Wheeeee! I asked Santa for a hula hoop last year and he forgot so I was really excited when I heard that this store had hula hoops. I follow their facebook page and every day more shots of fun outfits were getting posted. I had to get down there!

I'm really surprised by Vanessa's review.  Certainly this has never been my experience.  Today I went in wearing a white cotton sundress and I've never gone in wearing anything even close to the pieces I've bought but have always been treated like a…More »

If you're looking for cool, hip fashions that aren't run-of-the-mill or overpriced then you should check out Hitz Boutique.  They used to be on Robson St. and I bought my first pair of Vans (black patent no less) there.  Now they're in Gastown so…More »

I am really impressed!  My teenage daughter asked if we could get her fitted for a bra as she wasn't sure what size she was.  When I checked on yelp I was convinced by Tina H's review that this was the place for us.  It was definitely the right…More »

Well my hubby bought me the necklace that I coveted without even knowing.  Clearly we were meant to be together. : )  When I just showed him my review with the picture he mentioned that he'd ordered it online and it showed up two days later.  He was…More »

If you're into punk/goth/fetish/lolita styles you should check out Flaming Angels Boutique.  It's a small store at the back of The Fall Tattoo and Piercing on Seymour across from The Bay.  There are some really cute clothes that you could wear any…More »

I've been here many times but last weekend the owner Heidi (at least I think she's the owner) was working. What a lovely woman!

We were getting fun contacts before the Zombie Walk and she was so helpful in deciding which would have the most impact…More »

It's a small store but I like the simple lay-out and organised feel of it. It's a quiet store but the staff are helpful when you need them. They always ask us if we need any help with anything.

The prices aren't bad and it's in my neighbourhood so…More »

Super cute store!  I thought it was going to focus more on Jeans but they've got a pretty wide range of styles and even some costume stuff.  My daughter needed jeans and at 13 she's pretty particular about what she's looking for.  I got momentarily…More »

Fine for your average bras and cute knickers. If you want something frisky for the boudoir you won't break the bank here. They always have a sale going.

This place would be awesome if I had an amazing body. I don't and the lighting in the change area is awful so it really isn't fun to try stuff on there.

You can always find great deals on swimsuits - like fun bikinis for $14! They have great cover up…More »

I don't have tattoos or any piercings other than the regular ear piercings my friend's dad gave me when I was thirteen. (Somehow having a landscape architect pierce your ears seemed sensible - I knew he'd get them lined up evenly.) Regardless I like…More »
