This is a national chain but it's a great place to find costume pieces or super trendy items. The…read moreclothes are pretty poorly made. But that goes with the extreme low price point. The store is pretty torn up so be prepared to dig. But I did find a red skirt for my carnival costume so it's all good. The parking lot can be a bit of a disaster if there is an event at the Shamrock which is in the same strip mall. On the other hand, I got to see a bunch of really random costumes this afternoon and for once the dudes were dressed more skimpily than the girls.

I made two trips to this location at the corner of Carrollton and Tulane in the last two days. The…read morestaff was friendly. Like, awesome friendly. They had a great report with their regulars--even with the FedEx delivery guy! When I was at the check out counter for my first transaction, the manager noticed that I had my eye on the fragrances. In a totally non-pushy way, she asked if I saw the sale. I was psyched about catching a deal. And when I misread the pricing, the manager explained the details in a kind tone. The racks were tidy and it was easy to find my size. I returned the next day to exchange a sundress for some shorts I had my eye on the previous day. The clerks were professional and helpful, and our transaction went well. You have to love Rainbow because they have all kinds of inexpensive outfits. But the people employed at this location will keep me coming back far into the future!

You can complete whatever you've decided on with their selection of accessories. This place is as pretty inside as the clothing on their racks. It's easy to get to - right smack dab on the main drag in Lakeview (Harrison), and they have their own lot in back. Next time you have an event, or even if you don't, it's worth a stop to check it out. Seriously gorgeous stuff.

Located in the Riverwalk Outlets this department store had a lot of items marked down. I saw…read moreearrings, clothes, shoes, and of course items located near the registers. The store was neat and laid out fairly well, for what I was looking for. I found nickel free earrings and other items that were marked down. As for customer service, I didn't need help and the ladies at the register were moving the line quickly. I would shop here again if in New Orleans.

I make a point to find the nearest Nordstrom Rack whenever I'm traveling…read more As for this one at the Port of New Orleans, I was pleasantly surprised by their denim selection. They had a great assortment from Good American and Madewell, with a good range of sizes and styles to choose from. So yay because I needed a pair of jeans because the weather was much cooler than I'd packed for. The dress section, however, felt a bit repetitive. Lots of the same styles, so not a ton of variety there. One thing that really stood out was the shoe section, especially if you're a size 10. There was a very large selection, which isn't always easy to find. Overall, a solid stop if you're looking for quality denim and shoes, but also know that it's Nordstrom Rack so options will always vary.

Genuinely, one of the best shopping experiences I've ever had…read more I've been shopping trashy diva for well over a decade now. So a trip to their store on my New Orleans trip was a must on my to-do list. I ended up stopping by three times and left with 3 gorgeous dresses and a pair of earrings. Tami helped me out on my last visit and she was such a sweetheart! She not only helped me out with picking out dresses, but we talked history, travel, architecture, vintage - everything! She also gave me the sweetest hug and wished me safe travels on my way out - I felt like i was leaving behind a friend even though we had just met. I love genuine connections and people like her. She is a complete gem of a soul! I can't wait to be back some day!

The clothing was lovely, and they had several designers I'd never heard of; and also they had sizes for normal people, not just tiny little skinny things. The handbags were so much better than anything I've seen in department stores, and prices were reasonable. The shoe selection was small but clearly curated to go with the clothing. My daughter bought a belt and I only wish I was her size because that belt would have "accidentally" fallen into my suitcase before I left, LOL.

I was pleasantly surprised when I made a Christmas return to the Dante St. store. The sales women were very helpful and personable and the store was much larger than I thought. They have everything from formal wear (maybe just because it's carnival season) to casual wear and PJs. The clothing styles don't completely mesh with my own, but I did find a couple of very cute jackets that I'm sure I'll love for years to come. Plus right now is their big sale so they were 70% off which allowed me to purchase both rather than one.
