discovered a $100 cashmere scarf slash large blanket shrug at Club Monaco a season or two ago. I didn't make the purchase, but I do wish to this day that I owned such a treasure. The employees at this location are ever so helpful; bringing you sizes, offering options, and simply being attentive and professional. And heyo, they give a student discount if you show your ID, which is a huge bonus if you're buying expensive items! So have at it, my friends. Go and buy a black mini with a sassy cardigan, and head to Europe on your private jet plane. Okay, not necessarily feasible - but sure sounds like a sexy time, don't it?

And while the prices are enough to leave you high and dry, sometimes its just worth it. I noticed a few changes in the store's layout since my last visit. The infamous sale room has been transformed into a brooding mens selection. Disappointing for me, as I always enjoyed having this specific little room to browse discounted goods. Sigh. Alas, sales have been moved to the back corner on the opposite end and still offer some token steals. I found a gorgeous periwinkle colored chiffon blouse for $29 (Regular $68) with just the right amount of sparkle. Charming-- it was love at first sight. Another top with a super soft touch and scoop neck-back had me at hello. (Also $29) Check please! The store's spring/ summer selection was drool inducing-- svelte trenches, willowing summer tops and dresses to class up the best of us. Club Monaco never disappoints when the warm months roll around. I decided upon the two shirts-- they were steals after all. And to further add to my excitement, I received an extra 20% off my purchase because I had my student card. Shwing! It was the ultimate icing on the cake. Students must get 20% sale prices, and I applaud Club Monaco on this. All in all, CM is usually stocked in high class. Prices aren't always friendly, but the quality is great, and shoppers can find some true deals if they hit at the right time. My most recent visit renewed a past love, and I'm looking forward to sporting my new discounted threads. Whew!

For those special people in your life who can't live without all the brand name labels such as…read moreQuicksilver, Roxy, Hurley, Bench and Billabong - the Boathouse is the place to shop. The store has been at Mic Mac for about a year now, and is located on the 2nd floor. They offer a wide assortment of t-shirts, hoodies, jeans and sneakers. Generally speaking, their prices aren't too bad, but still weigh in a bit on the steep side. The customer service team is made up of mostly teenagers (17-19 years old) who genuinely seem to enjoy their jobs and are quite knowledgeable on store products. Overall, a positive experience, and I look forward to shopping there more in the future.

I don't know about this place, it's all far too neon for me…read more I guess this is what is popular now. Skinny jeans, bright colors, silly shirts. If you're into that stuff, then this store is for you, but if you find these things laughable then you're not going to get much out of this place. The girls selection is much better than the guys selection. My girlfriend found some nice stuff here that must have slipped through the cracks (it wasn't blindingly bright and tacky), but I think it was definitely a rare find. My best suggestion for those who are a fan if this style is to check out West 49 a little further down the corridor, or better yet, stop by Pro Skate on Blowers Street in Halifax.

TL;DR/The Short Version: Cool consignment shop that recently…read morerelocated from another location. This space is bigger so much less cramped. The Long Version: Elsie's used to be in one of those colourful row homes along Queen St (it was at 1530 Queen St). That location was on multiple levels and was incredibly cramped. It had a bohemian feel and reminded me of all the vintage shops in Kensington Market (in Toronto) circa 1990s. I would go to that location every time I visited Halifax. On my most recent visit in September 2024, I went there to see the store was closed and all the colourful row homes along there had signs in the window warning of asbestos and only authorized personnel were allowed to enter. It looked like they were going to tear the buildings down for redevelopment. I was so disappointed, and took out my trusted phone to see when they closed. To my delight, I discovered they reopened on Grafton St and I immediately headed over. Their new location is inside the building that used to be St. Mary's School for Boys. It's much larger so the shop is actually spacious now and not cramped at all. The feel now is more contemporary consignment shop, similar to the ones in Westboro (in Ottawa) of the 2010s to present day. They have luxury brands now. I saw a Chanel purse for close to 10K. They had Gucci too. However, they have more accessible brands in the $40 range as well. I spoke with staff there and they told me they moved to this new location in April 2024. Still a fun shopping experience, but I walked away empty-handed this time. (183)
