Reminded me of…read moreGoodwill except better because every item had a tag, easily visible from the rack, with price and size. Clothes sorted by type (long sleeve shirt, skirts, dresses, etc.). Also plenty of housewares and toys and decor. Some furniture but not a lot. Prices were thrifty! My size medium teenage daughter came home with over 20 pieces for less than $100! Some had new tags. She is excited!

I was disappointed by the fitting room policy at this shop. I went in with my two young daughters…read morewith the t-shirts we selected, and after we were already in the dressing room, an employee told us that only one person was allowed at a time. I asked if I could stay in the dressing room with my daughters so I could help them and make sure they were okay, but I was told they would need to come out and show me each item instead. This rule made a simple shopping trip take three times longer and was very inconvenient for a mom with special needs children. While there was a sign posted with the policy, I did not notice it beforehand. I understand businesses need rules, but this policy felt impractical and made the experience frustrating. Unfortunately, because of this rule, inflexibility and unfriendliness, I will not shop here again.

After we ordered the shirts, we continued to receive promotional emails guaranteeing delivery before Christmas if we were to place additional orders. It's Christmas day and the shirts are not here. Latest tracking says we may get them by end of day tomorrow. We love the shirts they sell but the promises they make are worthless.

Wide variety of quality baby items! They offer used and new clothing, toys, all baby needs & more!…read moreI love it because I prefer my baby's items to be new while I'm ok with some used items(example gently used clothing). The two ladies working were very pleasant and helpful with holding my items at the front since I was holding my son while shopping. I could spend hours looking through everything! I feel that the prices vary - they do have name brand items that are pricer (reasonably so) but also offer things for cheap (example - used bibs for 25 cents). They have my favorite swaddle blankets! They also offer rental items (strollers, baby bouncers, high chairs). Maternity clothes are also available. There was no restroom at the store - but they do have a key for a restroom for the plaza. One of my favorite baby stores I've been to!

Adorable baby store in a strip mall off Croatan Hwy. It's easy to locate and has ample parking. The…read morestore is filled with new and used baby items. They even offer rental baby supplies and maternity gowns. We spent a good amount of time there and still didn't make it through the full store. The employee working during our visit was enthusiastic and welcoming, but she did come across as a little pushy. I don't buy baby items often, however, they seemed to offer a decent variety at fair prices. I would return when back in the area and recommend this shop to others!

They have quality brands and fun colors. But sometimes I don't feel like trying on clothes so I like that I can skip that side of the store and oooohhh and ahh at the soaps, jewelry, scarves, purses, cards and such. I always walk out with something.

Bottom Line: Cute-sy clothes for ladies and children and housewares…read more Mud Pie has lots of cute stuff and there is no adjective that better describes the clothing, accessories and housewares sold her. For example, I saw a ladies blouse with cute pink flamingos on it, a baby sleeper with cute sheep on it and some cute dishes with Mr. and Mrs. on them. While the items here are endearing and they have many fun patterns and colors, I think a little bit of Mud Pie in the wardrobe or the home goes a long way. Mud Pie is a chain and the store definitely has that corporate feel to it compared to the other locally owned shops in the Outer Banks Mall.

The lady who was basically running the place herself (should have gotten her name) took time to help us search for the exact shirt we were looking to buy. This store is dog friendly (and some aren't and let you know it with a snooty "enjoy your pets, drinks, and food sign" out front) and has treats for our fur buddies! This sweet lady squatted down, gave our little Sheltie girl a treat, and received a kiss on the nose! Our little Sheltie girl knows the good people! We felt completely comfortable in this store and will be back. It's sorta weird. Some places in this beautiful shopping center on the water with an extensive boardwalk that connects many shops, are completely dog friendly, and there are other stores that won't let your fur baby past the front door. I'm pretty sure we would have spent significant $$ if we could have come in, but it's your loss! I'll give my money to the shops who don't exclude everyone with a dog. Have some balls non-dog loving stores and ask those with untrained dogs to leave your store. Let the well mannered dogs inside. Kudos to Life is Good!

The store is mainly packed full of trendy and typical beach souvenirs and clothing but there are some exceptions. I put the stacks of Salt Life, Fish Hippie and Simply Southern tshirts in the trendy/typical category. Some of the nicer items that caught my item were Yeti containers, Southern Tide menswear and Cobian flip flops. In the past I have been a big fan of Farmer's Daughters jewelry but that wasn't very shoppable this time around as it was hard to get to the cases. With the challenges that COVID-19 have created for small businesses I tried to give them a fair shake while vacationing in the Outer Banks for a few weeks but Farmer's Daughter left me disappointed. The store was just as cramped as ever with merchandise spilling over into the aisles. And the employees were less than welcoming. One employee pushed past me, literally, to get back to her restocking task at the jewelry counter. And the employee who rang me up only said four words - "twenty-seven seventy-four."
