    Full disclosure: I have a shopping problem. Because of this known "issue" I certainly wasn't looking to add another store to frequent and overspend in. So when I was walking back from Lord & Taylor on my way to get a cheap blazer from Banana Republic for a work event, and instead walked into Aritzia, I was both devastated and in a state of pure, unadulterated bliss.

    The store basically has everything I'll need for any occasion and has pieces that are perfect for a single, 31 year old New Yorker who wants to look cute without looking silly, sexy without being slutty and put together without looking boring.

    I walked out with three pieces: navy blazer ($125), pink camisole with lace ($65) and a sexy-ish sweatshirt type shirt ($35). I would've bought more if I had any money to spend but there are about three dresses there that have my name all over them (about $165 each). It's good to know I'll have something to spend my next paycheck on.

    Save your pennies (it's reasonable but not cheap by any  means), clear off at least an hour (the store is pretty big), and get ready to be wowed by a shopping experience in a city where I didn't think was possible any longer.

    ENJOY!!

    Absolutely amazing store! One of the main reasons I do my bi-yearly trips to the city. Amazing service, beautiful & trendy clothing, and great location. Clothes are a bit pricey, and I am tight with the dollar, but this store is worth it. Great quality clothing, definitely worth the $100 a sweater. Sales associates are very attentive, sometimes too much, but they mean well. Worth the visit !!!!

    Walked into this store and the first people I saw was the security guard and a blonde chick, didn't even greet me - very rude!  This is not a high end store, not cheap but not overly expensive ($80 jeans doesn't make it high end) so what's with the poor service? Even if it were a high end designer store it's extremely rude to ignore your customers whether they are buying or browsing.  Two stars only because the clothes are nice but the sales associates need to be more polite.

    I found a new favorite clothing store! I found a new favorite clothing store! I found a new favorite clothing store!

    Okee, instead of just repeating that 100 times, I'll tell you a bit more.

    I don't like shopping for clothes. I like having nice clothes, and feeling good when I wear nice clothes, but the actual process of hunting them down? Not so much. So I'm pretty excited when I discover a store where I *enjoy* browsing and try things on, *and* come away with items that fit well and I can't wait to wear.

    Aritzia had some just-trendy-enough, versatile, and pretty things. I went all out and bought some skinny black pants that I can wear to work or to go out, a sheer black long-sleeve tee with a lovely feminine silhouette, two cute wool hats (now that I have short hairs, I need protection in the winter!), a soft gray jersey scarf, and... wait for it... a wool winter coat (which they didn't have in my size, so they ordered it from another location, and I'm picking it up today). ---Anyone who knows how much I hate winter coats will appreciate that.

    All of it was on sale. Otherwise, the goods here are a bit pricey, but so far I'm thinking they might be worth it.

    Mostly helpful and nice sales people.

    Aritzia has a store in Soho, and this is their second to open in Manhattan. I believe they're originally Canada-based. They have stores in other US cities, too, as well as New Jersey.

    Aritzia carries an array of cute and trendy clothing.  Unfortunately for my wallet, I fall in love with at least a dozen of their feminine, flowy tops each season.

    The sales associates at Aritzia stores tend to be on the aggressive side; however, I don't mind too much because the service is usually great if you look like you are going to drop some money here.  It seems as through the second I snatch any item up into my arms, a sales associate will appear by my side asking if I need a dressing room, which, shamefully, I usually do.  I was browsing through the winter sale selection at this particular store location with a blazer, a skirt, and two pairs of pants in tow when Rachel came by and graciously scooped up my finds and opened a fitting room for me.

    As I tried on the cropped pants, Rachel told me that they carried them in several other colors.  Since the fit was so great, I asked if she could bring them over for me to see.  She quickly came back with the same pants in taupe, teal, red, bright blue, emerald, and a deep purple.  When she saw me lingering over the emerald pair, she said that emerald was declared the "it" color of 2013.  Ugh, I knew right then and there I just had to have that pair in addition to the one I was trying on.  Self control my ass.

    This recent trip set me back a bit on my budget resolutions for the new year, but I wouldn't trade the items I bought for anything.  (I wouldn't have a choice either as all sale items are non-refundable, non-exchangeable.)  For the best deals, come when they have sales since they will usually have many sizes remaining.  Good sizing for petites too!

    A co-worker introduced me to Aritzia when we were in Chicago. However, we only had a few minutes in the store - just enough time for me to fall in love but too little for me to try on clothes. When visiting New York, I knew that I just had to check out Aritzia and was excited to learn about this brand new location!

    I was impressed with Aritzia as soon as I walked through the door. My friend and I were quickly greeted and had a very attentive sales associate helping us the entire time. I only had to hold a garment in my hand for a minute or two until the associate was back by my side to take the item to the fitting room. Though this may sound a tad annoying, she did it well, and I felt very pampered throughout the shopping process.

    The store is very large - twice as large as the Water Tower location. The first floor was all regular priced items, while the basement was all clearance fall/winter apparel displayed by color, which made shopping so easy. Needless to say, I accumulated quite a few things back in the fitting room. My helpful sales associate even added a couple items to my large stash to try on and made awesome additions. She did a great job of understanding my size and style.

    Though I liked several items, I truly only fell in love with one fantastic slouchy sweater. Considering the price points - primarily from $50 for tanks and tees to $100 for sweaters and several hundred for outerwear, you shouldn't buy anything from Aritzia that you don't absolutely love. However, my sales associate was so wonderful that I felt badly just buying one item! That's how you know you've had impeccable service!

    Is there a store in Florida. This place was very trendy and a good place to go if you want to make sure you are keeping up with fashion
