Well.....next month "Top Shop" is coming to New York City -

I have a nightmare trying to find clothes that I like as I'm only 5' 2" in height. I love Zara (Spanish chain) and Anthropologie (although it's expensive) but even here in the US it's hard to find fashionable petite sizes...:(

I'm off to Singapore tomorrow for a couple of months (to rejoin my lovely husband) but the clothes there are very expensive as everything is imported, although they do have Top Shop, Warehouse, Dorothy Perkins etc.....and best of all quite a few Marks & Spencers stores selling clothes, accessories, food, wine....and Percy Pigs..! :D

If you go into an Asian clothing shop and want to try something on to see if it fits, it is extremely common for the shop assistant to tell you that you can't because you're 'too fat'...:lol: (I'm a US size 6 and some brands an 8) They also like to follow you around in case you might be a shoplifter...:rofl:

I miss Boots, Next and Argos.

Mrs Bill is 5' 10" and can't find fashionable tall sizes in stores...
she buys a lot of clothing from the Talbot's catalog.

Re: High Street Shops in US
 

Wow, it's been a long time since I bought clothes from stores like River Island and Next. Heh heh. As we were talking about population density, PG, I think that factor is in play here, too.

People buying naff clothes. Bleurk... Conform. Conform. What do the tabloids tell me is cool? No thanks.

To the OP, this move'll be good for you.

Re: High Street Shops in US
 

I was thinking the same thing, leave "the Joneses" in the UK.

Who have the most mingingest bogs I've ever seen, family changing rooms you could pick up god knows what from....from a bog perspective, Nordstroms does win out.

Yes, my perspective of shops has changed slightly since I had a baby, quality of bathrooms and lifts have certainly gone up a notch of few :D

Re: High Street Shops in US
 

Boots bathroom and make up shite is in Target these days, so not all bad...keeps the missus happy.

Re: High Street Shops in US
 

I must say I don't spend hardly any time in the bogs at department stores in the US.

Re: High Street Shops in US
 

I'm guessing that you don't have kids then!

Re: High Street Shops in US
 

I think for blokes it is always easy, jeans and jumpers, shorts and ts sorted! Personally I like express and gap... but my wife is 23 and when we were over there just struggled to find reasonably priced fashionable stuff.. there seemed no in-between for her from Target/Ross to French Connection.... But as I say sure we will find some places!

Anyone here recommend good malls in Atlanta? We went to Lennox in Buckhead but was whay pricey!
