This place is great especially if you need an inexpensive accessory for an outfit quick! Everything is organized by color. They have costume jewelry, hats, bags, and SCARVES! The scarves are great and so inexpensive. They have clothes and shoes as well. But the sizes for clothing is limited. The selection of jewelry etc. is excellent.

A fun place to browse for(and sometimes buy) costume jewelry and accessories. My 9 year old can’t get enough of the place. Tables are coordinated by color family which is fun. They also carry a limited selection of clothing and shoes –but the JEWELRY and hair accessories make this akin to a grown-up’s Claire’s. Sparkly & Fun and not too hard on the wallet. Great for proms, weddings, color coordinating an outfit, interview stuff. It’s all FAKE(Costume) but it’s all FUN!

Yes, I’ve reviewed the one in Collegeville, but this one also deserves a 5 star review. The concept for the store is amazing for any girl that loves all accessories and organization. The store is organized by color! It can be very overwhelming if you don’t know what color you’re looking for, but that is also the best part; looking through everything! They are always changing the inventory and there are always sales and promotions to keep you coming back. No, it’s not real gold and silver, but you know that going in! You can find fabulous accessories from jewelry to scarves to handbags to shoes to go with any outfit for a bargain! The store is kept very nicely and you never get that picked over feeling, especially in the clearance section. The employees are very friendly and not over-bearing, they understand you need to look around! This store is just awesome, there is nothing bad to say!

LOVE this place! They have all kinds of affordable jewelry, purses and other accessories all organized by color which makes it so easy to shop. I haven’t had any problems with being pushed to take a basket like another reviewer stated… The staff usually just smiles and carries on. Definitely gonna be doing some Christmas shopping here this year!

This store carries mostly inexpensive«costume» style jewelry, with a variety of styles for all tastes. They also have clothing, purses, and other random accessories. I like their stuff, but I have a few issues with the store. First, I find the customer service to be a bit overbearing. As soon as you walk in someone says hello and pushes you to take a basket. If you do not take a basket, you are asked repeatedly until you do take a basket. I also find the store to have a little too much merchandise to the point of feeling over-stimulated by the choices. Jewelry is organized by colors but the store is huge and has lots of tables filled with stuff, as well as jewelry covering the walls. Regardless of these issues, I like the variety of colors and styles of jewelry at affordable prices. If you have an outfit needing jewelry to go with it, this is a good place to go to find something that matches.

Charming Charlie is a lot of fun! I’ve been wanting to check it out for awhile, but finally made it yesterday. The store is large. They sell clothes, shoes, and accessories. I didn’t explore the clothes too closely– I don’t think they carry plus-size– but what I saw looked cute. I mostly explored their purses and accessories. The store was arranged by color– so they have a table full of pink accessories and purses, a table of silver accessories and purses, etc. It seemed like a great place to go if you’re looking for something that is a specific color. They also had a whole table of red/white/blue July 4th items, and I’m guessing they do that for all holidays. You do have to fish around a bit– some things make you wonder if you’re too old to pull it off, or if it is ugly or cute. But if you’re patient, some good, quality items can be found. I made off with two watches($ 18 each), a black and brown purse($ 40), blue nail polish($ 8), and pink sunglasses that were on sale($ 6). I was a little disappointed in their sunglasses collection, and some of the purses seemed a little flimsy. When I was unpacking my purchases, I realized one of the watches was broken. I took it back to the store the next day, and I had no problems exchanging it for a new one. Overall, I had a blast shopping and found some unique and cheap items. I’ll definitely be back(probably more often than I should)!
