I am 5'10 and I definitely never have to look at boy's jeans to find pants long enough. I got my last pair of skinnies at American Eagle and their longs actually bunched up at my ankles a little, but you get what you pay for in terms of quality. (They are not that good, but they are cheap.) Stores like New York & Co. have longer options and I've been pretty happy with their pants and the Gap has extra long which might be good for you. (Old Navy is the same company, but they do not have extra long, but their longs are pretty good length and fit me pretty ok.) I've also got a pair of DKNY skinnies which are really great and they're plenty long enough. I think lately a lot more clothing companies have been realizing that tall girls do exist (!!!), so they've been coming out with better inseam variety.
I know nothing about higher quality denim, but most of the places I get my jeans average $25-50 a pair. I generally don't like spending too much money on clothing simply because I ruin them with paint, ink, etc before I even get holes in them, so I haven't really made much of an investment in my pants other than the DKNYs because they fit like a dream and I wanted black skinny jeans.

black skinny jeans are the shit. i've been without a pair all summer and i swear to god it's affecting me emotionally. both my pairs broke in the span of two months and it was terrible, they were the only pants i wore for almost two years.

-A lot of more expensive jeans are quite long in the inseam because they are meant to be adjusted to the wearer.
-$50 is probably fine for jeans if you're not trying to be Captain Fashion
- How skinny do you want the jeans to be? I always had a hard time finding men's skinnys that tapered all the way down to the ankle, which is probably why a lot of dudes wear girl jeans in the first place. If you don't need them to be insanely skinny you should do fine. Added bonus: Boy's jeans have PROPER POCKETS.

Guys Roots Canada stores have just got in Levi's denim jackets and they are exactly the style I like and also $85 this is amazing and I am getting one. Be excited for me.
($85 is cheap for a Levis jacket, right? N. America is a confusing place)

Amusingly enough, I just went shopping yesterday with a petite lady friend and literally every article of clothing she picked up at several stores was absurdly large on her, even in the smallest size they offered.
(She's about 5'4", 110lbs)
Try Allsaints. They're formerly a London high street boutique which expanded into a small chain that makes really nice clothing. For some odd reason, all of their women's clothing is designed for tall girls.
Stay away from their leather (jackets, boots) but everything else is pretty high quality.
From what I gather they're having a summer sale. I'm certain you can pick up a pair of skinnies in that price range.

Backing Gene up on Allsaints. All of their women's stuff is quite good
