Including a few local designs amongst its shelves, Silver Silk specializes in an eclectic assortment of earth stone and blown glass jewels. The general esthetic is crafty, playful and fun. Scarves, shoes, gems and wish stones complete the store's mini space. With an equally cute and quirky sales girl, this shop was just a nice little exploration. Small but mighty, Silver Silk provides an abundance of interesting jewelry and otherwise.

Walking along the Lower Water St, I happened upon this shop. Upon entry there was this little women…read morechatting to two customers who were looking to buy a large amount of bags of some sort. Anyhow, she still say hello to me in the middle of it all. I was pretty impressed with what she carried, a little of everything. She had some funky rain boots (on sale) and some really nice, almost clog type shoes, around $80.00 (sale). I knew this brand of shoe and had seen them at other stores. I liked her selection for such a small place. She also had all the usual jewellery and tourist things. This is a great little store and the lady who was working was really nice.

Be prepared to spend a lot money walking into this high-end store most pieces range from $100 -…read more$700. Accessories are definitely cheaper than clothing. Most pieces are beautifully designed and have a lot of detail BCBG is known for the bold colours, bandaged skirts, flirty tops, shoes, clutches and mainly cocktail dresses. The store is really neatly layed out new pieces at the front and sale items at the back with their dresses on the back wall. New pieces arrive frequently but unfortunately they don't get everything the website has and you can't order off the website either. Their website has great videos on how to wear pieces and their employees are very knowledgeable. During your birthday month you get 20% off or boxing day sales are the best time to shop. BCBG is pretty much the ONLY reason I go to Mic Mac as HSC has everything now. I always look forward going into BCBG to get a holiday dress I always get noticed and feel like a celebrity (celebs do wear BCBG). They have yet to bring swimwear/wedding wear into their Dartmouth store hopefully they will someday!

I visited this store Friday, June 26th 2014 around 3:00 PM…read more I expect top rate service for product in this price range. Shop workers employed there did not give me top rate service - they gave me zero service. By the looks of them I am sure they would not even know what marginally good service is. BCBG needs to train their staff & ensure they carry through. Why is it I buy $20 picture frames at Black's Photography nearby, and at no extra charge they clean and mount my photos in the frames with perfection, wrap in bubble wrap, and offer a hand out to the car - and afterwards I'm interested in a $300 dress at BCBG but all I see are 2 giggly teenage girls that avoid me? If BCBG wants to make a go of it at Mic Mac Mall they better understand that people that can afford their products expect more than crap treatment.

Almost every guy I know loves Mark's Work Warehouse. I don't know what it is, but I must admit,…read morethat I enjoy the store myself as well. The Halifax location is a good sized store and is well laid out, with women's fashions on one side and men's on the other. The selection is great, and the prices are quite reasonable. The staff are friendly and are always eager to help. Over the past few months they've had many savings specials. Recently they had a Ladies night where you save 20% off everything in the store, and they frequently have monthly specials where you save $10 when you spend $50 (upon presentation of a coupon). Overall, I've been quite pleased with this store and will continue to shop there in the future for myself and for others.

I want to give MWW 1 star, or nothing at all. Why? There is nothing in that damn store that appeals…read moreto me. Although, they have expanded to include more women's wear, there is still nothing there for me. There is no real variety, and most items are very similar. I'm not a fan of the women's footwear either. Ugly. But, this could all be just my personal taste, right? So 3 stars? If I where I dude.. (hmm Beyonce's song just popped into my head) If I were a dude, I think I would thoroughly enjoy Mark's. There is tonns of clothing; outerwear, sports wear, business wear. Whatever. A man can find whatever he is looking for in here. If you work in a business setting: hello, dress shirts, pants, jackets. If your a mechanic; hello overalls, coveralls, steal toe boots. And there is lots, not a little to choose from, lots! Name you're profession, there will be something there. MWW is not cheap, but it's not too expensive. It's a middle-of-the-road type of store, and you can find some deals, that's for sure. Most of the time I have been there with the bf, with a purchase he receives some kind of discount off for his next visit--hmmm, that makes sense as to why we go quite often.... So all-in-all, not for me. But good for him

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.

I will be the first to say, I am not a regular of these stores, but when I need to they have a nice selection. It seems to cater to the lady in between, the one who is not the teen, has some spunk still in her step though. They do have an arrange of sizes for you which is nice for the lady with the curves.

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!

Great looking clothes at deep discounts 2. Great selection in a wide variety of sizes 3. Store is attractively laid out 4. Mannequins show outfits that I never would have thought to put together 5. The email coupons- sign up for them The cons: 1. Staff seem to go out of their way to avoid helping for the most part 2. The outlet line is not quite up to the same standard as the regular retail line Overall I was very pleased with my shopping experience. Don't go in expecting to be greeted immediately at the door and assisted throughout your entire shopping experience as you are at the BR flagship stores because it's not going to happen- it is an outlet after all. The quality of the outlet line is slightly lower than the flagship line, but still on par with Gap or better. I was able to put together several outfits in under 30 minutes and left feeling as though my time there had been well spent.

I am glad that it's an outlet, because not only are the prices really good, but I actually prefer their selection to that of the main store in the Shopping Center, which I feel is geared towards women about 15-20 years older than me. Being so close I've learned to wait for good sales and have scored some major deals.
