Southgate isn't the kind of place I recommend visiting in December, but then again I don't…read morerecommend visiting any mall in December (not if you can help it). That being said if I'm gonna go to a traditional indoor shopping mall then Southgate is my top pick. It's mostly a convenience factor (I like Kingsway too, but I live closer to the south side). The mall is older, I think 25 or 30 years old, but they've don't a lot of renovations in the past 5 years so everything looks new and bright. Southgate has a nice amount of stores, not too many, and I can usually find what I'm looking for when I come here. There are some higher end stores like Michael Kors, and the Apple Store (well high end depending on what you by) to your run-of-the-mill Canadian mall standards like The Bay and Sears. There are also a few stores here that are great to go to because for me it means avoiding a trip to WEM or going downtown (I love downtown, but I don't love driving/parking downtown). So yes it's great I can buy my makeup at Sephora here instead of going to WEM or going to Evoolution (delicious artisan olive oils and vinegars) instead of having to go downtown or to St. Albert. One of my favourite things about Southgate is the food court. It's open, and can be a bit loud, but it's got a decent fast food selection from Koryo (Korean) to Opa (Greek). I also love how environmentally friendly Southgate is...they've got bins for recycling, trash, and they even have drains so you can pour out your beverage down the drain instead of dumping it in the trash. There's even a separate spot to put the utensils. The other high point of Southgate, as strange as it might seem are the washrooms by the food court (well the ladies at least, can't speak for the men's). Why? Because the washroom stalls are huge (seriously you could probably get 4 people in there), they have a heavy wooden door, and when the door is locked it goes from a green vacant to a red occupied. I wish all public bathrooms did that, instead of playing the knock-to-check-and-see-if-someone-is-in-the-bathroom-stall game. The bathroom stalls also have a a big purse ledge for you put your purse/bags on. And when you go to use the sinks after you're done there is a automatic paper towel dispenser in front of every sink. No waiting in line to dry your hands. Score. Regarding parking it can get busy here, but I usually find the parking lot is pretty decent, particularly if you go to the upper level there's usually always spots there (maybe not right before Christmas). Southgate is also on the LRT line (right after Century Park) so it's convenient if you take transit. Just know Southgate isn't park and ride, so if you park here and take the lrt you could get a ticket (yeah they check that). One thing that is a little weird about Southgate is the layout. It's a mall that was just designed a bit weird, but it's not a big mall and easy to figure out. It can get busy, but it doesn't have the insane crowds that WEM does. Southgate is definitely my go to mall in Edmonton.

Sure, there's something to be said for consistency across the malls of Canada (where can't I find a Spring or an Aldo?), but it's such an awesome surprise to find something like this in a mall like that. The clothes here are gorgeous, with unique details and careful construction. The price is right, too. Even if I'm not in the market for a new garment, I can usually find a gorgeous new bag or jewelry piece. Dainty necklaces, feather earrings, you know the type. Lots of Matt and Nat stocked in here, too. Last time I was in, they were having a sale - bonus! Sales clerk was super friendly and explained the price reductions to me. Definitely coming back soon (esp. if there's another sale)!

I honestly make trips to Southgate just to go to Groove Stone. I love that a local business like this is able to make it in a commercially saturated mall. It's so refreshing to see such a unique place here. First off, I'm a sucker for anything Matt & Nat and Groove Stone has an unbeatable selection. It can be tough to find high quality vegan accessories, but at least now I know where to look. I also love how they support Canadian artists and designers. On my last visit I snagged some amazing earrings from Flight Path designs and some really unique pieces that my friends and family are going to love to receive this Christmas. Not only is the merchandise amazing, the staff are all incredibly helpful and friendly. They're always quick to offer suggestions and go out of their way to search for untouched pieces in the backroom so you don't have to buy the floor model. My only complaint with Groove Stone is that they keep taking my money from me! It's impossible for me to walk out empty-handed.

Walking through the Bay Southgate or any Bay in Edmonton ( don't get me started on the West…read moreEdmonton mall Bay) you realize The Bay does NOT care about the Edmonton market. The stores are poorly staffed, poorly lit, and generally crap compared to other big cities in Canada. I'm sure Nordstrom's thought that if Edmontonians think this is quality shopping they're not ready for Nordstrom's. The one example that clearly sums up the Bay is the men's room. The Bay has to have the worst bathrooms in Canada. The ventilation in the men's room at Southgate is so so so bad there's either a cancer patient who's decided to crap himself to death or the sewers are backed up. All of this in Edmonton's most prestigious shopping center Southgate Bay. Any illusion we have that we're a big city is quickly shattered when you step into Southgate Bay and realize this is as good as it gets in Edmonton. It's depressing.

The store was a very, very, very classy looking place. I was afraid to my shoes would get their carpet dirty! They specialize in expensive looking (I'm sure they were just as expensive as they looked) purses and bags. I was really too afraid to touch anything; I didn't want to mess anything up; the store's appearance was so nice and neat. So I just walked around the store and looked at what they had. Their purses and bags were really colorful; I think a little too flashy. I'm more of a plain, solid colored person. They also carried some wallets to match the bags and purses. If you are going to walk around try avoiding the carpet since it makes you feel very unstable; I almost broke my ankle because the carpet was so squishy, my shoe kind of sank in to it. The staff there seemed nice enough, I did feel like I was out of place. They didn't come up to me and ask me if I needed any help but I did feel like I was being watched like a hawk; which is why I didn't want to touch anything! I was so worried that once I touched something the whole display would come tumbling down or something embarrassing like that!

While I was wondering around Southgate Shopping Center I decided to stop in for a closer look. The first thing that caught my eye was this really cool long sleeve plaid shirt. They had about four or five different color combinations and they had lots of different sizes but not too many of the larger ones. It must have been because of their Boxing Week sale. As for anything else besides the plaid shirts, nothing else really caught my eye. I kind of felt out of place; the store was filled with teen girls. I think I'm getting to old to be shopping in these kinds of stores. I don't think I could pull of the look! They had some interesting graphic T-shirts that I would probably wear if, again, I were younger. The staff was busy running around trying to find the sizes for young girls.

The clothes at Garage are pretty decently priced. They quality, however, is not the best. And the staff are not very attentive.

In all honesty, I can't remember the last time I ever bought something from Garage. I know that I often see things that are cute, but I've also seen them elsewhere for cheaper and better quality in general. I just think this store is missing the "It" factor. Sorry Garage!
