They do carry a few shoe lines and have styles that I haven't seen anywhere else. A seriously large selection of hair do-dads and other accessories. The sale stuff is all the way in the back near the dressing rooms. My only frustration with shopping here is that I feel like the sizes are all over the map. But I guess that's more on the brands than the store.

I happened to be on my way to a hair appointment when I spotted The Book Rack on Metairie Rd. I…read moreknew immediately what I was doing right after the appointment! Normally I'm nervous about checking out new places alone, but this was a perfect solo adventure - the kind of cozy, cramped place that you don't want to have to squeeze past your friends to get around. Meeting Mrs. Cookie, who was just helping out the owner by watching the shop, and Big Boy, the little purse dog running security, also helped ease me into this new experience. Not only was Mrs. Cookie helpful in directing me through the overwhelming sections and willing to help me search for specific authors, but she was so personable and even had quite the interesting tale to tell me about her life - which all seemed so impossible that you would think she were a character from a book. Overall, there was an abundance of hidden treasures if you have the patience to look. I got a copy of Anne Rice's Queen of the Damned, and George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones (in like-new condition) at a great price! Come here for the oldies, but goodies, and the smell of thousands of pages that every book lover adores.

Stopped by ten minutes before close on my way to what I thought was Bank of America (nonexistent)…read more Sooo glad she didn't close early and I was able to meet the infamous bookstore kitty and score a set of the Brian Sanderson Mistborn series. Typically I come to browse and grab any good deals I find, but with minimal time, I let her know which authors I was interested in and she ultimately checked her car after scanning the shelves to get me this series that she was planning on reading herself! They retail 10-12$, but I got them for $8.50 each. Not the world's biggest deal, but cheaper than retail nonetheless. I'm grateful for the effort she put in to find me something to leave with especially so close to her closing time.

Just off St. Charles Ave, right behind the BEAUTIFUL Latter Library, and only open for a few select…read morehours each week, this little book store is full of the BEST DEALS in used books in the city, the area, and possibly the state (please correct me if you know of somewhere better!). It is well organized, full of Thousands of books for $1 dollar (Not all books are one dollar, but more than half!). They also have DVDs, and kids books.There is a big shelf as soon as you walk in filled with the books that most kids have to read for their English classes, and most for $1. And then you are finished reading your books, you can donate them back to this facility and it goes to further the efforts of the Friends of the New Orleans Public Library.....win-win!! An added benefit for those who like to compost, Compost NOW accepts frozen compostable food scraps here from 12:30pm-2pm every Wednesday. Recycle some books, and recycle food waste.

Best of all, though, come here to decorate your house. While the rest of the country is taking down the holiday decor, NOLA is putting up the purple, green and gold lights, garlands... even keeping up the tree with a whole new look (that's the case in my house). Beyond Carnival season, it's smart to come to Plush Appeal rather than a corporate chain like Party City etc because this store is enormous and likely has what you need to fit any party theme. Truly a one-stop for holidays, parties and costumes. If tourists find it, they'd never overpay in the souvenir shops again.

I think great Store you can't miss it. You'll see the big blue Napoleon. I will check it out. Good service good value.
