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 
) and felt a bit depressed when I felt mildly more at home in Next...
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...

Primark [cheap and nasty emoticon]

Definitely Primark. I'm 32 and I do buy one off things in 'quality' shops, but I stock up at Primark and always feel a pang of excitement when I go into a Primark store...

Monsoon. Not sure if this is a good thing!
I like patterns and colour so works for me. Also the shop assistants are not all 19 and too cool for school.
I am 36 - and a size 14 BTW ( I suspect size is as important to this question as age)

John Lewis. Which is so damn sad but I always end up in there. I blame my mother.
(Am 36 and not very stylish)

I don't know if it's still there but it was in Swanage, called Rainbow's End. Don't know if I'll ever get back there either.

Liberty. I always feel at home in Liberty with the creaky wooden floors and mishmash of labels. It's been a while since I was there.....

Love Liberty, Selfridges, Fenwick, Harrods.
And the whole of Bond Street. And Primark.
I am 39 in a couple of weeks time.

I know what you mean, I'm a bit stuck with this. It used to be Jigsaw but they have changed and have a lot of poncy, ugly stuff now. I do like going to White Stuff though I actually like very little of what they have, but there are often one or two things I love.
John Lewis is definitely my shopping home for non-clothing stuff though. The lovely crockery, the cosmetics bit, fabrics and crafts, kids' stuff, kitchen and camping stuff, garden stuff... I could quite happily actually live there.
Field and Treck or Decathlon

Debenhams on account of being able to buy lots of things from different shops without leaving the store.
Some of the surf shops.
Charity shops.
Gosh, you lot are all either loaded or just windown shoppers
If I had the money I would shop at White Stuff and Cult clothing, with the odd bit of Jack Wills thrown in too.
