Shopping in Edmonton

I'm going to be visiting my friend in Edmonton in a couple of weeks, and as much as I want to go to West Ed Mall-looking at the mall listings is making me lose my excitement for the world's largest shopping mall :S

Can anyone recommend any shops/areas to go in Edmonton-especially areas with local boutiques? I want to look for things that I can't just buy here in Vancouver. (Style wise, my favorite shop in Vancouver is Plenty if that helps at all).

Also-are there any good denim shops (in West Ed or otherwise)? I'm in need of a new pair of skinnies and I figure I might as well dish out $200 for jeans in a place with only one tax

well i would suggest going to Whyte Ave, there's a lot of really cool boutiques and stores there, but i dont know what Plenty is so i guess i cant really help you compare.
But if you want something that's not just the "typical" shopping mall, do Whyte Ave Happy

^Yeah my friend mentioned that to me. Do you know what the price range is like in many of the stores? I'm not looking to cheap out but I don't really want to spend $150 on a top either. I've got lots to buy!

I would say to check out Whyte Ave as well. Personally I don't think WEM is that great, it's big and all, but it doesn't have any really special stores or anything. Also check out High Street. I myself have never been, but my friend said there are some really cute stores.

Definately Whyte Ave! Just be careful, because there can be some strange people there. The prices range alot, theres a few vintage stores where you could get a shirt for $20, while others (Sophia's etc), shirts are $60 and up.
Definitely check out gravity pope for shoes, sophia's has some really nice designer jeans, american apparel if you havent been. Have fun!
