What caught my eye first was the beautiful assortment of colorful summer dresses. These dresses as well as the layout and the design of the store are very reminiscent of Lilly Pulitzer.

I'm so glad I discovered this super cute and super colorful boutique. I will be back.

Would NEVER recommend coming here." I would like to say that I am DISGUSTED by how they felt.

Also, I noticed there were some very wrinkly shirts, from cotton to rayon. Maybe I'm delayed on knowing what's forward in today's fashion, but something tells me every fabric doesn't look best when wrinkly. The further I looked in to the rear of the store, the more I liked the pieces. There are some formal dresses, some purses, shoes and jewelry pieces that I would be interested in when the occasion presents its self. They also have a sale section downstairs. I might return here soon to purchase a birthday gift for my mom.

The items are the same quality as the regular store, but at a much lower cost. A brand new J. Crew Factory store just opened last week in West Hartford's Corbin's Corner. The store has a great layout, and plenty of great summer pieces, for men, women and children. Most of the store is currently on sale for 40 - 50% off. Since this store is brand new, the exterior is still under construction, but It's what's on the inside that matters. The sales associates are friendly and answered all my questions. I've already been here twice since they opened last week. I'm glad to have a factory store nearby now. It's a good idea to come in frequently as new stock comes in often.

My husband and I stopped in while our running errands this past long weekend and we were so…read morepleasantly surprised by our experience. Not only was the store clean and organized, but we were able to find so many great items for both my husband and our 3 year old son. I was elated to find several matching shirts for them to wear over the summer, which I look forward to seeing them in together. Prices were great and having the teacher discount on top of it was excellent. When we went up to the register, the young lady behind the counter (Lauren A) was patient as we troubleshooted which email my J.Crew account was linked to. We ended up sharing some small talk about my husband and I being educators and she was very sweet in engaging about our jobs, summer break, and which grade levels we worked with. She was so positive and genuinely happy/helpful. This wasn't exclusive just to us either. We overheard similar interactions with her and other customers in line before we approached. She was just a kind person, who seemed dedicated to her job. We will definitely return!

Folks, I went to…read moreUnited AG in Farmington CT for service as I bought a John Deere E350 there 2 to 3 years ago. I made an appointment for the United to pick up the unit 3 weeks from my visit date. The service person informed me that I am first on the schedule for pickup on 3/26. Further, he said that the driver arrives at 8AM and he should be at my house no later than 10AM. I thought, "Fantastic!". At 11AM, I called the Service department to enquire about the schedule as no driver had arrived. I was told that there was no notation of a morning pickup on the paperwork, but the driver will show shortly. Well, at 2:30 PM there was still no pickup and when I called Service yet again, they said that the driver was still out on first round of pickups and they could not contact him. This is my second negative experience with the service organization in Farmington. Previously, they serviced my prior John Deere lawn tractor which took an excessive amount of time to repair (4 weeks as I recall) and was very pricy. Consequently, I cancelled the 3/26 service pickup appointment and am going with a different service provider. I recommend keeping clear of AG Service in Farmington, CT. Paul

I learned working in schools (former teacher turned homeschool mama) from the PT and OT therapists that shoes are vital for proper development and posture. I saw the difference in their sessions with different shoes... I will always save so they have good footwear. They are on their feet all day just as we are and us adults notice cruddy shoes... why subject our kiddos to that.
