Favorite places to shop

Do you ever have these places that you go to by default when shopping? Even if you’re in a different country and should visit stores you don’t have in your home country, you still visit those ones? Yes, that’s me! Here are my favorite places to shop, along with a few others suggested by some people I asked.

Mine for clothes and shoes
H&M
Forever 21
Birshka
New Look

I like these places because they have all the basics. It’s no weird or extravagant or over-the-top clothes. They have everything you need and more and the simple style fits my taste best.

Mine for accessories
I AM
Swarovski (especially for gifts)
Parfois

Parfois I only discovered recently but when I did, I just fell in love with their supply. I wanted to buy the whole store and as for the others, I can never go into their place and not want to buy at least 3 different accessories. I buy all my fancy gifts from Swarovski too because they have amazing jewelry for really reasonable prices I believe.

Now here’s what some of my friends think in terms of malls or places to shop.

Ahmed Emam likes Mall of Qatar because “it has all the brands in one place.”

Tamim Marwan also says “I like to shop at lagoona they have a bunch of great stores there, for example PdH, Ted Baker. Ezdan is great too, they have Sacoor Brothers and Tommy. Salaam can have great deals if you go early during sale season. Of course also Mall of Qatar since they have stores not available elsewhere.”

As for Iman Khaled she likes “Debenhams because it has a huge variety all under 1 roof and Riva because there are many hijabi options and sizes. I also like Punt Roma and Matalan in Gulf Mall because they have a wide range of options and sizes and hijabi options.” Which is very important especially in Qatar because a lot of covered women, including myself, live here.

Lina Taha believes, “Zara, I AM, and M Dutti offer good quality clothing and accessories that are constantly trending.”

So these are some of the places people like to shop in, in Qatar and the reasons why. What are yours? Help us get some ideas as to where we should shop if we need something specific.

Although not much of an avid shopper, but sometimes I prefer local non-branded shops in the commercial complexes, or the least recognized brands in hypermarkets ...its not because of "cheap" tag, but as a part of my effort to help keep their sales up. Sure enough, those clothing shops are not bad either at times...
