If you are looking for that gift that has that little something extra to it, have a look around. First the store is wonderful to browse through, there were two gals working when I went in, one named Carrie and the other Kayla. Both very pleasant and professional. A nice hello to greet me and then let me have a look around. This shop is new and carries, purses, artwork, jewellery, speciality items, they pretty much have all the basis covered here. But as I said , these items are not your average. One of my favourite things that caught my eye were things fabulous creatures called Sweet & Sour Gargoyles, they are made in PEI, and are worth every penny. The average was about $100.00. The artists that make these have fantastic imaginations. I want one! This is a must have for me, it is on my list , a collapsible water bottle in lots of colours, made by Vapur. This is freezable, dishwasher safe (top rack),rolls up, stands up when full, has a place to write your name on it, this is such a great bottle, is any of my family is reading this, guess what, you are getting one as a gift. These are only $11.99, a great deal. They also have in the back of the store a nice selection of baby gifts. There is a great item there, they are bears that you insert the hot water battle or cold. This store has lots of options for you to choose from. Kayla told me that they try to support the Canadian artists as much as possible. Most of the products they seek out are Canadian made. This alone is a reason to go to the shop and support it. I want to thank Carrie and Kayla for allowing me to take a few pictures, they were great and know their product lines. :)

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 we were in there the store itself was laid out nicely, bra's panties etc were on the right and swimwear and beach accessories on the left not hard hey. Great selection of suits and accessories to match as ll pretty reasonable prices that wont leave you broke and guilty that you actually purchased it. Some suit are priced way to high for the product that you are getting. One thing I found is that they could expand on the sizes of suits for those who are not a prefect A cup other then that the service as great as when you walked in the door you had a friendly hello.

The prices here are reasonable for lingerie. Nothing jumped out at me, but they had some great sales on. I saw some cute gifts for people. It was nice to see they carried mens as well. They seem to make their own brand name for a lot of the lines they have here. The swimwear section is nothing to drive the distance for .

Ardene's is packed with goodies for those who like accessories. I went into this location in the…read morecrossing to see if I could find a pair of cheap sunglasses. I was shocked to see all the jewelry that lined the walls and just racks and racks of earings, necklaces and things that I have no idea what you use for. It is nice to see the sales clearly markes 3/$15 or buy one get one 1/2 off. Ardene's has branched out from just selling earrings as they were stocking up for summer accessories like hair flowers which I would have purchased if there was pink but all the stock was not our so I will go back. Cloths and belts and even flip flops were available. Now are these things that are going to last forever no but what an awesome store to accessorize for a good price.

The store will only do a refund up to 60 days after purchase and will not allow me to return them through mail or send them any photos at all to even just have them refund my card. I have never in my life had such poor customer service and they will absolutely NEVER get our business ever again. The manager of the store even agreed its ridiculous and happens often. Living 3 hours away from the nearest store we are just out $100 dollars and a pair of shoes. Absolutely disgusted definitely do not recommend ever shopping there.

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. My only issue with the store is that I find the turnover of clothes can be a little slow, but I find the get enough new pieces in regularly to keep me coming back.

Prices: The prices are half decent, but the majority of the clothes are older styles from last season or the season before. Customers: The store is almost always empty when I go, and I've yet to find anyone who's a true Fairweather advocate. Customer Service: The customer service is fair-good. Essentially, they might acknowledge you and ring in your purchase. I'll often just wander into the fitting rooms myself and find my own sizes. Personally, I think it's just a matter of time for Fairweather unless they start to make some serious changes.

Like Krista stated that some of cloths seems like they are from last season and they are trying to resell them.
