What a lovely little shop celebrating all things pregnancy and baby related…read more I happened upon this boutique today, I suppose quite intentionally as I've wanted to head in and check it out for quite some time now. The first thing that struck me was the lovely smell when I stepped into the warm store - it smelled like lavender and that delightful fresh baby scent that all newborns seem to have. I was greeted promptly and took my time perusing the selections. They have a huge array of soft reusable diapers as well as lots of books, both educational for parents-to-be and playful stories for young kiddies. They have lots of wares to make new parents comfortable, like baby slings and cozy blankets. This is a great place to go if you're expecting or you know someone with a bun in the oven. You'll find an educated staff able to support you and offer you assistance with great products designed to help out with the rough and tumble, exciting journey of parenthood.

Absolutely the most warm and welcoming baby store in town…read more It's a must for the cloth-diapering and baby-wearing set, but even parents who don't opt for this lifestyle will find something to love. There's a great, curated selection of toys, books, and gear that is sure to make any parent or child on your list giggle with delight. The staff could not possibly be any more helpful, but to go even further, they host regular workshops on cloth diapering, baby wearing, pregnancy and delivery, breastfeeding, potty training and more. The store is gorgeous within, from the barn-board floor to the blackboard wall, to the rainbow of cloth diapers on display. The front windows are always a wonderland. The store is even accessible if you can't get into Halifax. They have a vibrant web presence at their website, Facebook page and Twitter stream.

However, The Royal Diaperer is just that store. They were absolutely amazing in their helpfulness and attention to detail. I appreciate their (and especially June's) patience with me as I tried to make everything as perfect as this new little baby deserves. Thank you to all of you for making this far away friend happy. :)

This is a great store to shop in if you have extra money to spend on a baby. I've gone into this…read morestore and nearly everything in here is approximately 3 times more expensive than your average store. I recently went in here to help my friend look for a high chair. Not knowing much about this store, I proceeded to ask for help. The lady told me the high chairs were on the 3 level, so off we went , up the stairs. When I got there, she showed me some beautiful chairs. I asked her to give me a ball park on the price and the cheapest high chair was $500! Oh my goodnes! Walmart had them for $50.00!! I literally turned around and walked out. On my way out, I noticed a few strollers for $1000. It was at that point when I started to RUN! WOW!

I heart Envy. I heart it sooo much, you guys…read more I love the fashion here, I love the occasional sale item I score, I love the helpful employees, I just love Envy. This is a place that's slightly upscale, so you will be paying a higher price than you would at some of the other clothing boutiques in this mall. However, I believe that quality is worth a little extra now and then, so it's always my first stop at HaliShop. They carry all kind of great brands, but they no longer carry my guilty favourite, Juicy Couture. Sad face. Still, the rest is pretty awesome. I've gotten so many of my staple items at Envy, from my awesome squirrel dress to my formal winter coat. I do wish they would carry more accessories, however. High fives to the ladies who work here, as they're always willing to track down an item or check other stores if they don't have something. They're also totally honest with you if you ask them about an outfit you're trying on, which is so helpful when you're shopping solo, such as I usually do. Seriously, check it out the next time you feel like a splurge. It's easily one of my fave places in Halifax for clothing.

I'm a mega fan of Envy! That is, whenever I decided to buy something new and not second hand. Which…read moreis not very often. They carry great brands, and even the brands I'm not familiar with are still in super cute designs. I'm a brand snob so it takes a lot to convince me to buy something I've never heard of. Envy's style closely mirrors what I wish my wardrobe looked like. Did I mention they have fantastic sales? Almost every time I'm in here there is a huge sale section happening for one reason or another... fall clearance, summer clearance ect. With every new season comes a new wave of sale seasons I can't wait to browse through. From casual to prom formal, you can bet you'll find something in here to fit with your style, and probably at a great price to boot!

This is my go-to store for clothes - great styles and reasonable prices…read more There isn't a huge men's section at this store, but what they have is great, whether it's casual or business attire with great suits, dress shirts, ties and I even bought a tie bar here (bye bye floppy tie!). 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!.... If you want to dress like a respectable man and not some sketchbag/other type of bag, and don't want to bust the bank doing so, hit up RW & Co!

why haven't I been shopping here more?????…read more I'm 54 and still like to have a few funky fashionable pieces in my wardrobe. This store has something for everyone AND great sales! The size ranges are awesome too. XS - XL so lots to pick from. The fabrics and quality are A+! The staff are always really nice too! Great job rwc and keep the nice fashions coming!

I do love this store but am rating this as a 2 for the consistently super snooty sales associates here. Generally when I am shopping at the mall, I am not wearing my office attire, I am wearing jeans and sneakers. On almost every occasion the sales clerk will give me the once over and turn up her nose and walk away to speak with another customer without so much as a hello. If I purchase something, their "tone" changes instantly! Often I am not in the mood for this blatantly snobbish behaviour so I will leave before I am finished browsing to go look at Sears or a different store. The management here should remind their sales staff about the power of friendly customer service. It would certainly help them to work with a mystery shopping company.

Adam needed a shirt for the wedding we were attending over the weekend so when we saw this…read morestorefront we figured we would give it a try. We spent over an hour and half in there! The saleslady assisting us was very nice and patient. Adam must've tried on at least 2-3 different shirts and more than 5 ties. She was also nice enough to steam the shirt before wrapping it up. They have this cool policy in the store where you can try to put a hole in one mini golf style for $95 off a tie for $2 (and the money goes to charity!). Sadly, both Adam and I missed. But I enjoyed playing a lot! Mini put inside a store! I was surprised no one snubbed us as we did look very ordinary. I think once Adam specifically asked to try on a shirt, they loosened up and realized we were going to buy something. That's when they got friendlier and offered us drinks. But I really only liked the lady who helped us, the rest seemed unbothered and lazy.

Great fits for all shapes-- because yes, men come in odd sizes as well-- the staff here are professionals and do not take retail lightly. Going into Duggers and doing serious shopping calls for full-on service in a kind and cordial manor. As I accompanied a male friend in recent months on a mission for a new jacket, I observed the service as very thorough and helpful. It wasn't about a simple assistance to the change room; these people are all about getting the right fix, giving brand detailing and all the extras. Those looking to get properly outfitted and not knowing where to start can rely on Dugger's. As well, its a fine place to browse. No pressure... I like this spot, as they've got some pretty spruced up threads. Pricey but spicy, this is a place to check if you are looking to be fine and fancy.

Just ignore the staff and you'll be all set…read more I didn't remember much about this store from when I was in it while in other cities. But I thought their prices were going to be outrageous. The good news is that their prices are actually very reasonable for the most part. And I walked in right when they were having tons of deals! The sad part was, none of the clothes I wanted fit right or looked right on me. There were some interesting jackets but I wasn't in a "jacket buying" mood. Now onto the staff. When I first walked in, I couldn't find them. So I looked around and looked around some more and still couldn't find any. I shrugged, thought about how security seems pretty relaxed, then went over to the changing room to try on some of the clothes I would eventually find out didn't fit me right. I did then find staff, but they simply gave me a number and told me where I could go to try on the clothes. They weren't rude and had a pleasant sounding voice. But here is a list of what they didn't say or ask: 1. Can I help you with anything? 2. How did that one fit? 3. Could I get you another one in a different size? 4. How about orange as a color? I never found any staff who were at all interested in me as a customer. I looked around just to check and see if someone else was having better luck but no one was. When I walked by staff they were talking and coordinating with each other. But they simply acted as if there were no customer's in the store. H&M does have some nice products and even though the clothes didn't fit me perfectly, they will fit someone. So they deserve three stars for having a good variety of clothing and having deals from time to time. But two stars are missing because customer service was down right nonexistent aside from someone handing me a number and letting me know where I can get changed.

This H&M store is divided into 4 distinct sections. There is the women's casual, women's dressy,…read moremen's and kid's. I mainly stick to the women's sections, but I've ventured over to the men's section from time to time with my boyfriend and I've been jealous over the selection. Even though the women's inventory probably triples what is available for guys, I found that the selection and style was much cooler than the girls. The dressier section of the women's clothes are a little to flashy for my taste, I did pick up a nice grey cardigan which I love because it's not a typical v-neck, and instead it buttons all the way up. Prices vary, some of the more casual clothes are pretty cheap, but the formal selection can be really pricey. This is still a fairly new store so I've found that their sales have been few and far between. Hot Hint: I found a really cool (and durable!) umbrella on sale here. Keep and eye on the accessories and you can find some great deals.

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
