This store is like Disneyland for people who love beading! The selection is beyond amazing here…read more You definitely need time to explore the store. Do not come here if you are in a rush and have a limited amount of time. I came here specifically to check out the beads made of semi precious stones. I had some ideas of what I wanted to buy before coming to the store. However, I left with more items than I initially planned. I found the products were clearly labelled with the type of beads, size of beads and prices. The store was well organized. I didn't have any difficulty finding what I was looking for. However, I did go around the store a few times to make sure I saw most things at least once. This store is jam packed! They have all the supplies you need to make beaded jewellery. For example, they sell different kinds of string, glue, jewellery findings and tools for jewellery making. They also have a random selection of costume jewellery, socks, purses, wallets, embroidery, sage, essential oils, books and so much more! This store had larger selection of beads than what you would find at a big box craft store. I found the prices pretty reasonable. I will definitely be back here when I need more supplies!

Making bead necklaces was a huge hobby for me years ago. Lately, I have been wanting to get back…read moreinto it. However, it can be difficult - and expensive - to find beads, charms, pendants, and all of the findings (the parts needed to put everything together, like clasps). Then I discovered Bead World. Beadmaking is not just for hippies anymore. This store is huge on the inside and features several rooms of charms, strings of beads made from different materials like glass or stone, ribbons and strings with clasps already attached (just add charms), and even a small selection of wallets, purses, and pre-made jewelry. The charms and pendants are incredible. There is a huge selection of religious ones for Christians and Buddhists, ones for sports, ones made from fimo clay, and even ones from Swarovski crystal. Many are from the Shag Wear designer line. I bemoaned the lack of Stars of David, but otherwise had to exert a great deal of self control. I got one horizontal fimo charm, a string of beads that look different than anything I own, and a bag of jump loops (used to connect pendants to a necklace). The prices are much lower than any other bead store I have visited and the selection is better. I am inspired and will be back.

Dots is interesting - it's a liquidation store with mostly clothing but also random liquidation…read more(think AEcor Urban Outfitters sassy books/novelties). Located just south of the Edmonton city cemetery and literally behind (north) of Oliver Square. It can be a little tricky to find the first time. I have friends that have found some fabulous treasures here in the clothing liquidations but I haven't found that hidden Easter Egg yet. The layout is kinda like a thrift store but way less organized. You need time when you come here to sort and sift through the garbage to find the gems. Also, sign up for their email online for advance notice of sales and coupons. It's a fun little liquidation warehouse but it could be improved significantly with better organization and layout.

Unexpectedly awesome wee store. It's full of designer stuff with up to 80% off. Rains and rains of…read moreclothes at bargain prices. My husband loved the mens shoe section. I was in to the wallets and sunglasses more than anything, so many styles and so cheap. I always break my sunglasses or lose them, so I'm always on the look out for a low cost fashion pair of shades.

This stop I walked out with an incredible cat sweatshirt and long sleeve dress that looks like an adult version of my catholic uniform in grade school. The winter jackets they had in were so vintage awesome. I love that this store is so unique and different from everything else.

There is such a cool sale going on at this location!! Crazy, crazy sale, I mean seriously! I think…read morethis location has been turned into a liquidation hub. So it won't last forever, wink wink. Lots of new items weekly. Most items are $10 or less. Lots of sections that are 5/$10, including most of their jewelry, hats, scarves and those neat surprise bags, Hello! There's also a 3/$15 section with purses and hand bags. I got a bunch of my Christmas presents here last month. And I have since been back a couple times now, I love their socks hahaha.

This is probably the biggest Ardene location I've yet visited. There's so much clothing here. When…read moreI was younger, I don't recall Ardene being a clothing store but rather focusing on accessories, but they definitely had a lot of ugly Christmas sweaters when I visited recently. I didn't buy anything: I was too overwhelmed by the volume of stuff for sale here, even though some of the items were close to what I was seeking. I reconsidered and decided not to purchase anything after browsing. But there were lots of deals on items there and I imagine it would be a good place to visit if I needed inexpensive themed party apparel etc.

It's not in an area that I pass by often but I has an appointment nearby and as I was parking I spotted the sign. Luckily I was 20 mins early, giving me the perfect place to kill time! The store is underneath some apartments but tokes over half of the ground level by the looks of it. A fantastic big space, filled from top to bottom with vintage treasures. The owner does a great job creating cute corners highlighting furniture, decor, ornaments and clothing. I immediately wished I had more time to browse! The clothing is divided into rails of amazing dresses from the Victorian era and more. The underskirt section was unreal and made me wanna dress like a steam punk to my meeting. So cool. Lots of eclectic and romantic bits for a vintage wedding. Just wonderful.

They cater to the style of the urban working woman, carrying items from professional business attire to formal evening wear. Everything is exquisite and beautiful, and it's also reflected in the price. If I were the average customer there though (i.e. a more mature woman with an established career), I suppose I would be able to afford it. They also carry jewelry, shoes, bags, and accessories like belts and hosiery. You'll be able to put together a whole outfit or two for work at one shop!

They also usually have cocktail and longer dresses as well as shoes, jackets and accessories. I love this shop, I just can't afford much in it! They do have some very reasonably priced jackets though and their shoes tend to be affordable. Everything in here is beautiful, very tailored and of the moment. I really love their jeans and found a really cool black pair of skinny jeans with black shiny accents of leather on the back pockets. Now I just have to save some pennies so I can go back and get them! Thankfully they are very good about putting items on hold.

Love LOVE love me some Sweet Boutique!…read more I've been shopping here since the days of parking lot chaos at their first location. Sweet Boutique recently celebrated their 5th birthday! I love their new location on St. Albert Trail next to BP's. (I think it's been almost 3 years here?) From their live WIW (Win It Wednesday) Facebook streams to their name of the day discount, Sweet Boutique knows how to court their regulars. They've got it all, from the softest leggings on the planet to the best jeans for every body type! I love that Sweet Boutique has something to help every woman feel her best. They even have something for the men in your life. Last year, I got sassy and funky dress socks for my kids' male teachers. The customer service is second to none and the vibe is cozy chic from the moment you walk through the door. Be sure to sign up for their free loyalty program to earn rewards!

They have a wide selection of sizes, from XSmall to 3X. I'm about a size 24/3X and some of their 3X items are almost too big on me, which always makes me smile. The staff treats me with the same respect they give small to average size women, which in my experience doesn't happen often in a plus/regular mix size store. Along with clothing, they have accessories, fun items like socks and sweets, and a wall of personal care items like bath bombs, body cream, hand sanitizer, and aromatherapy. The owner, Laura, is an amazing member of the community who supports other small businesses and brought joy to my family at a rough time when we were missing a loved one. She wasn't asked, she just offered and we will always be thankful to her for her act of kindness.
