Halley and her colleagues offer individual care and excellent customer service, plus lots of creativity and ideas. As an example, Halley knew I was looking for a dress for a special occasion. She helped me check out several options, and then several days later, emailed me a photo of another dress that came to the shop that I might want to consider. That's what I call going above and beyond! The shop is full of hip, reasonably-priced women's clothing that you might see in NYC or LA. It's the perfect place to pick up a gift for a girlfriend, with lots of cool jewelry, handbags and accessories. Much of the jewelry is locally made. Be sure to check out the kid clothing and toys upstairs. My brother and sister in law traveled from Chicago for a visit, and swung by the Goose for a gift for my daughter - they also were very impressed with this fun, hip shop and my daughter loves the wooden toy pizza they gave her. The Purple Goose also is committed to giving back to the community - another great quality.

Nordstrom Rack is a great place to go and find what the store Nordstrom offers but at semi…read morediscounted prices. I think it's important to note that when you go in here, you're not gonna find really cheap prices. The prices are still up there. They're just a little bit less than you will find in the actually Nordstrom store and/or Nordstrom online. For me, the main reason I like Nordstrom Rack is their selection of shoes. They have a really big selection of shoes, particularly tennis shoes. They truly have a large amount of all of the name brands. And again, at semi discounted price prices. They're not cheap, but they are below what you would have to pay at the regular Nordstrom stores or most other sporting goods retailers. In terms of clothing, they have a lot of it. They have both a large selection of men and women's clothing. It's truly a vast amount. I don't usually find clothes that catch my eye at this store, but my wife always seems to find something. So, that may let you know of the mindset of the people who shop here. For men, they have a nice selection of suits, sport coats, slacks, and dress shirts. But, they're not exceptionally good deals. Personally, I prefer to go into a shop that is more devoted to those things when I buy such items. For my wife, however, she commonly finds nice dresses, tops, and also, shoes. She too, is a big fan of their shoe department. The one thing I will say is that if you want to get a nice pair of Doc Martens, this is a great place to buy them. They seem to discount Doc Martin's more than they do their other name brand shoes. This is just something to think about. Overall, if you want some high-end clothing, and/or shoes, and/or jewelry, and/or a little bit of anything else that Norstrom offers, this is a good place to purchase it.

I went to the dressing room and the attendant asking me how many items I had, I told them, and they stopped and made me let them count and leave the pack of socks I was carrying on the counter. Someone else took the socks while I was in the room. Next, I wanted some cologne. Took awhile to find someone to open the lock box where they keep it, and they looked at me like I wasn't making sense when I asked for cologne. When I tried to carry it up to go check out, they snatched it out of my hand and carried it straight to the register. Just a bit odd to treat paying customers like they're expecting you to rob them. It will probably make me stick to ordering from the online store in the future.

Two stars just because they've cleaned up somewhat in the last year and no longer look like a…read moretornado went through the store, and it's easier to find the size you need. Otherwise it's one star shopping. They rarely have enough cashiers on so there is always a bit of a long line. I already feel a tad yucky shopping here in general but this weekend turned me off for good. I bought approximately $200 worth of merchandise but was charged $270 at checkout because the sale signs didn't match the computer pricing. Nearly everything I purchased was priced incorrectly. I was able to fix a few prices at the point of sale - the cashier didn't even question me - but given the line piling up behind me I elected to cash out, double check prices on display, and get back in line to rectify. Nearly $70 worth of overcharging due to "someone probably not changing signs" but "that's not my job" is not how you run a business. It's a massive inconvenience to the consumer and extremely disappointing.

It was nice to have such a beautiful shop right here in Middleton - it was very well done. However, about a year ago, they cut their selection drastically when they downsized into a smaller space. Now you must special order if you want pieces from brands like Juliska, I don't even think they still carry the other brands. I don't recall there still being children's items. Store is small and mostly just women's clothing now. I used to visit/purchase multiple times per year; however, there isn't much reason to stop anymore.

I asked her about a particular sweater I already owned in a different color and she took me right to it. Of course I bought one in black that day. Her look and her enthusiasm really made my day. HUGE shout out to Emily and the H&M team. I think you guys rock at what you do. You keep me young !! *sidenote: Please get some cooler funkier earrings!

Even though I've struck out the last couple times, I've found enough rad stuff in the last fifteen or so years that I've been shopping there to keep giving it a go. That's the great thing about fashion - there's always something new.
