Consider this a poll I think I just posted this a minute ago and it didn't show up. Hopefully it won't get posted twice.

Before I went shopping with Ana, Banana Republic was my favorite store. But after? JCrew for sure. That was probably the best shopping experience I ever had. The personal shopper was wonderful and the entire staff was friendly and helpful. I still like Banana Republic but I've never had service like that.
I do like Nordstrom for the same reasons, but it's further away so I don't shop there as much.

Well, you know J. Crew is my favorite. After that, probably Nordstrom, but like Sarah, it's further away so I don't get to go as often. I can hardly wait until they open one up at the Domain!

I like Nordstrom's because the customer service is great and I don't have some of the other nice places available. Around here it's either Nordstrom's or Macy's or Penny's or Sears.
I do plan to get to know Ann Taylor better. I ordered a few tops for summer and they were very nice.

Another vote for J Crew, but I also shop just as much at BR, Ann Taylor and Ann Taylor Loft. I also shop online a lot (Nordstrom, Boden). I'm pretty much all over the board.

Nordstrom beats everybody for customer service, but most of their best stuff is out of my price range. When it comes to their lower price stuff, I can usually find something better for the same price at another store. And I really like BR, but they're too focused on business attire nowadays. My absolute favorite shop, hands down, is Anthropologie, partly because they tend to stock a LOT of creative woven tops in the styles I like (collarless!), and they have a wide enough variety of items in the lower price range.

Banana Republic, J.Crew, and I'm really finding myself drawn to the new Gap looks for casual clothes. Hooray for the return of the Gap!

Anthropologie is my very favorite, but I have the hardest time wearing the clothes I buy there. I end up with very unique items but I have a hard time pairing them in a flattering way with the rest of my wardrobe. I have had some luck with their dresses.

If I'm looking for a particular trendy piece that I don't want to pay much for, I hit Anthro's sister store, Urban Outfitters.

TJ Maxx...I have one nearby that has killer deals on good quality handbags and shoes. Unfortunately, the quality of the merchandise varies greatly store to store.

Theory is a brand I like quite a bit for work, and I'm fortunate to have an outlet store nearby.

Nordstrom's for coats and basics. Nordstrom's does have extraordinary customer service.

Hmm..speaking of good shopping, has anyone in the LA/NY area ever gone down to the Barney's Warehouse Sale? I noticed it started today...I've never actually made the trek. I wonder if it's worth it.
