Rockville Shopping: Check Out Trendy Rockville Fashion at Cloud 9 in Rockville Town Center

August 22, 2010 By B Leave a Comment

One of the many stores that Rockville Town Center has to offer (and the only clothing store for young women) is Cloud 9, a little boutique between Giffords and Five Guys. If you are ever in the mood to indulge, Cloud 9 carries a wide variety of moderately-priced casual dresses, some evening dresses, some jeans, Free People (!!!!!!!!!!!!), cute blouse-y tops, and a small selection for guys. The one thing i would definitely recommend above all else is their jewelry section near the cash register. They have a pretty nice selection of costume jewelry like long, dangle chains with pendants, bracelets, earrings, headbands, purses, wallets, sunglasses and more. The style of jewelry is very similar to the jewelry sold in Brass Plum, Forever 21, and Urban Outfitters— bohemian, young, and hippy-ish.

To give you an idea, I COULD see these being sold in Cloud 9:

Anyways, the only complaint (It wouldn’t be a post without a complaint, right?) i have is that the employees there aren’t too friendly or personable. I came in there once because i spent a chunk of change on this watch necklace and it wasn’t working. I asked the employee for help and they kind of just shrugged it off, didn’t even try to help. Resentment.

Rockville Shopping: Hudson Trail Outfitters Rockville— For Your Hiking Needs

August 22, 2010 By B Leave a Comment

Need hiking boots? camping packs? rock climbing gear? Well recently i had to get some hiking boots for my trip to the Grand Canyon. First i stopped at DSW off of Old Georgetown Road… as you read in one of my previous posts, i had no luck. Women just don’t hike (sarcasm). Then, i made my way down the treacherous Rockville Pike and stopped at the Hudson Trail Outfitters, figuring that they MUST have hiking boots. And well, they did.

It was my first time ever going into the store, and i’ll tell you now, if i ever needed a tent, a sleeping bag, or anything outdoorsy then i would definitely return again. The service is nice, and knowledgeable. The only real complaints i had were that the store was way overcrowded with stuff, making it very overwhelming at times. And the second would be that they only had two cash registers, and like 20 people in line. But other than that, it was a neat store; they even had a simulated rock trail to test your hiking boots on… i thought that was pretty cool. So yeah, not much to write. They have everything you would expect… hats, clothing, men’s outerwear, women’s outerwear, first aid supplies, biking gear, books, knives and tools, travel gear, lanterns etc etc etc.

Bethesda Shopping: Get Your Bethesda Shopping Fix at BP in Nordstrom Montgomery Mall

August 10, 2010 By B 1 Comment

The Nordstrom in Montgomery Mall Bethesda is pretty limited in its selection of clothes. The Bethesda department store consists of three floors: the top floor houses all the designer brand names such as Juicy Couture, Free People (!!!!!), Michael Kors, and True Religion Jeans, the middle floor holds your cosmetics and jewelry, women’s shoes, men’s shoes and fashion, and the first floor contains women’s underwear, some women’s clothing, children’s clothing and shoes, a food cafe (random), and a Juniors section or brand (or whatever it is considered as) called BP or Brass Plum. Basically, here is where you will find Bethesda fashion for young women and teens for an affordable price. In one section, they sell trendy, name-brand shoes such as gladiators and wedges in the Spring and Summer, and now, as of recently, an assortment of boots, oxfords and flats for Fall. And then, after you get your shoe fix and want a matching outfit, you can head over to BP apparel just a few steps away.

Brass Plum is a neat little open store full of trendy (I can’t say that enough) shirts, tops, dresses, denim, bottoms, and accessories that are affordable… I would go as far to say that BP is like a cheaper version (hard to believe) of Urban Outfitters; their clothes have a bohemian/hip/young feel. Plus, if you are ever with a boyfriend, a parent, a sibling or even a friend who is uninterested in their apparel, get them out of your hair and sit ‘em down on the pink, circular couch at the back wall of the store in front of their giant, screened TV to watch some music videos. And if you are trying on clothes, there is a comfy little lounge area for them to enjoy as well.

Target Rockville, DC, Wheaton… WHEREVER– Not a Place for Clothes

August 2, 2010 By B Leave a Comment

We all know that Target wherever it may be… Rockville Pike, Veirs Mill Road, (not Bethesda yet) Silver Spring…. is a magical place full of anything and everything you desire such as home appliances and furnishings, make up, jewelry, electronics, kids’ toys, FOOD and all for a discounted price… And we all know that Target has a pretty hefty clothing selection for women and men at the front and second floor of the store… but did you know that these clothes aren’t worth a dime? I’m not talking about how you can get a whole new wardrobe for a 100 bucks… because that is awesome but it is not what i’m complaining about. It’s the fact that yes, you can get a whole bundle of clothes for a cheap price, but what good does any of that do if the clothes don’t fit the human body correctly and will just fall apart after a few wears and trips in the washing machine?

After trying on a number of clothes over the years at Target, i have come to the realization that the people that make the clothes or design them or whatever is not familiar with the shape of a woman’s body. For instance, you will try on a shirt that’s too tight in the wrong spot and too loose in another, or like the seam where the sleeve and body of the shirt connect is half way down your arm or you will try on a pair of pants in the size that you are normally and the crotch of the pants will be too low (not purposefully) and the waist will be smaller, and the legs will be shorter… and then you will try on the same pants in a different size, and all of a sudden, the fitting is completely different… the crotch could be too high and the waist too big. I understand how when you go down or up a size, the article of clothing will get bigger or smaller in certain places, but it should PROPORTIONALLY. It’s all about proportion! A woman’s waist usually is not bigger than her rear and her calves bigger than her thighs… JFSFUIJFIFSFIJFNUFNWU! rant! Basically, the point i want to get across is that it’s probably a better idea to spend a little more money on something that fits you correctly and can be worn more than a few times.

That is all.

:)

Rockville Shopping: Rockville Discount Shopping at Loehmann’s — a.k.a The “Back Room”

July 23, 2010 By B Leave a Comment

Loehmann’s also known as the “Back Room” is a department chain store located in Georgetown DC and Rockville MD that buys leftover men and women’s fashion from upscale name-brand stores and sells them for 30-60% off. In other words, if you like designer clothes such as True Religion and 7 For all Mankind Jeans, Betsey Johnson, BCBG dresses, FREE PEOPLE (I’m sold), Michael Kors, Miss Me, Ed Hardy, and a bunch of other designer labels then you should check it out. The gigantic store is separated into women’s accessories, dresses, women’s underwear, a men’s section, women’s contemporary, women’s fitness, fragrances, and a shoe section.

But i warn you, its a kind of place that you must visit often to really find those special items. Prepare yourself for the heartbreak when one day you visit and can’t find anything, don’t fret, go back another day and there could be a whole new shipment of items; they are constantly ridding and restocking their racks.  Just prepare to roll up your sleeves, break a sweat and dig through tons of clothes, accessories, shoes and fragrances, and possibly, compete with a fellow shopper for that last small Free People T-shirt.
