I just stopped by looking for a birthday gift to surprise my friend with, and I was eyeing the most fabulous green heels ever !! I was so torn because I wasn't sure if they'd fit her or not, and Carol was so incredibly accommodating and even thought of a plan of action for what we could do if the shoes don't end up fitting, so I went home with a beautiful new pair of shoes that I'm sure my friend is going to love!! Super helpful staff and I am eternally grateful for their willingness to help every single time I come into their store

I've been coming here for about 10 years and it's a delight every time! I never leave empty-handed because if I'm not shopping for a fun gift, I'm finding a quirky hairclip or cool earrings for myself.
