Mayfair or Square — Which Mall Suits You for Shoes?

If you're shopping for shoes, of any kind, for yourself or the family, is there a reason to choose Mayfair Mall in Wauwatosa or Brookfield Square Mall?

Two malls, six miles apart. Mayfair Mall and Brookfield Square are both premier regional shopping destinations, situated on major thoroughfares just off the freeway system.  And each sells a lot of shoes, among many other things. Starting from the bottom — that is, with your soles — which mall would you prefer to shop at for footwear? We do shop with our feet, but leaving convenience of location as your last consideration, is there a reason to visit one mall or the other for preference in selection, fit and price? Shoes of all kinds are sold at each mall's anchor department stores, which are: At Brookfield Square: And at Mayfair Mall: As for straight-up shoe stores, including specialty children's and sports shoe shops, Brookfield Square …

Black Friday and Beyond: Long Holiday Hours Set at Mayfair

With an extra-long shopping season ahead, mall extends its hours incrementally up to Christmas and the day after.

Some residents and businesses will start stringing up the Christmas lights as soon as the Halloween decorations come down, but hardcore shoppers know when their dream season begins. Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, has become the accepted if unofficial start time of the Christmas rush. It's a huge day for retailers but only the first of a roughly month-long extravaganza. And thanks to Abe Lincoln, who decreed Thanksgiving a national holiday, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who signed into law that it should fall on the fourth Thursday in November, and Pope Gregory XIII, who blessed the calendar we use by papal bull, 2012 has the longest possible shopping season. To explain: With Nov. 1 falling on Thursday, the fourth Thursday and …

'Lady in Red' Resale Shop Founded on Fashion

LaDonna Telford is taking her love of shopping and passion for fashionable clothes to the logical extent – opening her dream shop on North Avenue.

  A new shop coming to North Avenue is about one woman's love of fashion, and of shopping, and of sharing her frugal finds with the world. Her first business venture, Lady in Red resale shop, is a celebration of her belief that anyone can dress well and look good – really good – without spending a fortune. LaDonna Telford is never impressed when people tell her how much they paid for shoes or a dress. She's proud to say how little she paid. "I'm just the best shopper," Telford said. "If somebody tells me, 'Oh, I paid $150 for these boots,' I'm like, 'Well, I got these $150 boots for $50, how about that?'" Telford piles coupons on top of discounts on top of sales until she's walking out with a wardrobe for pennies on the retail dollar. Her …
