The ladies here have helped me find everything from an everyday bra to a strapless bra for wedding…read more I have never felt rushed, even when the process took longer than I would have hoped. I have even left here and then realized that she was suppose to close 30 minutes prior. Still, I never knew because all she did was help me find something I was over the moon happy with. On top of the amazing customer service, the little shop is so cute and chock full of great finds. They have every kind of bra, lingerie, candles, stockings, even some clothes. Yes, it can be a bit more expensive than the more typical VS, but the quality is far better and the customer service is unmatched. You'll absolutely walk out with the best piece for you. I'll be going back soon for sure!

When I lived in Hoboken this was my fave addiction. From the moment you open the door you are…read moresummoned by the most romantic scent you have ever smelled. Thanks in part to the candles that are for sale. Honestly. My all time favorite candles are sold at this boutique. The array of lingerie is a dream. They also have beautiful clothing. One of my favorite, luxurious sweaters was purchased here. This is the most sexy, romantic store your guy could ever give you a gift from. Feel free to give yourself a lovely piece from the store. Honestly when I would receive gifts from Galatea the smell from the store would fill the air as I unwrapped my present. It has been some time since I have had a pleasure to visit. I am thinking of making a special trip to the area just for this reason. I am giving this place 5 stars only because 6 was not available. Galatea I adore you, your atmosphere, your aroma, your lovely sales people, the owner, your beautiful lingerie and clothing. Oh how I miss you. PROS: A beautiful selection of lingerie and clothing. Items are well made. The store is very inviting. The staff at Galatea are sweet, warm and genuine. They have the best candles ever. The price range is so that everyone can afford something. Anything that you purchase will be well worth it! The owner has a great eye for style, hence, the reason the selection is terrific. Some basic lines carried are Casabella, Only Hearts, Hanky Panky, 3Dots, Ling and sooo much more!!! When you walk into this you will appreciate how beautiful it is to be a woman! When you leave you will want to come back.

I was familiar with Ellen Stagg's photography but was not sure she did male boudoir photography…read more Much to my relief she did and does. I could not be happier with the process and the results. She was calm and assuring during the shoot; used natural light to flatter my physique and coloring; and had a wonderful eye when composing photos. Could not be happier with the results! Only question I have is why I waited so darn long to do it!

I had Ellen do my fiance & my engagement announcement pictures and they came out amazing. We told…read moreher the vibe we were looking for and she took us to a few locations to get different looks that worked out perfectly. The entire experience was very professional yet fun and a pleasure from start to finish. Ellen really captured us in our most natural light and created some pictures which we are using as gifts for our close friends. One of the things I like best is that our personalities really came through in the photos, something I can not say for every photographer. I highly recommend using her for any photos where you want a personal yet professional touch that captures you in the best light.

The clothes are beautiful and unique, always catering to trends while able to add their own person twist. I would recommend this for anyone in hoboken especially if you are visiting!

Their prices are quite reasonable and street parking is relatively nearby. A bird told me the upstairs has some naughty stuff up there so keep your kids outside or on the first floor lol. Reasonable prices too.

East West is a great head shop. They have some really intricate and beautifully designed glassware…read moreand modestly priced practical pieces as well. I remember a few years back I went to a place called East West Novelty in Long Island and found some really intricate and durable glass. Apparently, this was opened up by the same management. The staff throughout (there are two floors) are pretty friendly and bursting with energy. The second floor is where the glass is housed, along with a ton of sex toys/accessories. East West also offers an array of skater themed clothing, posters, and accessories. The only place I've found in Hudson/Bergen county that sells sand bag hackey sacks (without those weird beads inside). Things are modestly priced here and they have pretty interesting little nicknacks. Like Spencer's without all the Twilight. All in all, its one of the better smoke shops on this side of the Hudson.

Working with Chrissie / Pied Beauty Studios was an incredible experience, and I highly recommend…read moreher to anyone who is looking for custom-made clothing! I worked with Chrissie to create my dream wedding outfit, and she delivered something that was truly better than I could have imagined. I felt so beautiful and had so much fun wearing it! I got so many compliments from friends and family, and I felt truly like myself. I came to Chrissie with a pretty clear vision of the overall look I wanted to achieve, but with many unresolved details. Chrissie started by creating detailed sketches that pulled together my wishlist into something beautiful and unified. She created a muslin "draft" of the outfit first, and in a session in her studio she built out the garment on my body while we talked through different decisions. She even made the pant legs in two different styles, so I could decide which direction to take! She also pulled fabric samples and found the perfect colors and lace patterns. She even met with me at a fabric store so that we could look at and buy the cloth together. The process of building the outfit in the satin/silk happened across a few sessions, and Chrissie made sure to get every detail just right. Throughout the process, Chrissie was a joy to work with. She made the process so fun and put me at ease. She was always attentive and listened to my questions and ideas, and helped shape my ideas into something beautiful and real. For anyone who doesn't see themselves in a traditional wedding dress, but wants to feel incredible on their wedding day, I cannot recommend working with Chrissie enough!
