    Wow! I finally stopped in and was I ever so happy. Karen, the owner, is delightful and gives you honest feedback about what you are trying on. She doesn't push anything. And the clothes are so unique and amazing. I bought 9 pieces including 3 dresses and found the prices reasonable for the quality.  Am hooked on this place. Will be coming back and back.

    The lady who owns this store, is a doll.  What a nice store in the little town of Belmont.  I'd say there are some very classy, eclectic, fun, sassy, earthy, beachy, casual, happy, cool, calm, collected things at Zia.

    I've been driving by this store for years and finally had some time on a rainy day to stop in.  Now, I found some really cute dresses, tops, jeans, etc.  But, I didn't buy any today. Maybe it was the depressing rain that was showering over Boston for the 2452th straight day, or maybe I was just feeling like I didn't want to try anything on.  Either way, I'll definitely be back soon.

    The prices were fairly reasonable.  It is an outlet, so there is a lot to choose from.  I'd say anyone from their 20s on could shop here. Give Zia a try.

    Melisa T nailed it. I found some great thing there today, and had a great conversation with the woman minding the store (we probably talked for about 45 minute)

    It's a small boutique store that reminds me of the shops I liked in Montreal.  I do agree that a good amount of the clothing caters more towards the middle age group (specifically the tops) but I found a gorgeous dress and skirt here.

    I will absolutely keep popping in to see what sort of neat stuff they have, and I would love to talk to the owner too.

    I really like how Watertown/Belmont has more personality than  you'd think the deeper you dig.

    I went in expecting the clothes to be a lot more affordable that what they really are.  I was really disappointed in the hefty prices they had on certain things.  I also really wish there were more sizes in things; not everyone is a size small! Have to say...they definitely lost some business due to that aspect.

    Overall, I had a good *experience there: the owner was extremely nice and very attentive.  She definitely catered to my style and offered things in my price range and style when one item didn't work out for me.

    I will definitely stop by again...just to see if there's anything new going on.  Could definitely do without it, though.

    Great little funky clothes shop.  European sample sale type items for way cheap.  I always find something great and very unusual.  The owner is very into fashion and is fun to talk shop with (sorry for the pun).  It's a teeny tiny little boutique, with lots of character.  I notice it caters a bit to the middle aged crowd, but has good things for younger people too.  

    It holds sort of funny hours, so call first if you're not sure it'd be open.

    I adore this place, half of my clothes come from there.  Karen, the owner, now remembers me so that when I come in says "I just got some things you'll like." Believe me, that doesn't happen at Filene's Basement. I even bought *two* coats at once a few seasons back, something I have never done *in my life*, because together they cost less than I would have paid for one. And I wear them constantly.

    One addition to what everyone already said: Zia's has an email list. Join it and you'll know when to skip out of work to be there at 10 a.m. to check your favorite merchandise and when to come by and have your tarot read as a benefit. I hope they never leave the neighborhood.

    Wow - what a friendly place to shop. It's all about the experience sometimes. And I really appreciate people who give an honest opinion when you try something on. I bought 2 cute tops there. I will be going back. The parking isn't that good but I don't mind a quick walk. There's a lot over next to Starbucks. I love unique stuff which is hard to find at good prices - this lady knows her stuff!

    A fun little snazzy boutique very unexpectedly located next to the Ben Franklin Five and Dime. They have great accessories especially the jewelry, scarves and lingerie. They carry predominately sample clothing which comes mostly in sizes under size 6 or small so it is not the place for everyone to find clothes. The clothes are arty and unusual but not expensive compared to other stores that carry unique clothes. Owner is great and if you ask her to call you when a certain brand or items come in she will (and give you a quantity discount as well). They are not open on Sunday or Monday and if they are not busy they will close up so call before you go.

    Cute window displays, unique outfits and accessories - Great place to buy a piece of clothing that will surely get compliments each time you wear it.

    Take a closer look.  All of the new items are made in China or Taiwan.  I didn't think the quality of these items was very good.  Everyone's touting the discount prices, but I think the prices are in line with items made in China and Taiwan.

    This store is fantastic!!  So much to look at...so much new inventory every time you go in!!  The owner is enthusiastic, friendly and knowledgeable.  She is excellent at what she does and can help you find that perfect piece for any event.  If it's not right - she'll also let you know...a very refreshing an honest approach!!  There is not only an endless supply of cute clothing items, but unique pieces of jewelry, accessories and "girlfriend gifts".  The handbags are fantastic and the Monthly Wine and Cheese events are a MUST!!!  YOU MUST GO TO ZIA'S !!!

    I don't want to be rude as all other reviews rave about this store but my experience was sub-par at best.  The clothing left much to be desired in style and quality and the woman behind the counter didn't acknowledge my presence in the store.  I wish I could have gotten more from this store but sadly I probably will not be returning.
