This was the only worthy shopping escape within downtown Blacksburg that offered cute, unique…read moreclothes. They have some really pretty dresses here, some of which I purchased for formals and special occasions. Mad Dog has quite a few cute shoes and accessories too, along with some interesting knick knacks for decor. They offer some cool picture frames as well, which I bought as gifts for a few friends, who loved them. The price tags on the clothes are a bit pricey, though. Not somewhere the average college student can regularly shop, unless you are one of those spoiled sorority girls who have their parents pay their credit card bill every month (which seemed to be the case with a lot of Mad Dog's customers). Overall, it is a nice escape to indulge in occasional retail therapy post-final exams.

Not impressed. I'm really surprised this store has stayed open as long as it has. They do have some…read morecute clothing, but they overcharge for them. The material of the dresses do not warrant the price tags that accompany them. The quality of the clothing is on par with Forever 21, but they're charging double or triple for it. They do have some cute accessories and small home goods. Considering this is one of the only places to shop in Blacksburg, it's not bad, but no matter what, you'll end up overpaying for anything you buy here.

Every single sales associate that I've interacted with only engages any type of personality or…read moreconversation when I'm checking out. Boutique's gain their business based on the unique personalities of each employee, that is not the case with this Blacksburg shop. Their return policy keeps me from wanting to "shop small" because if I need to return something that was not a good fit I can only exchange or get store credit. At that rate, I'd just rather buy directly from the brand.

310 is the only clothing store in Blacksburg that I like. I recently bought the leather spanx…read moreleggings that I'd wanted for soooo long. They cost $98 but they are sooooo cute, so I bought them during the 20% off midterms sale for university students. Once I got home and already ripped off the tags, I saw that there was a hole on my butt!! I called the store and the girl told me to come in the next day when the manager was there. The Manager took one look at them with my receipt and tags and immediately went to grab another pair for me. They didn't have them but said they'd ship them in from the Roanoke store. Got them a few day later and love them so much so thank you 310!!!

The store is pretty well organized and even though I had doubts, I'm glad I stopped in here. The cashier seemed confused when I tried to use the $5 foursquare coupon and I felt bad for holding up the line. I guess my only criticism would be to train the workers better. I would go back because you never know what kind of deals you can get here.
