    "Hi. Welcome to the Penguin store. Today is the last day everything in the store is 40% off it's lowest marked price." My only manageable response was to let out a long, high-pitched shrill reminiscent to what you would hear if you were to tell a pig-tailed, nine-year-old Japanese girl in a school uniform that her Tamagotchi had a baby. Opened just a few days before Thanksgiving, Original Penguin's latest factory store at The Block at Orange still has that new store smell. About ninety percent of their retail space is dedicated to Men's Clothing & Accessories (polos, t-shirts, long sleeves, outerwear, shoes and the like). Only a small corner is dedicated to Women's & Kid's Clothing. By the very nature of it being a factory store, you know there's a good reason some of this stuff didn't sell at full retail; fugly is fugly no matter how much you discount it. Lucky for us, it only takes a reasonably-trained eye to get away with some awesome steals instead of coming away looking like Dennis Rodman's stylist.

    Good deals!

    I've been a supporter of Stitch & Feather for years. I used to live much closer to one of their…read morestores and shopped there often. The staff was always so friendly, and I always had a great experience. I moved farther away a while ago, so I hadn't purchased from them in some time. When I recently checked out their website, I was impressed by how much they had to offer online. My order shipped quickly, the quality was exactly what I remembered, and what really stood out was their incredible customer service. I ordered a size that ended up being too small because it was the only size available online at the time. I was hoping it would work, but unfortunately it didn't. I emailed their customer service explaining the situation and noticed the larger size wasn't available online, but it was showing as available at one of their store locations. Their team went above and beyond. They were able to transfer that size so it could be purchased online, making the exchange process incredibly easy. Once I returned the original item, I received a full refund, including my shipping costs. That level of customer service is hard to find these days. Stitch & Feather truly went above and beyond, and it's one of the many reasons I'll continue to support them. A1 customer service--I can't recommend them enough!

The outfit suggestions they put together are always super cute and help take the guesswork out of matching pieces. The customer service is impeccable, and Izzy especially always goes above and beyond. She's incredibly personable, easy to work with, and has an amazing eye for putting looks together. She always gives great styling suggestions and somehow manages to recommend pieces I wouldn't normally pick for myself but end up loving. She really makes the whole experience feel personalized and effortless. The styles are always great, they get new arrivals every Tuesday, and every visit feels like a VIP shopping experience. Definitely one of my favorite places to shop.

    I reached out on Yelp asking multiple jewelers about medium thick chains for memorial necklaces…read moresince we want something durable. Guy from Jeweler's Touch stood out in his quick responses and helpfulness. When we arrived that evening to speak to someone, Brandon was amazing. He was friendly, super patient, and explained everything. He understood how difficult it was to look for rose gold chains, especially when thicker too. I was super indecisive and he gave me all the time in the world to look through their gold book which had all kinds of designs and thickness scaled to life size so I could place my pendant on it to imagine how it would look. He also brought out samples of chain types as I picked out ones to see if I'd like the look in person. He ended up finding an estate gold chain that looked absolutely perfect for my husband's pendant in shine and style. We tried it for a few days (they give you 30 days hassle-free) and my husband knew it wasn't the right length of style for his personal preference and our tuggy toddlers within one day. It was gorgeous and I wished it worked out, but maybe not for us. We came back a few days later after Christmas Eve and Brandon helped me out again with the return and gave me suggestions for the length of my husband's necklace based on preference. I saw people coming in and out during the two times I went and I see why. These people are amazing, patient, knowledgeable, super friendly and not pushy at all. They want to help make happy customers who are looking for that perfect jewelry. Although we are still on the search for the "perfect" chain for each of us (we are not major jewelry people but need this to be just right for us in every way), I appreciate the help that Jeweler's Touch gave and would recommend them for anyone looking for a custom piece or specific jewelry services.

I've found some pretty neat items like a good collared denim button up shirt and even a flight suit for an upcoming themed event. The store is organized by type of clothing (e.g. menswear, jackets, formal or evening wear) and color. Shoes, kids' books, and home decor can be found in the back and there's even a sweet little treasure chest where your little ones can pick out a toy for free! Full Circle also offers promotions depending on what day you pop by, like "color of the week Wednesdays" and "frame and art Fridays." There's usually only one associate in the store, but I've had good experiences from different people the times I've gone. I love the messaging and giving back to the community! There is free coffee at the door and a table where you can anonymously write prayer requests. Just another reason to keep coming back!
