Love, love, love Susanna’s! This is a great place for men to buy gifts for women in their lives. The jewelry is beautiful! and they gift wrap everything with pretty ribbons and a tiny flower. I own many gorgeous earrings and necklaces from here. My closet is filled with their skirts, tops, gloves etc from recent purchases and many years past. The entire staff is very attentive and helpful. I always look forward to my trips here, whether I buy or not. I have probably bought 100 gifts over the past 15 years here. They are well received from relatives and friends. Another one of Porter Square’s best kept secrets. If guys knew about this store as a great place to get gifts with free gift wrapping, this place would be packed!

If you are not rich like me, go here when there is a sale. If you are rich then you have the luxury of coming here whenever you’d like and pay almost 100 bucks for summer dress that I will get in two months when it’s marked down to 47 bucks! I win! Nice people working here and a nice selection of grown up clothes with some fun dresses thrown in for good measure.

You know when you go Christmas shopping and then you turn around and see the perfect gift for… yourself? Ah, that’s what happened to me here last weekend. I got the most amazing, beautiful artsy top — and the best part: when I got home, I tried it on with 3 skirts, each a different style and color — the top looked great with all of them. I was thrilled. And to think I’d just stopped in to say hello to Barbara and Zelda and Amy. Saying hi to friends AND a fashion score. Perfect.

If you want a sweet, friendly boutique with a reasonable price tag, Susanna is your spot. My mom has been shopping here since they opened and my sister and I now shop here too; it is still the place to be! They have a range of clothing and jewelry to suit hip ladies of any age group. You will leave feeling good about yourself and any purchases you made here.

Thank god Susanna is open again! The sweetest staff and the best clothes. I always go here to find something unique to wear to a wedding or other special occasion. Also nice pieces for work, either for a normal work day or when you need a little something extra. Great jewelry too. I don’t live in the area anymore, but I make it a point to set aside a few hours each time I come home to get to Susanna! When I return to the far away land of Texas, coworkers and friends are always dying to know where that special piece of clothing or those earrings came from.

This shop is good for accessories and has wonderful sales staff, but that’s about it. I used to get the odd dress or blouse here, but no more. The clothes tend to be rather shapeless and baggy-looking.

I love this place. It is like going to a social gathering with wonderful people you know and beautiful things everywhere. All the women are so helpful and will not let you leave unless you are happy with your purchases. The sizes are not real small but have jewelry that is sparkling or just perfect for the right outfit. The clothing will last and so many of the pieces are timeless. They are honest, sell real quality and a delight to shop in. The prices are reasonable for what you are getting and it is worth the trip. Every gift I have ever given has been wonderfully received. This is a true neighborhood with all the things one needs to feel connected to your community and to shop. Barbara, Zelda, Ellen and Amy are awesome.

Nice clothes, nice looking store. But it seems like the people who work here are way more interested in talking about their personal lives than in helping customers. I don’t like to be hovered over, but a little interest from a salesperson would be nice. I felt like I would be interrupting a therapy session if I asked for assistance.

If you get a chance this week please go they have allot of their summer clothes on sale. I got a dress for $ 23.00 and a top for $ 10.00 Originally the dress was $ 45 and the top $ 30. They have very unique, one of a kind items for women not teenies or anyone going to college. Amy and Zelda(one of the owners) will help you in finding your size what colors work for you and great conversation. If you are looking for something for the holidays, bridal party or just want to feel sexy they have it. Have sizes for all types of women, large extra large, big butt/wide wide hips and more. Zelda will hook you up. As far as their fall winter line you will not be upset, the clothes last for a life time very classic and some are very out there more than NYC. In which I receive a compliment around New Years last year. Susanna is not expensive compare to Chico’s and Looks. Plus the staff helps you and they do remember your name if come a few times. They are so down to earth.

The clothes here are gorgeous but expensive. It’s nice to just go in and absorb the beautiful textures and fabrics. Definitely favors a jewel tone pallete and is geared towards adult women not teenagers.
