I like to engage in some serious retail therapy when I'm happy.
And I have a LOT of favourite clothing shops... ones that I can actually afford to shop at! What are yours???

Jacob is my absolute favourite store. They've got great casual and office attire and SALES galore! Especially the Bloor Street location... there's Jacob Lingerie and Jacob Connexion too, all in the same shop. I also like Garage, even if they are geared towards a younger crowd - their summer stuff is fun and affordable. H&M and Le Chateau are great for accessories and some decent threads. I like Gap for their jeans - I find they're a perfect fit. I've found some awesome deals on classy suits at Smart Set... cheap AND chic!
And I LOVE Queen Street West and Kensington Market for all their alternative boutiques... I've bought quite a few cool tops, accessories and loads of shoes down there!


But I'll save shoes for another thread!

All great stores!
I love going to Le Chateau, sirens, the Gap, Suzy Shier, all those kinds of stores, half the time I wouldn't be able to get the guts up to wear the skimpy stuff but I love to look at it!!

Oh Jenn, I'm so jealous that you have an HM store nearby! I always love their stuff in the magazines!
My faves are Express , Forever 21, and Victoria's Secret. I also love Ann Klein for the good preppy stuff.

I like Kohl's.. they always have great sales. I do like Forever 21 sometimes too. They do have some cute clothes and not ridiculous prices.

Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic - i love their customer service!
And then there's also Jcrew, H&M and American Eagle. Too many to list! i like TJMaxx too, but the one close to me has a sucky collection


i agree about the quality of HM, i think it's a hit or miss. i've had clothes from HM that have lasted me for years though. i used to like Express, but their prices have fluctuate so much. Hmmm...this thread makes me feel like shopping now.

We don't have Abercrombie or Victoria's Secret up here... but Jacob makes up for that.
If anyone south of the border ventures up to Canada, be sure to check out Jacob. Nice quality and nice prices!


Banana Republic is a bit too pricey for me, as is Aritzia, but I do love their stuff.

H&M clothing can sometimes be lower in quality, but most of their stuff is awesome and the price is right. I've got a pair of gray cargos I've been wearing all summer and they still rock.
