carmenb! when are you going to be there? i am only there once a month for work... i'll be there Sept 17-19 next but am doing a show while i am there.... PM me if that saturday works and we'll meet up!
OK, I thought of another one....we have Nordstrom Last Chance here. I am pretty sure it's the only one in the U.S. (even if it is technically part of a chain!) Last Chance is where all the Nordstrom returns go. They sell all designer denim for $30. Juicy jackets are usually $10-15, designer bags/wallets are like $50-100. My sister got a pair of Marc Jacobs (not M by MJ) shoes for $70 once. The downside is that since Nord's takes ANYTHING back, some of the stuff is damaged/dirty/mismarked. And nothing is grouped -- you have to dig through racks and racks of stuff before you find anything good.
I have gotten some great stuff there Halleybird, when I can stand going in there! It's right by my house...You are absolutely right, we do live in chain store hell...

Lucky duck! That part of town has great shopping! I would go a lot more if it were near me, but it's hard to motivate myself to sit on freeways for 40 minutes when it's hit & miss!

*sigh* I MISS Last Chance. I used to shop it when it was waaaay out in Glendale, and it was more "hit" than "miss". It was never the same for me after they moved it, but I still found some great stuff there. I think Atlanta needs one now.
