I've been very curious about the store because it had been receiving a lot of hype. I am very glad I stopped in and will be doing so again in the future. NIne lives is a small but well stocked thrift store with a wide range of women's sizes. Their selection is well organized, and well curated. It doesn't have the funky smell one runs into sometimes with thrift stores. I found a number of cute items. Unfortunately, none of them fit, but the selection was good enough that I want to stop again. Thrift stores are always hit and miss, so it's nice to have one that is so well organized. Great job!

The colors of the shop speak vibrant energy from the disco ball to the hot pink logo. As a gal who prefers thrifting, I know that I can now count on adding this shop into my rotation. Why? The color sorting and giant array of sizes was my selling point. Hooray for having not just a few large items or XXL but a plethora. From pants to skirts to shoes to jewelry, this place has it all. I sized up a little today and everything fit perfect even 2 swimsuits which is something that has never happened in my life. The owner, Roxanne, was a delight to speak with and informed me that many of the swimsuits were basically new as she purchased them from another thrift shop and didn't believe they were worn. The value is unbelievable where a majority of the swimsuits were coming in at a whopping $4 per piece. You cannot beat this place and I look forward to my return. Thank you!!

There's a decent assortment of items, and they refresh items often. I love to thrift, especially frames, and they have a good selection here! The big downside that many have mentioned is the pricing. The pricing is extremely overpriced. More frustratingly, there's no consistency in any of the pricing. It is extremely common to see something like a beautiful glass punch bowl priced at $4.99 while a junky plastic water bottle is priced at $15.99. I've also seen frames with ripped backs and shattered glass priced higher than $10. If you're looking to buy secondhand, this place has some nice options. If you're looking for a BARGAIN, this is NOT the place.

They have a very carefully curated selection of clothing and home good items. I'd say currently the theme is a casual southwest feel. I found everything adorable and decently priced though it was a smaller selection than I would have liked. Even with that in mind I still wanted everything in the store. They have frames, plants, chairs, tables, shoes, scarves, jewelry, etc. I wanted a scarf and bracelet but wisely left with the perfect gold floor lamp for $30. I chatted with the owner, Jamie, and she said they are constantly adding new items to the floor so I'll definitely be back soon. Worth the trip to the east side of Nakomis!

I noticed by the bed frames, a sign that said they have tools to disassemble, but you had to do it yourself, which is still helpful since some places wouldn't even offer that.

I was just walking by to head somewhere else but was lured in by the display of boots visible from the window (and of course the "up to 90% off" sign). Upon entry I was given a friendly greeting by the employee behind the register, who let me know that there were some $1 bargains around the shop. I took some time to explore the aisles. It is entirely a clothes/accessories thrift shop, so tops, bottoms, coats, shoes, purses, hats, gloves, jewelry. Probably around 3/4s the inventory is "women's" and 1/4 "men's" (if you adhere to the gender binary; I personally shop both sides). I didn't see any kids clothes, so if you're searching for that I'd recommend going elsewhere. Good range of sizes on footwear! They even have a dressing room so you can try things on if you'd like to make sure it fits, and I noticed a couple spots with a small bench to make trying on shoes a little easier to accomplish too. These spots also had a full-length tri-panel mirror to give you multiple angles to view your potential new item. Like I said, this place felt reasonably upscale! Not at all like slumming it, even though there were indeed quite a few things marked down to $1 clearance. While I was there, a couple came in to hand off some of their hand-me-downs. Apparently this place will offer you cash in exchange for donations. So if you have something that's got little to no wear and need some change, this might be a good choice over just dropping off at Goodwill. Didn't purchase anything this time, but I'll likely pop back in another time when I finally need to replace my running shoes. Why buy new when I could get a nearly-new pair here for $15-30?
