I highly recommend Randy's Dive Shop.

It's the place to go for all of your roller skating, roller blading needs, and accessories. Not only do they carry roller skates, poms, clothing, equipment, but they can also custom design skates too.

I feel so, so grateful to have a skate shop so close by. Years ago, when I played roller derby,…read morebuying online or at local skate rinks with limited supplies were essentially the only options. Wicked opened right around the time I stopped. Now that I skate recreationally, I can pop in here and grab whatever I need that day, whether it's new bearings or wheels. It's a small shop but they're always so friendly and helpful, installing things for you as well if you bring your skates along. It's also been cheaper than buying online a lot of the time, by at least 10 or 20%. Seems like a win-win to have the face-to-face interaction, support a local business and save some money, too.

Great boutique! Shopped here for the first time today and was very pleased. First off the staff is…read morevery friendly and helpful giving honest opinions about sizing and matching. There is a great selection of items. Everything from jeans and tees to formal dresses and coats. They also have accessories and some home items. Items are priced appropriately for each brand. While some items are higher end and a bit pricey you Can also find really great brands of great quality that are more affordable. They have a 14 day store credit only return policy. My only Complaints were that the heat was so high in the store i felt sick. Especially in the dressing room. Also the mirrors are verrrry tilted so I hope the items I purchased still look good at home.

Bellwether is a highly curated boutique in Sewickley with an aesthetic that is a blend between…read morerustic and tailored. There is a lot of floor space, but it doesn't feel austere. Accessories and home goods co-mingle with clothing, which leads the shopper to examine every corner of the store and not just a specific section. In this way, Bellwether immerses you in its displays, making you examine each one for a special piece. The looks seem to appeal to a clientele that is perhaps not *quite* as youthful as Rosewood, but perhaps not as matured as Soho or Spoiled Chics. I ended up buying a set of jewelry dishes with my initials on them, and the woman in the shop was very friendly. While the clothing is not quite of my style or size range, I do like this shop and I think that Bellwether is a welcome addition to the Village scene.

After visiting the amazing Phipps conservatory I stopped at the gift shop to buy water and just…read morebrowse and determined this is one of the prettiest gift shops I've ever been in and I could've bought several things. What stood out to me was the quality of the merchandise. Often you go into a gift store and it's just trinkets and the quality doesn't scream, but in here everything is beautiful. You can purchase ceramics, planters, orchids, soaps, jewelry, pins, books, you name it there's something in here for everyone. Also, many items are unique and fun, like whimsical flamingo planters.

I recommend this gift shop if you want to purchase a little something for a friendly, family member, or yourself. They have some unique items that I cannot easily find elsewhere.

During my most recent visit, I felt very pleased with the employees' customer service. All employees greeted me, offered assistance without being pushy, thanked me, and said goodbye.

I'd been in another Mall in Pitt at Champs a few days earlier, and they didn't have my size in the shoes I almost bought. Ten and a half usually. I stopped by here to see if they had the right size and they didn't. It's much like the other store at Ross Park, it reminds me of it in fact. It's got a lot of good stuff and isn't as overpriced as some of the shoe stores around. But also isn't by any means cheap.

For several years, I have shopped off and on at this store. During my most recent visit, an employee asked me if she could be of any assistance.
