Jill "Champagne Supernova" M.'s Profile
Hi, I'm Jill, and I'm a Shopaholic
See All Lists
1. Sephora
I'm a big Sephora fan, have been to stores in other cities and regularly troll their website drooling over the latest eyeshadows and hair products. So you can imagine my delight when I found out one was FINALLY opening in Halifax.
I wish it had…More »
2. Biscuit General Store
Halifax, NS B3J 2B5
(902) 425-5436
Categories:
Accessories,
Women's Clothing,
Men's Clothing
Biscuit is one of the most popular stores in Halifax, and rightly so. They have cool, different stock and it's on of my favorite places to shop.
I find it a little hit and miss. Sometimes I go and want to buy the whole store, other times I visit and…More »
3. Pretty Things Boutique
If I were cooler and richer than I actually am, I would dress myself in clothes from Pretty Things 100% of the time.
Instead, I've had to settle for owning only a couple of key items. But oh man, do I love them.
I think my favorite thing about the…More »
4. Crimson Clover
I guess "I'm mad because this store makes me wish I was rollin' in the dough" isn't a legitimate complaint. (I'm pretty sure there's a good parody of Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" somewhere in here...)
OK, but seriously guys? So. Many. Pretty. Things.…More »
5. Sock It To Ya
OK, so this isn't exactly a place I'd go to buy basic socks. But when I'm looking for a sharp-looking new pair of tights (or whatever word it is you say for tights - stockings, hosiery, whatever) I head here.
There are so many colors, patterns and…More »
6. Freak Lunchbox
If you don't love the Freak Lunchbox you must not love candy...and then I'm not sure if I can love you.
Jelly Bellies? Retro candy? BRITISH candy? All the bulk candy you can think of before falling into a sugar-induced coma?
Love, love, love.
7. Duly Noted Stationery
Who would have thought it was possible to spend so much time and money in such a tiny store?
Don't let Duly Noted fool you - it's small, but mighty. I could spend hours in this place picking out cards for the next three year's worth of birthdays,…More »
8. Pete's Frootique and European Delicatessen
I love a lot of things about Pete's.
--Smoothies, salad, sandwiches and everything else in the to-go section.
-- Delicious, fresh produce
--A cool deli section that sells things like risotto balls (mmm!) and quiches and such.
--Neat European speciality…More »
9. Boutique Joliette
Halifax, NS B3J 1W6
(902) 405-4057
Categories:
Women's Clothing,
Used, Vintage & Consignment,
Jewellery
Everyone loves this place, right? I finally got around to popping in, and now I understand what all the fuss is about.
For me, the best things are the vintage items in the back of the store. The newer stuff is cute, but felt a tad overpriced. But oh…More »
10. The Body Shop
You know what? I freakin' love The Body Shop, and I'll give you five reasons why.
1. Eco-friendly, no animal-testing and all that jazz.
Enough said, right?
2. The Tea Tree Line
I have crazy sensitive skin and have tried tons of products throughout my…More »
11. Liquid Gold Tasting Bar & All Things Olive
If you like olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and baguette, then this is a place for you. If you don't well, then I don't know what to make of you.
Liquid Gold is THE PLACE to buy olive oil and balsamic in Halifax. There are so many tasty, interesting…More »
12. Black Market Boutique
The Black Market has been in Halifax basically as long as I've been shopping without my mom with me, and I feel like the store has matured right along with me.
When I was younger, it was all about incense, millions of bangles and quirky clothes. But…More »
13. Premier Wine and Spirits
Premier Wine and Spirits is definitely meant for a classier, richer person than myself, so take my review with a grain of salt.
The store offers a lot of interesting wines, beers and ciders - many at prices that I'd want to get, say, four bottles of…More »
14. Chapters
Yeah yeah, big chain stores are evil. I know. But I'm weak. I have been lured in by Chapters' amazing deals, their great gifts section, and their Starbucks. Plus, they have a website. And on that website, you can order lots of shiny, pretty books…More »
15. Halifax Seaport Farmers Market
OK, let's get this out of the way first - I did really like the original market in the Keith's brewery. I was a longtime fan and frequented it often. But y'all? I'm all about the Seaport now.
It's so easy to navigate, I can inspect produce easier…More »
16. Atlantic News
If you're a voracious magazine reader like I am, then you need to pay a visit to Atlantic News. The only thing that could make me happier than wandering around this store browsing through dozens of interesting mags would be if I could actually afford…More »
17. Pseudio
Shockingly, I've never tried on jeans at Pseudio. But after reading some fellow Yelpers' reviews, I'll probably be in later this week.
No, my poison tends to be short, flirty floral dresses. I own a million of them, and most of them came from…More »
18. Downtown Digital
I've never purchased anything from Greenlyph, but oh man can I vouch for their repairs. My laptop contains my entire life (and I suck at remembering to back up my files) so I panicked on the dark day when I was greeted with the Blue Screen Of Death.…More »
19. Love, Me
I, personally, am not crafty. Not one bit. But I appreciate those who do have an artistic flair, which is why I love peaking into Love, Me to see what's there from our cool local artists.
I've gotten things like cool, quirky jewelry and awesome…More »
20. Mic Mac Mall
Instead of writing about a particular food court destination for today's Yelpspiration review, I'm just going to go ahead and say that Mic Mac Mall has a much better food court than the Halifax Shopping Centre.
And you know what? Almost everything…More »
