Upstairs Boutique & Gift

Yep - I'll concur with Helena B...Upstairs is adorably random. If you seek a cornucopia of gifty,…read morecute-ish items, Upstairs Boutique is your jam. The store is owned by a lovely lady who curates goods from all over. I was especially a fan of the leather cuffs accented by metal rings and the completely over the top cute stitched change purses with random sayings plastered on them. At $5 a piece, these precious little change purses are the perfect on-hand gift. My personal fave it the red and goldenrod circus-esque option that says Boss Lady on one side and "Show Em The Bacon That Yer Makin" on the other. Beyond those goodies, Upstairs Boutique has a small selection of clothing and a baby/kids area near the back. If you're feeling gifty, drop by Upstairs Boutique.

Very disappointing experience. The lady who runs the shop is rather arrogant, and she has…read morerestrictive store hours if you are a working person. I purchased an item at the shop a few years ago, and after getting the thumbs down from my daughter, I returned it, only to be handed a useless piece of paper--a store credit. I am very good about recalling details and do not remember receiving verbal notice about "store credit only returns" nor do I recall being told the store credit is only good for one year. I just literally handed that woman $55 for absolutely nothing while being forced to honor her shoddy business practices. In this day and age with wonderful selections and store policies, elsewhere, I don't see how she continues this narrow and unethical business practice. Her clothing/gift selection is certainly nothing special, so you'd be wiser, in this case, to not shop local.

Charisma

For years, my wife would find clothing and accessories at a store called A La Mode in Arlington…read moreHeights. First when they were on Northwest Highway and now at their location on Campbell Street. The same ownership opened a sister store a few doors down on Campbell called Charisma. A La Mode is still great, but I have found so many gifts for her at Charisma because I think it caters more towards a mature woman (trying to be PC here). My most recent experience was a Christmas gift for my wife. The store was locked, but I knew A La Mode was related, so I went in and asked for help. As has happened in the past, they cheerfully opened it and helped me with my task. I have often dealt with the daughter and she has great taste and an enthusiastic customer service spirit. I described what I was looking for and she had a few suggestions, but nothing hit. I noticed a display and she found the size I was looking for and it was an instance success. She even said the blue would work well with my wife's eyes. (so cool she remembers her). My wife says I never have given her a gift from Charisma that she hasn't loved, and this was no exception. In a time where we are click happy to quickly make a purchase and have it delivered to our home, it's such a good feeling to have special attention, someone to bounce ideas off of and have more of a value added experience through great customer service. If you're a guy, don't be intimidated because they will listen and help. Even if your wife's eyes are brown.

And the group behind the register literally couldn't be bothered to stop chatting to ring me up when I found something. They pretty much just refuse to acknowledge there is another human being in the store. Selection is decent, but it's a really frustrating shopping experience. I will only buy here if I can't find it online or elsewhere.

I spent a lot of time shopping at the Eileen Fisher Company Store. It had always been a pleasant…read moreexperience, so I was shocked at my recent visit. The sales associates used to put the clothes I collected to try on in a dressing room for me. I walked that store for at least half hour without a single sales associate approaching me even though there were 3 or 4 at the register talking and no other customers in the store. Once in the dressing room, not one sales associate approached to see if I needed a different size or if they could remove items from the dressing room, something that would have happened in the past. I checked out, spending about $400, on 3 items. Normally, I would keep my items on the hanger but that's not an option anymore unless you want a drycleaner wire hanger. Unfortunately, my story doesn't end there. When I got home, I discovered I had been charged $59 for a tee shirt that was clearly marked $49. I returned to the store the next day with the tee shirt and receipt and explained what happened. Instead of 'I am very sorry that happened, let me take care of that for you', the women made me feel like I had come to rob the store. After double and triple checking, I received my credit. I never received an apology, just a look of why I would bother for $11. Will I shop at the Eileen Fisher Company Store again? Yes. Will I expect customer service? No. Will I check my receipt? Definitely?
