Skokie is not too far, probably 30 minutes driving distance. There isn't any public transport that takes you there though.

Thanks!! I guess I need to make a trip down there soon!

I remember I was debating whether or not to buy that Balmain look-alike studded blazer. Does anyone know if any store still carries this or any other blazer for that matter?

50% off is such a great deal!

^ I saw tons of jackets and blazers. If you're not far from Yorkdale you should check it out.

I love Zara!! Their boyfriend blazers are amazing!

I have to stop by again and see what else they have now, but since there isn't one right near me, I always need to make a special trip to go there.

^^^ I agree! I went to Zara for the first time the other day. I heard such good things about their blazers, so I checked them out, and found a boyfriend blazer on sale for 59.99, which I am absolutely in love with.

I've never been to Zara before. There is no Zara store near me. How is the quality of their clothing - comparable to other brands/designers?

^ it's okay, not super good quality, but moderate. their blazers/jackets are good though - mostly all of them are lined and tailored well.

ZOMG Zara is hands-down my absolute favourite chain - I could gush about it for ages!

Oh my gosh you have to check out Zara.

tresjoliex · Jul 2nd, 2009, 02:43 PM

What store can be compared to Zara? As in quality and pricing?

chris7891 · Jul 2nd, 2009, 02:45 PM

^ It reminds me of Mango. I prefer Zara though.

Kind of like Club Monaco I guess? I just check Zara website and the clothes seem pretty similar.

I've never been in Mango before either - one of my colleagues usually shops at Mango and Zara and loves both of them.

I love Zara during the Spring/Summer time, so many cute & adorable tops & dresses. I'm not too crazy about Fall /Winter stuff, it's all suites & jackets, kind of boring & had enough of it already.

zara is very popular here in the Philippines.. we all love it

Yeah kind of like Club Monaco, except they also have more casual and young clothes as well as the mature stuff...I love it there though, you should check it out!
