I always buy things on sale unless I absolutely need it right at that moment. If you think about it, everything’s going to go on sale eventually, you just have to wait for the right moment and seize it.

Do you shop there because you love it, or because it’s what you can afford?
i shop at Express often, because their clothing creates a classy style! :)

i know that theres some clothes that are oversized and such, but do you get a size up or two? do you also sometimes buy sweaters from the guys section?
i’ve always wondered about this and i want to start wearing just huge sweaters with leggings or tights since fall is upon here. =]
thanks!
I love oversized sweaters ! I usually get them in second hand shops, because you can really find good quality, original prints and they are much more cheap.
In winter, it's the perfect period to have a big, chunky ugly Christmas sweater ♥

What brands make pants that look good on girls with short legs. I'm average height, but my legs are on the short side. I found that Ann Taylor makes good pants that fit me, but the brand is just so uncool. Any other brands that would work well on me?
By average height, you mean 5' 3" - 5' 5", right? American Apparel for petite makes pants for short gals. There's also Levi's in short length. I know this because I'm around 5' 4".

Hey. Have any Canadians purchased items through ASOS? if so, how much were customs?
About 25% - pretty steep.
If you are Canadian and looking for duty free shopping, please visit www.awfullyprettyshop.com :)

Most sites that ship to Canada like Topshop and ASOS attack you at the door with duties and customs fees.
Anyone know of any good online stores that have the duties and taxes included in the shipping to Canada?
I bought 2 dresses and a purse from ASOS in the summer and at the door I had to cough up just over $40 at the door when my package arrived. Same with Urban Outfitters.
It’s just annoying! Anyone have any good suggestions? :)
Our online store is based out of Montreal so shipping within Canada is duty free and free shipping over $50 - please check us out at www.awfullyprettyshop.com :)

Here’s where you can share what your first designer handbag was that you purchased!
Mine’s was… a Marc by Marc Jacobs bag. Still use it sometimes!
Mine was a red Michael Kors bag, I still use it as well.

So I was going through the forums and clicked on this topic that I had responded to. The user had violated forum rules so I had flagged them for spam. Since then, the user has been removed and if you click on the links they posted you are taken to a legal notice instead of their website. They are being sued by Chanel for trademark infringement!
I think counterfeiting bags in wrong, but I think I feel more sorry for the consumer who is tricked into thinking what they’re buying is real, and less sorry for the designer brand who is losing out on the money. I still think it’s wrong no matter what; I wouldn’t want my creations copied or my ideas stolen.
How do you feel about it? Have you ever bought a counterfeit on accident or on purpose?
I once went to a purse party about 10 years ago. The invitation mentioned getting designers like Chanel, D&G, Fendi for $100. When I walked in with my guest, one of my friends at the party asked me if I knew if these designs were fake or not. I took one look at them and knew they were fakes, and my guest yelled out, “Oh yeah, they are fake. But they look really good.” Little did we know that the girl who brought the purses “forgot” to mention they were fakes. She didn’t even tell the host, who was very embarressed. From that day on, I always felt a little weird seeing fake purses, only because I saw firsthand how shady the business is in general…

I live in the Mission and there are great shops nearby. But I do want to venture out to new places around the city. Does anyone have a guide to best boutiques in SF? Broken down by price range would be great! I typically don’t spend more than $50 on clothing but will splurge $200 at a Barney’s sale every once a while
I really like Loehmann's on Sutter. It's like the Gilt website come alive.

I am so curious to know who’s the most shopaholic chictopian. When I have full time job, I go shopping every week-end. When I work part time, I shop whenever I have free time. When I see something nice on another girl, I won’t rest until I get something similar. Right now I’m so desperate for hot pink pants but can’t find them anywhere.
How about you girls?
I shop super often, really too much xD

Any idea what to get dad this xmas? I know he wants an ipad but I can’t afford that – I think my brother is going to get it for him. I am looking to spend under $50. Help!
If you’re willing to stretch just a little, I think the Amazon Kindle starts at $69 and it’s a great option if he’s just looking for a device for more everyday activities like browsing the internet or reading books.

I have high arched foot so my feet get sore easily from walking around. Anyone know of brands that make shoes with good arch support?
There’s a small business chain in California that sells shoes made for comfort, it’s called Sole Desire. So just check out the list of brands they posted on their website, I’m sure you can continue your research from there.
But if you live in Northern Cali, I recommend you visiting one of those stores— they’ll help you find the shoes you need. Some of the shoes they sell may not be super-glamorous or pretty (like with Birkenstock and UGG shoes), but I’m sure you can find some that looks dressy and feels comfy.

Help! I’m trying to expand my shopping horizon and try online shopping, but there don’t seem to be many places that ship to Canada, that don’t already exist in Ottawa, Montreal or Toronto. If anyone knows any good online shops that I should check out, please let me know.

just something that is classic and that fits into the everyday look…
i can’t find any whenever i go shopping or maybe i’m being too picky or overthinking it.
i would love to hear some of your ideas!
I think riding boots. A nice saddle brown color is definitely time less and matches everything. You just have to find the right style. I find great things at aldos, urban outfitters even macy’s.

yeah, the Title kinda says it
i just noticed i go shopping by myself a lot
Sometimes I get really annoyed with friends being there
because i just want to go and focus on shopping .. you know
and they only shop for like an hour
i usually stay for 4-5
I live like in Centrum so i get to the shops by bike which takes me like 5 minutes
so i end up going quite often by myself
what about you?
xx
I prefer to shop alone because it’s easier and then I don’t feel bothersome by making a friend or boyfriend wait.

Hi, does anybody know a good place to buy inexpensive scarves that aren’t too scratchy? My budget is from $5 to $15, but most of the places I’ve looked at range from more like $30 too $60. I mean, scarves are just pretty pieces of fabric, right? Why are they so expensive?!
I don’t like buying scarves online cause you never know the texture. My scarves from H&M are really soft and last me a long time. Zara has pretty decent scarves too! Just wait til their semi annual sale so you can get a good deal.

I am in desperate need of tops for fall. I have looked everywhere even willing to spend a little extra and cannot find anything! Can I get some help on where to look and what would work best? I was thinking maybe layers are more important and even some tips on those would help! I also just got this new GRACESHIP bag its called chicago and is royal blue so anything to go with that would help too!
I’m obsessed with shaggy tops right now! I think ASOS and OASAP is a good place to look for tops. They have a large variety.

Where are good places to buy cheap but decent quality maternity clothes? Considering I’m only going to be wearing it for three to six months, I really don’t want to spend more than $50 per piece. I bought my first maternity dress from A Pea in the Pod and the quality was terrible. Any tips from other moms out there?
Hi Dear,
There are many maternity clothes available in the market but I would recommend you to first research at the online shopping sites than spend time at the outdoor markets. It will save time and helpful for you.

My current frames have broken (I’m using tape and a band-aid to keep it together), and so I need new frames. Does anyone have suggestions? Also, if I were to buy random frames, if I took it to an optometrist, would they be able to make lenses for it? Thanks
You should consider buying them online there as I buy all my prescription eyeglasses there including sunglasses. They have great quality glasses and you can customize the color or even add a mirror coating to it.
