Today on the blog discussing quality places to shop. I consider Zara, H and M , and LuLus fast fashion; while we all love trends, we also need to make sure that we are buying and filling our closets with quality pieces as well.
You don’t need to be a millionaire to look part; it’s all in how you pick out clothing and put them together; looking good does not have to cost a fortune.
I’ve put this list together to get you started; I am always on the hunt for new and emerging brands and websites.
I have linked some of my favorite pieces from these companies down below.
Pixie Market
I love this brand because they have beautiful knitwear. It is an up-and-coming brand, so not everyone knows about it. Their knits are well made and give you a beautiful shape. I have 2 tops and 2 dresses from them.
If you are looking for quality knitwear and something not everyone will have, Pixie Market is the place for you.
BEWARE: their stuff sells out fast (but they do have wait lists).
Fashion BNKR
This brand is perfect if you a are looking for a special occasion dress.
I have many tops and dresses from this company and I get compliments every time I wear them.
& Other Stories
I got a lot of my sweaters from this brand and most of the time on sale.
Agoldie
I’ll keep this short and sweet; yall know I don’t wear pants, but people have been raving about these jeans. Fellow YouTuber Scoutthecity did a recent haul with several pairs, and she was talking about how much she loved her booty in them.
If you are looking for a great pair of jeans to try, check this brand out.
COS
They have beautiful knitwear and jackets.
Aritzia
I can still remember back in 2017when I discovered this brand my girlfriend and I were at lunch, and we wanted to go shopping. I walked into the store in Texas, and instantly I fell in love (not to mention they had xxs and 00).
I love this brand because of the quality and their sizing.
If you are looking for quality basics that will last years, this company is it. I have several pieces from this company including 5 sweaters and 5 skirts, what can I say, when I love something, I buy multiples.
Their pieces are all cotton , all wool, or all leather.

Alix NYC by way of Far Fetch
If you are looking for quality knitwear and jersey tops and dresses, this company will suit you perfectly.
They do cut-outs beautifully. Yall know I love a good cut-out or backless dress, and this company does it so tastefully.
Ana Luisa
Their jewelry is beautifully crafted, quality, and sustainable.
Their mission ” Using recycled materials whenever possible. And 100% carbon and water neutral from cradle to grave. Bringing joy and inspiring impact.”
You can shop knowing you are being conscious as well getting a beautiful piece.

Mejuri
This brand is a step up from the previous brand mentioned. They have beautifully made jewelry, including gold vermeil, 14k pieces, and even sterling silver.
Schutz
I chose this shoe company because the pair of shoes that I bought from them are all leather, even the sole is leather.
In 2022 you would be lucky to find a pair of all leather boots or pumps under $500.
Honorable Mention
Shop Bop.
While ShopBop has premier designers and is considered contemporary and luxury, they have a section on the website for pieces under $200, and I have found some pretty dresses in this section.
When you have a moment, take a look!
