It's a cute little place, especially good for accessories and gift items, and there is a good range of prices. I felt comfortable browsing without pressure, even though I was the only shopper for the first little while I was in there. I got a great tote bag on sale, and a really cute birthday card for a friend that was so perfect, I bought it almost a year in advance. Definitely check it out!

The shop owner is really sweet and she told me that they have new items every week. They carry very girly items, with a little bit of korean/japanese influence.

I stopped in here and found so many good finds for both of them and price range was decent for both a "nicer" gift and some stocking stuffer type gifts. From candles, candy, socks, self-care goodies, mini treasures, jewelry, clothes... there's definitely something for everyone. The employee also wrapped up my gifts in individual bags (which I bought there, so cute) for me and added tissue paper, tied a little bow to them as well which took a load off my shoulder as I rushed home that day.

PERFECT GIFTS for Every Need! I literally cannot with how…read moreamazing this store is and how awesome their staff is! I had to quickly grab a housewarming gift for a first visit to a dear friends new house (while my grumbly husband waiting in the car). I knew the perfectly curated store ALWAYS has an impressive array of custom scented candles on their back wall (replete in an artful gift box with box of matches = PERFECT!) So I selected a delicious Olive Blossom & Hyacinth, Amazing! And on the way to the register, passed the "guys" table and found a perfect space-themed puzzle for their young son. I asked the staff if I could get individual gift bags and in a blur of ribbons and smiles, they removed gift prices & I was handed two BEAUTIFUL gifts bags, and informed "The puzzle's in the larger bag." This whole process, I kid you not, took under 5 minutes & the dumbstruck look on my husbands face when I returned to the car in 5 minutes w two perfect gift bags was MY gift! LOL ... Thank You Kanibal & Co.! #Lifesavers

I'm a shopping addict. There, I said it. Now that we've gotten that out of the way…read more.. TIA'S PLACE IS UNREAL! I'll admit, I was nervous to leave NYC's shopping scene behind when I made the move to JC. I was considering living in Hoboken for a while, and Washington St has a ton of really great boutiques. Jersey City? Not so much. There are bars and restaurants as far as the eye can see, but when a gal needs some new clothes a new tapas joint popping up every week just aint gunna cut it. Tia's place is everything that it needs to be. Price points are very reasonable, think similar to Forever 21 or H&M. The clothing selection is stylish and trendy, and if I buy a shirt that goes out of style next season but I get a few good wears out of it I won't feel that bad. They are all stocked up for summer and there was a bountiful selection of maxi dresses and light and flowy chiffon tops when I was in the other day. Tons of cute costume jewelry and tote bags as well. I was hoping that they would have jean shorts but to my dismay there were none. I didn't have my wallet on me but I'll be in again ASAP to buy some cute summer staples.

Necklaces are hanging on tree stands, lingerie is draped on pink chaises, and it just feels like a huge 2 story closet filled with Tory Burch, Rampage, Max and Cleo, Hale Bob, and lots of other designers.

There are so many, GOOD selections. You have super cute and dainty pieces as well as more risqué ones. My favorite thing about Noellery is the quality of their sterling silver jewelry. I am horribly allergic to nickel, copper, or other "cheap metals." But I picked up these super cute minimalist sterling hoops, and have had absolutely NO reaction yet. I've been wearing them for almost a month.

My first time here and it just caught my eye when I was walking in Jersey City. I needed to go…read moreinside to check out the jewelry and what they offered. It is very girly and organized in a hipster, trendy fashion. All the earrings were on fake greenery wall with purses hanging below them. I loved a lot of the earrings although I did find them a bit too pricey in my opinion. It was around $50 for a pair of stainless steel or sterling silver earrings. The sterling silver was not shiny enough. It looked more like stainless steel. They have a lot of styles though of studs and hoops. It's just the silver wasn't shiny enough. It looks like it will fall off of my ear.

If you read my initial review, it will come as no shock that when my boyfriend (at the time) and I…read morestarted discussing our future plans for marriage, there was only one place that I would want my future ring from...you guessed it, from Kerry at Love Locked. I already knew Kerry had beautiful pieces and great style, so I was very excited to work with her. Before we got started, I had some normal nerves and worries about the process and in one session with Kerry, they were all gone. I felt like she knew exactly what I wanted, even if I didn't even know how to verbalize it. She listened, was accommodating, sensitive to our needs, and found beautiful pieces to show us at our appts. I was involved in the initial stages of planning however my (now ) fiancé and Kerry finalized the design together so the final result was still a surprise to me. I truly couldn't have picked something better if I had picked it myself. I spend an embarrassing amount of time staring at it because I love it so much. I'm forever grateful for Kerry and my/our experience at Love Locked, having her involved in this milestone of our lives is something that we will never forget. If you're in the market for unique and timeless jewelry, want to find some great products from local businesses, and/or overall just want to have your day brightened, I highly recommend you check out Love Locked. You will NOT regret it!

I sent her a few pictures just as a jumping off point and she designed an absolutely gorgeous one of a kind ring that I will treasure forever. There was no pressure to buy at anytime, no upselling, just a woman passionate about her craft looking to design something unique for you. The other employees (who's names I am ashamed to say I didn't get) are equally as talented, knowledgeable and professional. I am so pleased with everything they've done. Thank you Love Locked!!

I stumbled upon this store during The All About Downtown…read moreStreet Fair in Jersey City. This store is super cute but it is pretty pricey. I spent $60 on a Nicole Concho Link Belt and $138.60 on a Hidden Jeans Devon Classic Denim Trench Coat - Dark Wash. I did end up doing a price comparison to see if these items were available elsewhere to determine if they were overpriced. I did find the same exact belt on two different online stores and they were both priced at $60. As for the Denim Trench Coat the price was originally $154 but it was 10% off for the coat which made the coat $138.60. I found the same exact coat on Nordstrom for $135 so the price is comparable after the discount but without discount it would have been $154. Overall the service was good. The woman cashier who was working that day was super friendly and allowed me to try on things I wanted to purchase. They do have two fitting rooms available for easy try ons. The store is on the smaller size so it can get cramped if there's a lot of people in the store. Overall, if you are in the downtown area of Jersey City, I would say this shop is worth checking out. But be advised you will need your $$$.
