IF you could only ever shop in the *one* shop again, which would it be?

[Liffey]

I know it's boring but I think I would say Oasis. They're not the cheapest so I'd have to buy fewer things, cos I usually buy lots of crap in prima. {blush]

Even though I like loads of other shops too. H&M and Principles and Wallis and Warehouse and Primark.

[nickytwotimes]

LAura Ashley if I had more dosh.

[themoon66]

Zara I think.... although if I said M&S i could then have underwear, food, flowers, sofas, chairs, bedlinen, etc.

John Lewis (or is that cheating?)

[HeadFairy]

Selfridges Harvey Nicks

Prob John Lewis though.

[BlueCowWonders]

John lewis, then a decent coffee afterwards and all the accessories a heart could desire!

[nickytwotimes]

Now, now, department stores are just cheating!

[spicemonster]

John Lewis. That's a really middle-aged middle-class answer.

[TrinityWino]

asda

dont know anything about the shops you have listed

[puppydavies]

prolly h&m cos they have good basics and fashion stuff and classic knitwear/workwear etc. and while i have absolutely no intention of needing it again their maternity stuff rocks too. it's all inexpensive and mostly pretty impressive quality considering.

[FimboGotAxed]

Fat Face for casual

Hobbs for smart

[HaventSleptForAYear]

I think Oasis is a good choice - although last time I was back in England everything just looked wierd to me in there.

I loved White Stuff and it's quite "right" for me at the moment but I couldn't shop there forever!

[Heathcliffscathy]

h&m.

if i was fuck off rich then selfridges or harvey nicks obv.

[2cats2many]

Definately John Lewis.

[Liffey]

lol at the middle-aged answer. Just wondering why I didn't think of that. I need to start shopping in department stores. I'll have a coffee while i think about what I need, and then I'll finish with another coffee and a think about what I bought.

[ChippyMinton]

Kew, if it was forever.

[Carmenere]

Without any hesitation Selfridges. Fantastic clothes, fantastic food, fantastic wine, great furniture and kitchen stuff, good book dept and bars and restaurants too.

I don't think I could cope with dressing only from one high street shop. But if I had to, it would be Gap, without question.

I thought about this the other day - but in terms of "if I had to wear one label forever what would it be" and I think I decided on Donna Karan (would live in DKNY mainly, obv, and only break out the main label for party wear or special occasions ). But that leaves me with a bit of a jeans problem. So maybe I'd go all Lady Helen and stick with Armani - but I think overall it is a bit dull and classic......

Oh, such a problem.

I'm assuming we have a fantasy budget to go with this fiction.

[princesspeahead]

If I had to buy clothes in John Lewis I would shoot myself.

It is all fleeces and dodgy prints and Alexon separates, isn't it?

PURLEASE

[princesspeahead]

eurgh, I rest my case!

[Pannacotta]

H&M, no way for JOhn Lewis, local branch full of doddery old dears....

[Liffey]

I like this, and I could get a coffee overlooking the river afterwards

[EachPeachPearMum]

They have Coast, Oasis, Jesire, Fenn Wright Manson, phase 8 etc in ours... so not all country casuals, no

[HeadFairy]

Depends on your John Lewis branch, we have Peter Jones a 20 min bus ride away, so deffo not frumpy. However, to stick to the original question, possibly Jigsaw/Kew but would struggle for the slouchy stuff. Actually that might not be a bad thing, would certainly have to smarten up a bit!
