Learning the ways of retail, his cuteness is the perfect way to begin this endeavor. What a sweet little shop. Although its been open for about ten years, I'd only recently learned of Wildflower from an acquaintance. Its confines are currently dressed in soft, breathable garments and assuring color palates. (Periwinkle, charcoal, rose pink, nude, and flecks of colour amongst it all!) Its actually a breath of fresh air, and a different variety from other independent boutiques in the area. I was elated to discover the accumulation of Free People frocks, which is probably my favorite [semi] affordable brand of all time. The owner mentioned that they would be getting more in soon-- whoo hoo! The overall stock seems romantic, flowing, and of excellent taste. Cute tops, rich fabrics and cuts are here for the taking. I think its safe to say that Wildflower has Bohemian Romantic down. The owner of the shop offered me genuine conversation and an easy shopping experience. I was the only patron at the time, so we chatted as I browsed. There was no pressure, no facade-- just good conversation and a shop full of wonders. After much swooning and chit-chat, I know this is a boutique I can dig. Besides the clothes, there were also some pretty neat accessories. I'd say the owner of Wildflower has a great eye. Understated, funky, classic and bohemian looks are all fused into one cohesive collection. All you need is a paycheck. xo

Another item was a lambskin jacket, bought on impulse and never worn, which cost me $1100 (yes, expensive impulse). She resold it for about $125. I felt like I had been robbed and when I expressed my feelings, she offered me $100- to spend in her store, not to redress my loss. I will never shop there again. Try Elsie's or Room 152 in Dartmouth but avoid this one. Owner Stacey is rude and defensive, has no idea about quality of clothing except for labels, and you will never get the percentage promised.

It doesn't hurt that they stock one of my favourite Canadian jewelry designers, as well as my 2nd love of life - Manitobah Moccasins. I own 3 pairs, I'm obsessed. Everything in the store is Canadian made, so no need to worry about spending your hard earned bucks on supporting local, because this store covers all those bases. Which brings me to the price. You're not going to walk in here and pick something up on a whim. No, you're going to carefully stock that very expensive coat, visit it often, until you just can't leave without it. Like how I'm going to do with that Biko necklace, earrings, bracelet.. you get the idea. I'm gonna creep the crap out of that jewelry until it finally comes home with me some payday Friday, when I carefully budget my pay cheque to cut out grocery shopping. So don't go in here thinking it's just another clothing store. You're paying for some Canadians dedication and hard work. You're supporting someone's passion and their dreams. I'd rather spend my money that way, I might end up spending more, but there is a different satisfaction with spending your money wisely. Plus the quality of products they sell here is top shelf!

I was in this shop today and can only give this review on what the selection was in the store…read more Once again, this is the selection only, we did not purchase or try a dress on. First, this is like walking into a fairytale with some of these dresses. They had such a large variety, I was shocked. There was young girls trying on these beautiful gowns. Some in red, others in gold and some in burgundy, I think you could find anything in here, long , short or cocktail dresses and every color option. Each dress was so full of personality, of course they all looked beautiful. I am not sure someone can look bad in these dresses. When you put one one, you just feel like a princess. The ladies in the shop were very nice to us, asked us if we needed any help, talked about the weather. They were very down to earth. The gowns ranged around $300 - 500, but there was a back wall with ones on sale, they were around $200. I thought this was a pretty good price. I liked the selection here. It is the only store that posts a sign. "Please remove shoes before entering". I think this is so no one would catch the shoe while trying on the dress.

I pass the store often, but don't dream to enter as it mainly carries higher end clothing than I can afford and a wide selection of prom dresses. These prom dresses are the main attraction for many girls that flock to this store all winter, and when I finally went to pick out a dress the women that worked there made me never want to come back. They wouldn't let my friend go into the change room with me, our bags were taken behind the cash register (who would try to smuggle out 11 layers of toule?), and no pictures were allowed to be taken of me trying on the dress. Not-So Hot Hint: Don't plan on being able to zip and unzip yourself, I was reprimanded and given the "you break it you buy it" line for doing just that.

Turbine is bringing high fashion to Atlantic Canada in a way that will entice fickle fashionistas and budget shoppers alike. With some stunning pieces available for $50 (I'm thinking specifically about the signature Turbine belt), it's all about the accessible accessories! They don't have menswear so I didn't dive too deep into the product but the store is gorgeous, dynamic and fun to shop in whether you're looking for something specific, or just appreciate beautiful things. Take a peak so you can look back and remember where Halifax's hot fashion scene all began and be sure to keep an eye out for their happenin' collection shows that are not be missed.

I'm a pretty lean guy so it's nice to find clothes that have a nice fit and aren't baggy on me, whether it's because of me being emaciated, or just the style of the clothing. I love that the clothes aren't covered in logos and in your face designs; good clothes will speak for themselves and have a timeless cut and colour. The staff is always quite helpful here. On my last visit, they held onto some bulky bags from another store I was carrying around and started a room for me while I picked out a few things. There's even a fridge with bottles of water for 75c if you're really exerting yourself in your clothing shopping!....

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!

Or as my husband would say "it a place for hippies." They had lots of cool sterling silver jewelry from Thailand. The prices were quite reasonable too. They had lots of earrings and bracelets in the $10-$25 range. I really didn't look at much else in the store, but they had beads, wooden knick knacks, pillows, and clothing that looked like they were from Nepal, Indonesia and Thailand, among other things. I loved these kinds of stores in my middle school and high school years, but it's not quite my aesthetics anymore, with the exception of the jewelery, because I still love sterling silver, it's the most suitable metal for my colouring. I had a great time browsing their large jewelery section. I almost bought the cutest bracelet, but it was a tad too big for me :( Staff were very nice. I always stop by when I'm in Halifax to poke around a bit, and be reminded of my style as a teenager, lol.

Tucked away in the forgotten quarters of Barrington Place, I tend to forget about its existence, but its longevity and steady clientele prove it to be downtown destination.

Not a spot for my own taste, but I understand Cowell's appeal for the right man or woman. Heavy prices are to be expected, but the large stocking of apparel is enough to take your mind off the logistics. Outerwear, basics, formal dresses and accessories, Colwell's does it all with the utmost class, and is certainly a spot to try if you're looking to sport this niche.
