Bottom Line: Great fashions, lovely displays and a friendly staff but not quite a bargain…read more The J. Crew Factory Outlet is on the north end of the Tanger Outlet Center in Nags Head. The store offers men's and women's fashions as well as "Crew Cuts" clothing for children. Overall, the store is very attractive and any time I've been in its been well organized. There is a wide variety of items here from screen print tees to dresses for date night. The outlet is definitely less expensive than the regular, full price store but I didn't feel like I got any bargains here. For example, the shirt I purchased was $52. A similar shirt at the Banana Republic Outlet would probably cost me about $40. Plain gray little girls leggings were about $18 and similar leggings at Gymboree would be about $8. The staff here was very nice. I didn't need too much help but from my limited questions and some conversations I overhead they seemed very customer service oriented. Something I learned on my most recent visit is that you can actually shop the outlet online now. I guess that makes sense since many retailers are looking to capture a new market by offering products at a lower price point and online sales are a must.

I remember the early days, when Gray's was on the beach road in that old cinderblock building. Mom…read morewould shop while my brother and I played with the tom-toms and other toys conveniently located under the many racks of clothes. It was good times! Last June, on our anniversary, my hubby and I slipped down to the beach and stopped in, it's been over 50 years now. We bought six items of clothing, and I'm super pleased with all of them. The sweats for me (lovely willow color with a zippered crop top) look great on me, they're soft and wash well. I've worn the black cropped knit sweater many times, it really dresses me up. The hubster got three sweat shirts, and they all fit REALLY well. Not too snug, not too baggy. They look good, feel good, and wash well. We've planned a little day trip to the coast to add more of these quality clothes to our wardrobe.

The Boathouse is adorable shop in New Bern, NC. I spent the last day of my birthday weekend in this…read morecharming little town wondering through all the cute shops. This shop had a lovely window display with a sailboat that brought me into the store. There are so many cool things to check out. From skulls, to pirate lamps, and of course boats! If you have a nautical-theme anywhere in your home you will find a treasure to add to your collection! I found the blue sailboat which I fell in love with before I even walked into the store. It was $49, which I thought was a little pricey. But the painting detail was amazing and I loved the colors of blue and green. Plus it was the day before my birthday so I bought myself a gift lol! And it looks great on my home! If you're ever in the New Bern area you must stop by and check out The Boathouse. Even if you don't find something to purchase you will enjoy browsing all of the items in the store!

They have hats, t-shirts, build-your-own ships in a bottle, signal flags, nautical charts, throw pillows and more. My favorite was the colored glass prisms used to bring light onto the lower decks of boats. I had only seen them in blue, but the Boathouse had several other colors. The old nautical charts are interesting as well, and make you appreciate the old-school way of charting the seas. Once you've finished relaxing or fishing on your boat tour, then stop by here to recapture the moment.

The set up of the store is easy to shop in, clothes are very organized, and sale display is easy to read.

The Banana Republic outlet opened in the Nags Head Tanger outlet center in Fall 2015. Overall, I feel this store offers a good value and I would summarize my visits as follows: - cute fashions for ladies that are modern but still classy - men's fashions ranging from preppy to metro with a tad of hipster - often everything in store is 40% off, more during holidays - customer service is average As most people are aware, outlets are typically not seconds or past season items anymore - rather they are items specifically manufactured for outlets and that is what you'll find here. For example, that $110 silk blouse you saw at the Banana Republic store at the mall will be at the outlet for $60 (plus 40% off) but be made of polyester instead.

Shoppers walk along decking and boardwalks to access the shops. Also, there are different buildings within the shopping center so that adds some interest too. My favorite shops here are The Cottage Shop, Sound Feet Shoes and The Cotton Gin. In addition to shops there are also a handful of restaurants and eateries. And behind the shopping center is a race track and miniature golf course. Timbuck II includes some other business too like a massage place and a real estate office.
