“My daughter is getting married in Italy this Sept. I had a delightful afternoon shopping for a dress at Helen Ainson. Cory was very attentive and patiently encouraged me to try outfits I never would have without her support and she made the whole process fun! I found the perfect elegant dress for an outdoor Tuscan wedding. Large selection of sizes and prices. Highly recommend this shop for everyday and special event shopping.”

“Sokayri Atelier with Helena, Miriam and their team have helped us several times for formal events and we feel lucky to have found them. The first time was for my daughter’s wedding where they fitted and customized the gown to fit the bride perfectly. At first I didn’t think the gown was the right fit for my daughter, although it was beautiful. But this team finds no problem too difficult seems and they waved their magic wands and made the gown a perfect for. Glorious! For the Mother of the Bride gown it was of utmost importance to allow ventilation as the wedding was to take place in Barbados . Helena made sure extra vents were created and in addition they solved the issue of my upper arms looking far bigger than the big they already were. They shaped the wide straps into a clever design that was utterly flattering. I loved it.
The third time I came for help was for a very formal wedding where I got the utter dream of wearing a Carolina Herrera ball gown. The Sokayri team problem solved to perfection and I felt perfectly at home and at ease . We shortened the train a little and shortened the entire skirt part, which was no small feat because the pattern was at the bottom of the skirt, as I’m 5’5” and the gown built for tall models. I couldn’t believe how they just made the impossible not only possible but doable. I’m deeply grateful. Thank you team. I give them my highest recommendations.”

“Our shopping experience this evening was truly exceptional. Bob went above and beyond to help my husband find the perfect winter jacket for his cold commute and outdoor adventures with our infant daughter. What made the visit extraordinary was Bob’s incredible kindness towards our daughter, who had fallen in love with a plush owl toy. When she became distraught about leaving the toy behind, Bob generously gifted it to her, touching our hearts and turning a potential meltdown into a moment of pure joy.
The Barbour jacket we selected will keep my husband warm through the winter, but the real warmth came from Bob’s unexpected act of compassion. We are deeply grateful and inspired to pay this kindness forward. We will absolutely be back to this store location again for all of our outdoor needs. Thank you, Bob and team!”

“Great place all can be welcome for any race or gender for shopping. It’s a higher price on the side but you get nice service from the staff. This place is a local landmark, if you can not make it to the mall stop by for a nice sweater before a date night or when my family needs a quick gift”

“I had a fantastic experience at Pure Barre! The class with Kimberly was incredibly challenging in the best way — exactly what I was hoping for. The teacher leading the session was amazing; she pushed us to give it our all while still offering great support and encouragement throughout. Her cues were clear, her energy was motivating, and she made sure to provide helpful adjustments when needed. I left feeling strong and sore (in a good way!). Highly recommend this studio and class if you’re looking to be challenged and supported at the same time!”

“I LOVE shopping at Whim!! Not only do they have a great selection of merchandise, but the staff is always warm and inviting, like I’ve stepped into their home. It’s like having my own personal shopper. I have shopped at many other local retailers and always go back to Whim. Keep up the GREAT work....SHOP LOCAL!!!”
