Feed Back Needed From Ladies (18 to 34)

I have been in business for a little over 10 years and relocated my boutique 3 years ago. When we relocated we lost all our premium denim suppliers do to the brands already being carried at other shops in the area. Knowing that non of these shops are going anywhere in the near future I have decided to added a denim exchange to my shop. The only problem is I am not very knowledgeable in the used clothing arena. So if all you ladies in 18 to 34 age bracket can give me feed back that would be great!

1) What are your favorite premium denim brands?
2) How much would you pay for a used pair of your favorite premium denim?
3) How much $$$ would you sell your used premium denim for?
4) Would you buy used jeans?

Thanks so much for your feed back.

P.S. I will add five bucks to your www.anikaburke.com account for answering my 4 questions!

if you were me, would you keep that back-up or would you return it to the store to buy something else. (it's banana republic)

I always love the purple :)

Shipping fees are usually so expensive to New Zealand :’(
Do you guys know of any online shops with free/cheap shipping? – Preferably with reasonably priced items too.
The only few I know are ASOS and Romwe.

Thanks!

  i don't find GAP, anthropologie or J crew boring..

I'm all into leggings this season and I use them as pants both: indoors or outdoors. They're much more comfortable than jeans, that I can't help.
Recently I found a cool on-line store with plenty of options that I liked, so I keep using leggings everywhere and consider keep using them for spring as well (such they have really cute pattern options there)

But I want your opinion. Do you think it's ok and nice  for people who wherem them as pants or you wouldn't like the change? Here's a few models that I like and have for you to know what I'm talking about:
Leggings Best Stock Drawer

i need two different dresses
first being my graduation dress
we’re going out on a boat afterwards
so i need a casual flirty fun dress to wear under my cap and gown and on the boat
secondly i need a dress to wear to our dinner dance
we’re going out on a boat..again.
so it should be causal but cute/ funky
i trust you guys

I've been scowering the wed and the malls for a tubetop bodycon dress to wear for valentine's day, but I just can't seem to find the right one. For one thing, I don't have boobs to fill in the dress so I need a really small one. Do you any of you have any ideas as to where I might find such a dress?

I want to buy some dresses in uae. Can anyone help me that which is the best online shopping website to buy dresses?

45 day return window. i am thinking they may only give me merchandise credit, to be used only in stores, and to be only usable by me (if that)

i wish i could gift or sell that merchandise credit, why do they make merchandise credit only usable by yourself? or is not all merchandise like that?

okay. so i can get some pretty cheap ones, but they dont hold up and end up sagging away mid-wear. so, if you have a pair of tights that are your dream come true and want to share who makes them, where you got them and how much, a fellow chictopian (ME!) would be highly appreciative.
thanks <3>

I Want To Find The Best Leather Leggings, With Zippers Or Ruffles Any stores that sell those kind?

Okay, so maternity wear doesn’t conjure up images of style and glamour… But that’s the point. I don’t want to look dowdy my entire pregnancy but don’t want to spend a small fortune on clothes I’m only going to wear for a certain period. So anyone know any places where I can pick up reasonably priced stylish maternity wear?
Any tips much appreciated!

Here’s where you can share what your first designer handbag was that you purchased!

Let me know, Please thanks!

What is your favourite store to buy clothes? Do you prefer to go shopping by your feet, or would you rather online shopping?

I want to start posting outfits, at least on the weekends, to the style gallery. The only person I can think of to take pics for me would be my husband. Some of the pics on here look like professional photogs took them.

If you post to the style gallery regularly, who takes your pictures for you?

Know of any websites similar to those listed in the title? I already know about:

lulus.com
gojane.com
cutesygirl.com
pinkice.com
yesstyle.com

anybody know anymore? hopefully some that are more affordable than yesstyle or urban outfitters, or lulus, please & thanks :)

I want to look cute for a costume party without breaking the bank

I followed the directions from the faqs page. However when I dont have an "update" option available. Do I have to get to a certain status or a certain amount of points to be able to participate in contests?

Can you tell me what brand are your favourite jeans? What size? What colour?

Hi, ya’ll. I was wondering what your fav button down top is and where it is from? I’m looking for new ones and can’t seem to find any.

What store is your absolute favorite and why do you like it so much?

For me, its probably forever21 just because the prices are relatively cheap and the clothes are trendy =]

(also, how do you add your own picture next to your posts?)

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!

Any suggestions on where to shop for cool vintage jewelry? I love retro gold rings, necklaces, and costume jewelry earrings. Preferably not too expensive (thinkin under $20). I've tried ebay before, but it's always a bit tedious sifting through the not-so-cool stuff, plus the quality from some international manufacturers is not always all that great. Thoughts?
