FASHION - stores we love

We’re finding three stores incredibly inspiring. Not surprisingly, also ones that are getting us to pry open our pocketbooks and shop in these lean times:

TARGET - continues to be directional, will be rewarded for their vision once the economy rebounds just a little. I have personally bought almost every piece of their Converse clothing line. Amazing!!!

ANTHROPOLOGY – they work on the premise that for many consumers it’s about more than just being cheapest. They create wonderfully enticing in-store environments that encourage browsing and discovery. The management is immensely tapped into their consumers. Brilliant merchants.

AMERICAN APPAREL – stylish, affordable, source of half of my wardrobe. Everything is comfortable and fits well. If only the Gap had this kind of merchandise.

Key to the success of these stores is that they offer clothes that fit a wide array of body types attracting teens through style-conscious boomers. They also have a distinct point of view that is carried through all their consumer touch points.

Two other stores that I admire and have observed to be doing well if shopping bags carried around on the streets is an indication include:

UNIQLO – great merchandise, terrific environment, great prices, very creative approach to all aspects of the retail experience.

FOREVER 21 – huge hit with the under-30 crowd, my whole staff shops there - especially popular for accessories.

Thanks for the great article 1st! With aid of improving ur life on net, I’d like to introduce something about Jordan Shoes to u. That’s right, something about Air Jordan or we can say something about Nike Shoes (Nike Air)and whatnot. Depending on the economy crisis, so many people start purchasing items on net cos that can save much money. The point is how to search a good place for jordan shoes? There’re millions of site supply different kinds of air jordans and which site is the place we can order for jordan shoes? All of us know that some of them are unauthentic or their air jordans weren’t good enough. For example: my sister bought a pair of UGG Boots from one site ,then she got the shoes so fast, and my classmate purhcase UGG Slippers on the other site but she didn’t get the slippers for a long time. The same as Silver Jewelry, especially Tiffany such household name. Back to our question, how to find “Mr right”? My suggestion is contact their online support! There should be the great livesupport on the great site, so before you place the order for Jordan Shoes, go to their support! Good luck!
