H & M pants work at the club, you will get the prettiest girls guaranteed.

I buy my designer dress shirts and dress pants from winners...no one can tell where I bought it. Dress shoes I buy from Marshalls...

^^ Yup. Also the average chick cant tell lab made diamonds from real ones either. Would rather save that extra $3000 a year.

Nordstrom Rack is high end enough for me.

I made that mistake once by giving a chick a diamond. I stay away from them now.

I hate shopping at Marshall or Winners. I do buy shirts there in a crunch. At least you don't have to rummage through the racks. Shoes are a lost cause for me though. For the most part, I wait for sales and stock up. It's often even cheaper than Winners or Marshal's overstock items.

Express has nice fitted / slim fitted dress shirts.

I find it kinda pricey.. $80 for a dress shirt, have to wait for sales or clearance..

Otherwise light up the credit cards!!! Lol!

WhipperSnapper · #**4347** Posted **Mar 27, 2016, 6:17 PM**

I got like 40 pairs of Express socks. Good quality and variety.(well, too much variety for me) I agree the rest is a little pricey for what it is.

yaletown_fella · #**4348** Posted **Mar 28, 2016, 12:04 AM**

Come to think of it, I've only really splurged on wool socks and italian made scarves. Everything else is walmart, winners, and h&m.

I love the ones on the bottom right. I have two pairs of Happy Socks, but they're both variations on the ones 2nd from left on the bottom.

EXPRESS does not have as good sales here in Canada. In the USA you can get shirts for like 10 bucks when they have their sales where they just throw a bunch of stuff in these bins at the front of the store.
The same sales here in Canada are not as good

Got a few of those too. The top 3 and the one under the label look familiar. You can get 4 for $25 at Express and they aren't nearly as wacky.

J. | Junaid Jamshed is a store brand from Pakistan, they opened a store in Missisauga last week

Quote:

Within a short span of time, J. has expanded its reach across Pakistan and abroad. Its 50+ outlets in Pakistan alone are a testament of the efforts the company has put in to become the country's largest fashion retail brand. Best of all, each outlet has a new and inspiring outlook where customers can shop in comfort. This truly justifies the fact that the company has won Brand of the Year Award in the fashion retail category for 3 consecutive years. Aside from its extensive network of branches across Pakistan, J. has also set its foot in the Middle East and UK, with its branches in Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Bradford and a new branch which is about to open in Saudi Arab. This makes the brand a one-stop shop for All Seasons and All Occasions. The summer exhibitions organized by J. also receive an overwhelming response from our customers where we unveil our latest designs and styles. This has motivated us to hold exhibitions in other cities and countries besides Karachi.

It looks fabulous, but it's not exactly located in a prime touristic location, though...

Tourist, schmourist - if they get it right, what a terrific asset for locals!

The renderings look very nice.

It got me wondering about where the public markets are in Quebec City. I admit I've never paid attention to this aspect of the city. I assume they have one as the city is certainly large enough, and that it's somewhere in the central part of the city. But unless it's a blind spot for me, it doesn't seem to be a big thing in the city like the Byward in Ottawa, Jean-Talon in Montreal or Kensington in Toronto.

St Lawrence in Toronto. I've never heard mention of a permanent one in Quebec City but there must be one, no?
