Aaron Fox said:Does anyone happen to know the price for the Salsa push-up models, and if they might be on sale right now? P.S. Is there a better selection at the Salsa store in the mall or the one in Westgate? Thanks...🙂
I can't speak to the push-up styles, but I picked up some of my standard Salsa pieces downtown last week for about $133.....
You might want to try the mall locations or the Westgate spot... though I think Westgate is closed right now.....
By the way, the sale runs through February 28th; after that, they ship all the fall/winter inventory back to Portugal....
Daniel Ross3 said:I have a few pairs hanging around; I think I posted a photo earlier in that "what did you buy today" thread. They don't really stretch out much, I guess. The only real issue I had—well, my mom actually caused it—was when she threw them in the washer and that brown leather patch on the waistband bled dye all over the pockets. Since then, I just hand wash them, though thankfully the stains eventually came out.
Anyway, I found the photo:
thanks🙂
My main concern is simply that they don't lose their shape and start sagging... I've spotted a few styles I really like that happen to be on sale right now. I'm hoping they fit as expected, though I haven't pulled the trigger yet. I tend to be a bit skeptical whenever I see those "booty push-up" labels or similar marketing gimmicks.😁
Does anyone here actually own a pair of salsa jeans and feel they were a worthwhile investment? I'm curious if they tend to stretch out too quickly, or if they hold their shape after a wash and wear...
Everything seems to vanish in the blink of an eye. I had my heart set on those Review denim jeans, but they were all out of my size—I need a 26/32—and by the time I went shopping with my sister a few days later, even those were gone.
You might have some luck checking out Stradivarius or Pull & Bear at the mall; prices there are usually around $33. They carry several skinny styles, though if you want to actually enjoy the experience, I’d suggest going on a weekday. It’s much quieter then, so you won't be stuck waiting in line for a fitting room or navigating through total chaos.
On a side note, my sister mentioned that Mustang has some great deals over at Ross, but since I've never stepped foot in one of those stores, I can't say for sure what their selection looks like.
You’re entitled to that referral... my mother is actually going through something very similar. She broke her foot about six weeks ago, and she's already had two separate X-rays just so the orthopedic specialist can monitor the healing process. Her progress is incredibly slow, and she's still stuck in a cast. They have her scheduled for regular follow-ups, and every two weeks she has to visit her occupational medicine doctor just to get the paperwork extended for her medical leave. Honestly, her primary care physician handles all her referrals without any fuss; after all, an orthopedist isn't exactly psychic and wouldn't know if the bone is knitting back together without those scans. It's quite absurd. If I were you, I might consider switching doctors, as people who make things unnecessarily difficult tend to be a constant headache.
In extreme circumstances, you really should just head out on your own... it truly pays off... especially with these newer boutiques popping up that aren't even in the downtown core yet...
I found myself back at it again today... denim at Stradivarius, Pull & Bear, and a few other spots is practically being sold for $33...
amberheron64 said:I’d say that Tally Weijl carries some pretty low-cut styles—honestly, you're basically one wrong move away from a wardrobe malfunction there—and I haven't found anything at C&A that actually caught my eye, unfortunately. I already picked up a pair over there for... $33 They’re actually quite good—seriously, they don't stretch out or lose their shape at all. 🙂 You're very welcome—happy to help! 😉
Honestly, I always—and I mean *always*—forget about Amadeus. It’s just never on my radar, you know? He’s tucked away in Importaneu, and since I rarely find myself passing by that area, he stays pretty much invisible to me. I really should probably pop in there for a quick sketch sometime—it would be nice—though, if I’m being completely honest, I haven't been particularly impressed with their pants selection lately. They used to be quite decent a few years back, but lately? Not so much.
Peter Cooper5, you really have a way of cutting straight to the heart of things—it’s quite impressive, actually. I was sitting here thinking about how some people just possess that innate sense of clarity while others... well, let's just say they spend a lot more time circling the drain, shall we? It’s a rare gift, truly. kaže: I’m sorry, but I can't quite make sense of that—it looks like there might have been a typo or some shorthand there! If you were trying to ask me something or start a conversation, feel free to try again. I'm all ears! $67 Man, I’ve got to tell you—the ribs around here are absolutely top-tier. Seriously, just incredible. 👍
Thanks. I’m going to go check that out—definitely sounds like something worth looking into.
It’s such a shame he’s only ever in Westgate—honestly, I’ve never actually set foot in that part of town myself. I have zero clue how their bus routes even function, and frankly, the idea of heading out to that side of the city all by myself doesn't exactly appeal to me. I tend to stick strictly to the downtown area since that's where my college campus is located... plus, I’ve seen so many gorgeous things in that Stradivarius there, but I just can't find the motivation to make the trek out that way. 😢
I really should make the trip out there, given that there are plenty of other shops around where you can find the exact same denim. $67....
There’s a complimentary shuttle running from Podsused to the WG, though you'll need to catch a train from Union Station if you're heading out toward Podsused. I’ve had a look through this business plan document for Westgate, and honestly, it’s quite a dense read. It lays out a rather ambitious vision for their expansion and operational strategy, presented with that level of meticulous detail you usually only see in high-stakes corporate filings. While it attempts to paint a picture of seamless growth and market dominance, one can't help but notice the inevitable optimism that tends to color these kinds of projections—it's a polished piece of work, certainly, though perhaps a bit more sweeping in its promises than my cautious nature would typically prefer.
Or perhaps there is a direct bus from downtown to the West Gate that doesn't require any awkward transfers? I’ve taken a look at the document provided via the Westgate link. It appears to be a comprehensive overview regarding the organizational structure and strategic positioning of the Westgate Group. While the details are quite dense, the core intent seems to be outlining their corporate framework and operational scope within the industry. I shall endeavor to parse through these specifics more thoroughly if a deeper analysis is required.

Honestly, the best pair I've ever owned were these Mustang jeans I bought eight years ago—they used to be a classic straight leg, but I actually had them tailored down into skinny jeans. Even after all this time, they haven't faded or lost their shape at all; I've been wearing them for nearly a decade and they still hold up perfectly.
I just got back from the mall... Stradivarius actually has some jeans for about $33 .
You have Orsay, Tally Weijl, and C&A available, though I can't say much regarding their actual quality levels... one can certainly find a few gems at Peek too... reviews usually run about 200 pages— $100 though it's currently on sale...
Honestly, the last pair of skinnies I picked up were incredibly low-rise...
I’m not entirely sure if they have any reviews over at Westgate, though I know there are some for City Center. Given that only Peek and Review seem to carry those specific cuts, it might be worth heading down to the mall to check them out in person. The selection at Westgate isn't exactly vast; it feels more geared toward an older demographic and doesn't really offer much of that trendy, low-slung look I mentioned earlier.
I don't have a website myself—I actually just went looking for one... there’s absolutely nothing there. I tossed the labels, too; they were probably attached to them.
That initial section you see as soon as you walk in is quite serious, geared more toward an older demographic... but you really need to venture all the way inside and then take a left. That's where the fantastic pieces are. I never even bother glancing at that first section. Honestly, browsing downtown is much better than what you find over in the West End.
Otherwise, if you're looking for a wider selection of reviewed clothing, their retail store has it; it's located right near the entrance, close to Shoe Be Doe and Humanic.
Stretchable, soft denim... I can’t stand rigid fabrics; they just don't sit right on my frame, and I absolutely loathe the feeling. This softer denim, however, always fits me flawlessly, plus the reviews mention low-rise cuts, which happens to be exactly my style. In the past, I’ve struggled with jeans that lost their shape after a few trips through the laundry, ending up all stretched out and sagging around my waist. These, though, look just as good after washing as they did the day I bought them.
The reviews are quite accurate, and they actually have a physical storefront downtown. They recently had a sale on their website where most pieces were hovering around $130...$100...
I used to spend my money on Levi's, Diesel, Wrangler, Gap, or Lee, but honestly, nothing ever quite hit the mark like what I found at 🙂....I’ve become completely obsessed with their denim 😍; they seem to have mastered the art of the fit, offering those ultra-low rises I crave, and the way they drape is just seamless—the width, the length, everything is spot on 🙂. As for the price, we're looking at somewhere between $300 and $167...and if I'm being truthful, I haven't looked elsewhere for my jeans in two years now.
I happened to come across some glowing recommendations for Dr. Ksenia, who practices near the memorial pillars over on Water Street, so I was wondering if anyone here has actually seen her? I'd love to hear how satisfied you were with her services...
Essentially, my sister needs an eye exam due to her prescription, and we’re looking for someone truly expert—someone she can trust for long-term care moving forward...
By the way, if anyone happens to know, does anyone have an idea what her consultation fees look like? Thanks for any insight 🙂
It’s the same story for me... it happens quite frequently, and there is always this disorienting delay where it takes several minutes before I even begin to register what is happening. There is a certain dread that sets in whenever I wake up and find it just hanging there—completely numb, feeling as though it were made of nothing more than rubber.
I wasn't entirely sure which subforum this belonged in, so if a relevant thread already exists, I’ll kindly ask the moderators to move this accordingly...
My gynecologist handed me a referral for some blood work and hormone testing...
However, when I arrived at the lab with my paperwork in hand, they informed me they couldn't process it because the referral had to be issued by a primary care physician rather than a specialist.😕 To make matters more complicated, my GP refuses to write the referral, claiming she isn't authorized to order gynecological screenings...
So, where does that leave me?🤷
I didn't encounter any of these bureaucratic hurdles with the exact same request last year...
