Shopping in the states?

Question

Okay, so I'm planning to go back to school shopping in the states in a couple of days. Since I haven't really ever shopped there, I was wondering which brands I should look for and which brands I should avoid. I did some research on the internet and I didn't recognize any of the brands.

These are some of the ones I found:

Abbey Dawn, Angels, Candies, Derek Heart, Energie, Fire, GLO, H2j, Heart & Soul, IZ Byer, Mudd, My Michelle, Paris Blues, Self Esteem, Seven7, SO, Soffe, Speechless, Tempted, Trixxi, Unionbay, Wrapper, etc...

If you could give me some pointers, I would really appreciate it :)

Btw, I'm from Vancouver, BC and I'll be going to Bellingham, WA...

Thanks :)

Answer 1

All of those brands are from Kohl's, a department store that's cheaper than most.

If you prefer high end department stores, try Bloomingdale's, Barney's, Saks, Nordstrom's, Bergdorf Goodmans, and Lord and Taylor.

(nordstroms and lord and taylor are more low-key than the rest).

Other cheaper places to shop are Target, Wal-Mart (i don't recommend Wal-Mart), Sears, JC Penney's, and Macy's.

Some popular teenage brands are Abercrombie and Fitch (A&F), American Eagle (AE), Aeropostale (Aero), Hollister Co.(HCO), Forever 21, and Wet Seal. I personally don't think that Forever 21 or Wet Seal have good quality clothing.

you probably know about this stuff- it's just I've never been to British Columbia, so I wouldn't know what's popular there and what's sold there.

Answer 2

Depending on your age there is Hollister, Abercrombie, Pac Sun and American Eagle for teens. There is Limited Too for kids.

Those shops are popular. For shoes Sketchers rock. Athletic shoes= Nike

Department stores have alot of good shoes.

Answer 3

try glitterdivaz.com

Answer 4

abbey dawn is avril lavignes clothing line. its pretty awesome.

a lot of those are just clothing lines at kohls, a lot of people wont recongnize them here.
