Love Nordstrom's Rack, Off Fifth, TJ Maxx, Marshalls. I also have some great outlet stores in my area and usually find some killer deals at Calvin Klein, Liz Claiborne outlets. Too poor to shop anywhere else.
I'll go to Ross every once in a great while but it's gotten positively ghetto in the last couple years....
For online shopping, I live Victoria's Secret. The Body collection of bras and undies are so comfortable. I hate their cheap clothes tho...
Ann Taylor/Ann Taylor Loft for more professional clothes -- they have small & petite sizes
Threadless for t-shirts
Forever 21
Wet Seal Zappos for shoes Figleaves for bras (it's hard being a hard-to-find size
)
Frederick's of Hollywood for underwear
Levi's outlet store/Pants Towne for jeans (Levi's makes the only cut of jeans that really fit me correctly)
H&M, when I'm visiting my family (I live over 800 miles away and that's the closest one to me :O)
Nordstrom & Nordstrom Rack, Macy's (only if they carry designer jeans though...), Victoria's Secret (for lounge wear/gym clothes), and Abercrombie... Though I think that the clothes there get smaller and smaller... I have gained weight also, but still, the clothes there are getting smaller!
*Urban outfitters
*Crossroads (affordable, nice, used clothes)
*Macy's/ Nordstrom(they do have some nice brands there)
*Free People (love their pretty dresses)
Buffalo Exchange (awesome thrift store at the lab near South Coast Plaza), Fashion Young in Huntington Beach, and Nordstrom Rack. Target ain't so bad either. =)
J.Crew (so classic), Urban Outfitters (girly, punky, and all of the above) and sometimes Victoria's Secret has must-have items (their sweaters are to die for!).
h&m, shopbop, nordstrom, saks, revolveclothing, neiman marcus, barneys, pretty much anywhere with sales on designer stuff especially jeans.... i love jeans!
(okay sorry that's not clothes but I've always managed to find a pair of shoes there when I really needed to for a good price)
~best of all: outlet and thrift shopping
but it usually takes me a while to get to any stores of this kind (distance/driving wise) so I don't get to do this that often. When I do I wind up buying tons lol.
Over the Rainbow, American Apparel, Holt Renfrew, JCY house, Show Room, Lululemon, Urban Outfitters, Abercrombie, Winners, stores along Queen st. W (in Toronto), Aritzia (they never change thier selction though...boring).
Online shopping: Neiman Marcus (only ship to canada over the phone -.-), Revolve clothing, authenticforum (sales section), ebay!!
