If you could name one shop that is your spiritual shopping home, what would it be?

And if I may be so cheeky, can you tell me how old you are?!

I went shopping today for the 1st time in months if not years, and felt totally out of place! Felt old in Top Shop and River Island, couldn't face being too cheap and nasty in Primark/New Look (although I did pick a few things up there grin) and felt a bit depressed when I felt mildly more at home in Next...sad

I know you need to pick up things from different places, but there is something comforting about knowing that you will generally always find something in a certain shop.

i am 33 btw and no longer know where I shop...

White stuff - they do really good sales. My favourite ever denim skirt cost £20 from there. I love White stuff - they def know what suits women older than teenagers...

Joseph and Maxmara. I'm 36 and size 8. Unfortunately I will be unemployed very soon, so will have to reassess sad. Actually I have more fun buying clothes for my kids though.

H&M and New Look. Occasionally Topshop and Coast. I'm 23.

Saying that I did nearly buy a dress in Harvey Nichols yesterday but I have nowhere to wear it.

Liberty.
I get some calming Breakfast at Tiffany's thing going on when I walk in there. The man who has been there for ages knows me (a first for me) and there are hardly any people.
happy days

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
