But those of you who have a couple extra pennies (or benjamins, whatever) in your pocket, I highly recommend the short trip to Rue St. Paul (Snelling, yo) to buy some ultra-swank French Connection dresses, vintage earrings, and bad-ass 40s-style pumps.

They had some truly humorous items in the store, and their buyer must have a great sense of humor. Enjoyed the number of gift items to pick from.

I really loved the feminist rage + quirky vibes of this store, and there were so many things I thought were fun (for me) or would make good gifts (for me, but also for other people). I got some adorable earrings and a hat! They have a hat bar, where you pick a hat and then pick patches to put on it. Then they cover the patches in a heat-protecting film, and put them wherever you want them.

I have been wanting to get anklets and add another bracelet to the one I already have but due to needing to have surgeries this year I have to wait a bit longer before committing to more permanent jewelry.

The front staff helped explain the aftercare and guided me through picking my stud. They had a LOT of jewelry to choose from. Since I knew id have to keep this initial piercing in my nose for nearly a year, I opted for something simple. I would definitely go back later to get one of their more unique pieces of jewelry, though. My piercer, Kalei, was professional and friendly. She made sure to explain the piercing process and in no time I had my nose pierced! It's been about 6 weeks and my nose appears to be healing great I will come back to Electric Strawberry when I'm ready to swap it out for a new piece. The one negative was even with an appointment, the wait time was a little long as they appeared to have a lot of walk-ins.

It was incredibly easy to book an appointment, and their website was really helpful - I got to read about each piercer, look at jewelry options, and got a lot of piercing FAQ. The day of my appointment, I walked in and immediately knew I chose the right place. The shop is clean and unique, and I immediately felt my butterflies ease up. The front desk staff member that checked me in was incredibly helpful, going over the paperwork and helping me pick jewelry. I'd arrived a little bit early but only waited a few minutes before Jo took me back. She explained the process and then it was time to get pierced. Although piercing pain is a bit different than tattoo pain, Jo was quick and efficient. I'm incredibly happy with my entire experience and would highly recommend Electric Strawberry for anyone in the market for a piercing.

They have a good range of sizes, but you'll definitely be more successful if you're a size large and under. Prices are fair for the quality you're buying.

Note for those with motility issues: there is a lower level that's only accessible by stairs (shoes, sales section, and vintage is located down there).

If you enjoy digging for a good deal, you can find absolute gems as bargains hit heavy as the seasons change or if you find an item that has been out on the shelves for a couple of months. The lower level carries items up to 75% off. From sunglasses to formal wear to jackets, Encore has it all and deserves an encore standing ovation with every visit. On my most recent visit, I was able to snag a pair of ADORABLE black Coach boots for half off ringing my total to a perfect $46. In addition, I found both Columbia and Sperry snow boots in the lower level allowing me to save 75% off on both pairs. I can't wait to see what I discover on my next visit. Thank you, Encore!!

I am totally used to it. BUT, if you are average size or slender...hit it up. Seems to be great pricing too. Everyone I have encountered who works there seems very down to Earth.
