What are some of your favorite stores?

I live in Toronto and I love to shop at.....

Olsen
Talbots
Over the Rainbow
The Bay
Rickies
Bianca Nygard
Laura
Melanie Lynn

Just to name a few.

Valu Villahj
h&m
out of the past
etsy
american apparel (dare i say)

For the past two years, I've bought almost nothing but clothes and accessories from Banana Republic; shoes from Banana Republic or Aldo. I like the brands well enough -- durable, classic lines that are aware of trend, yet don't altogether immerse themselves in it. But I honestly think my loyalty is largely just OCD kicking in.

Old Navy

That's pretty much it! Once I find a place I like, I stick with it.

I love the clothes from Didi.. But I don't know if their shops are only in the Netherlands

Exactly my problem.

I don't have a specific place.
- For one thing, I like the "hunt" of shopping. I don't believe in shopping from displays, so I'll buy a piece here and a piece there...
- Plus, I buy shoes, shoes and more shoes, so I buy clothes to match them.
- Also, I can't shop where everyone else shops- like big department stores and such. If Macy's has 20 of something on a rack, and there are Macy's in every mall in the area, then U are bound to see that outfit on EVERYone.

** Like today, I wore a dress that I found in my Granny's closet. That dress was over 30 years old. It's machine-washable (late-60s, early 70s gabardine); I washed that bad boy, accessorized it to update the look, and wore it with pride. I got my "retro" on. People were asking where I got it!

I got this there last week:

I absolutely HATE to shop. When I do I like to go to out of the way funky second hand shops. Name brand at cost saving prices. I do love a cool find.

Hot. I love boys like you.

I shop wherever...I don't care if it's cheap or way too expensive...i just buy what I like.

Anthropologie
Old Navy
Kohls
vintage stores
Victoria's Secret

I buy a lot of clothes off of eBay too, and have no idea where they came from or what brand they are.

I hate shopping in the Uk and tend to buy all my clothes whilst on holiday in Florida (LOVE to spree!) although I do buy the odd piece from home.

About 95% of my wardrobe is from Old Navy, Gap and Banana Republic and my casuals from aeropostale and abercrombie (though I done have many pieces from a&f as I'm too fat for that skinny assed label!)

In the uk I tend to buy from cheaper places like Matalan and I have a few pieces from Primark (which I tend to customize).

2nd hand stores. Markets.

For basic stuff, Lands' End.

Otherwise, fabric stores - I make about half of my clothes.

I always used to love Dangerfield and Atelier
Now I'm a Salvos, Savers and K-mart kinda lady

I WANT these sneaks so bad in pink...




but bitch ass Foot Locker didn't have my size

then bitch ass Lady Foot Locker didn't have it AT ALL

and some other bitch ass store had me try on some sneakers that made my feet look too skinny for my body, so I was like "get these bitch ass sneakers outta here mayne!"
