What I wrote close to a legal-adult age gap ago (#1) still largely holds true, with a few notable…read moreexceptions: construction never truly finished as the place is perpetually under it; it no longer resembles what it was for the last decade and is more updated and spacious than ever. In fact, the multi year transformation that its currently undergoing makes it less of a traditional mall and more of a mini city that has spawned into a mixed-use commercial district. Their use of natural lighting all throughout the space makes it an ideal place for a photo in any corner. In addition to the space, many stores have stepped in with a good number that are high-end to appease all of the new money coming into the city of Richmond. It has become a leisurely destination for families and teenagers as folks roam the mall from corner to corner. One of the most significant transformations has been their food court, which has been dubbed the DiningTERRACE and features a number of food and drink spots. The only downside has been the mediocrity of most spots, which has plenty of room for improvement. Parking is also a mess, especially during the weekend. Folks are constantly competing for space and camping out has become a necessity during their busiest times. As many skyscrapers have been built nearby and it's proximity to the metro rail, this place will only serve to be busier as time goes on. ____________ (#1) 18 years has flown by.

Remember when Bluenotes was rad? When they were like the Canadian version of Hot Topic? That was…read morepretty cool, they used to carry rock tshirts, Dickies clothing, CDs, magazines, and they had their own brand National Velvet....those were the good old days. Then they got bought out by the YM Company that owns Stitches, Suzy Shier and Sirens. So now you can get the same two plain tshirts for $10 at Bluenotes that you could at any of those stores. Yay for options! The staff are pretty much run off their feet because the store is filled with peasants who get dressed in the dark and are looking for a bargain. You'll get helped by a disgruntled employee. who is constantly trying to play catch-up by filling the shelves with stock that just came in, since the shit is flying out the door, and half of it is probably not even paid for. The store is usually in disarray, so finding a size is next to impossible, not that the clothes they carry are worth sifting through, the two stars goes to the cheap price of pretty much everything in the store, because occasionally you will come across something worthy of your time and effort. I guess I am just sad to see the old Bluenotes go, which gave us good quality jeans that didn't stretch out after the first wear. Sometimes change is not so good.

How did Richmond end up with such a great boutique like this?!…read more As I stepped into the store, I knew this was going to be good. A simple and clean blue and white scheme, a large open space, a couple of racks of clothing, a simple artsy armchair, and Kelsi Dagger shoes! Their careful selection of clothing reflects in the brands that they choose: Covet, Something Else, Gentle Fawn, Spiewalk, Designers Remix, and a couple of other newly discovered brands today. Lots of cute tops and dresses, jeans, as well as a good collection of jackets. Oh, did I mention that they also carry Kelsi Dagger shoes (Pour La Victoire's sister line). They have jewlery by Blee Inara, which were very unique pieces. They only have one change room though, so it could sometimes be a bit of a wait. So happy that I discovered this shop! (And it's right next to Rocanini!)

The store was neatly organized and displayed everything to it's fullest potential. I loved the wall of bags and the small collection of shoes they had. The racks of dresses, tops, pants and sweaters were all very pretty and trendy but were on a slightly more expensive side, than I'm used to but that's boutique shopping right? However, touching the clothes, it definitely had quality in every piece. I was very tempted to buy a high-wasted rose pink flowy skirt for $56 but I stopped the little shopping devil inside me. I loved the very dainty and unique jewelry that adorned the shop as well - there was a feel for antique, aztec and modern jewelry scattered around the room. A very cute addition to Steveston.

I decided to do a bit of shopping and came here looking for jeans. For me, Jean shopping takes time…read morebecause it needs to be the "perfect jean" in stretch, size and colour. The staff was very helpful and friendly when I asked about the different Jean styles. American Eagle had quite a large selection of styles from high waisted, super high waisted, short, regular, long, next level stretch and a lot more. This does not include the variety of colours you can choose from after you pick the style you want. After I tried on what seems like every style possible, I found my perfect Jean. The bonus was that if I bought a second pair, it was 50% off!

However, I find this spot to be smaller…read moreand though it's close to the popular Apple store and Forever 21, it's tucked in a little further so if you didn't know, you might not turn the corner and miss out on AE. Regardless, the store still has the same AE feel with cali-inspired clothes. Also, since it's smaller, it seems like things are kept tidier and the layout is quite fluid. I find I only enter this place when there are sales, and the sales are pretty decent - usually 30-40% off. Although, I'm trying to wean myself off from more causal type clothing... you always need that staple pair of jean shorts and plaid button-up!

Apparently girl said this is their only location where it's all femme. Most everything is 20-50% off, smaller location, across from Banana Republic. Even with 5 min to closing, have to give credit for the 2 girls not to rush me out...if they had other colours for the backpack, I would've fished out some dough, that's good savings as they rarely go on sale.

My part-time, work-at-home research gigs have spoiled me silly, and I found myself brutally underprepared for my first week of work at a new position. But I didn't have a plan of attack! Enter Plenty (aka Plen+y, I suppose). It caught my eye (as I walked on by), because I was familiar with the store...I had purchased some things from their other locations, but never from this particular one. I was pleased to be greeted immediately by racks of trousers, blouses, and skirts, AND signs that informed me of their 50% off everything sale going on right now. Needless to say, I went a bit crazy. I started flinging items over my arms willy-nilly in an attempt to finish the task at hand ASAP. A sales associate noticed my burden and asked if he could start a room for me, so that I could continue to rifle manically. It also helped that this store is about a quarter the size of their other locations, eliminating that lost, overwhelmed feeling that I'm prone to. Decent selection of casual and dressier options for the "young, modern working woman" (no, my new job isn't in advertising). Service was there, but sort of indifferent. I didn't mind - I walked away with enough items to keep me semi-presentable for the next few weeks, mitigating any future nightmares about showing up to work in pajamas.
