Finally! Another H&M open on the Island side as of late October…read more I like H&M because the clothes actually look good (the only exception is probably the Uniqlo UT line), and doesn't break your bank balance. And this store is actually big meaning lots of variety and something for everyone. Not only that, theres also a homewares section (decorations, bathroom stuff, etc) on the top floor making this store a very worthy rival to Muji.

This, my friends, is an exemplary H&M - hence the 5 stars…read more Notice how the merchandise at most H&M's is typically squeezed so close together, you end up inadvertently knocking stuff off the racks as you sift through it? This happens to me, anyway... and regularly. But not at this new Asia flagship location. The goods are dispersed over 4 floors and a whopping 47,000 square feet. That's a huge deal in Hong Kong, where space comes at a premium! All that extra room results in a wholly enjoyable, stress-free H&M shopping experience. You didn't think it was possible, did you? In addition to the well-organized fashion, this location boasts an H&M Home store on the top floor! There you'll find a slew of well-curated and affordable goodies for the home... anything from soft duvets and chic pillow covers to plush towels and rustic kitchen knick-knacks. For an upcoming Thanksgiving dinner that I'll be hosting in my flat, I purchased some place mats and kitchen items (I don't often cook, so now I'm set with the essentials). I also found a pair of perfectly-distressed slim-fit boyfriend (I know, an oxymoron) jeans that I LOVE. I'm soon going back to fetch a back-up pair as I know I'll wear those babies to an untimely death. Well-done, H&M! And welcome to Causeway Bay.

Bershka is one of my favorite stores to shop at. I've been a fan ever since I stumbled upon it at…read morethe basement level of Times Square. Over the next few months, I emerged from the store shopping bag in hand more often than I didn't, When Bershka was replaced by something else about a year ago, I'm not going to lie... I was a little crushed. But ever since I realized that there's a bigger Bershka over at Olympian City in Tai Kok Tsui, I've more than gotten over it. The Bershka here is less crowded than it used to be at Times Square, presumably because of its more offbeat location in Olympic. There's always a section filled with great sales, and it's not like other stores where with things on sale, only the L's and XL's are left - they usually have what I like in my size. And best of all, the changing rooms are great! There are more than five cubicles and they're all pretty spacious. There's hardly a need to line up for the changing rooms, compared to the old one at Times Square - I think I had to queue up every time there! The style at Bershka is pretty diverse - you can find full-on animal print stuff, or you can opt for a basic, solid color tee. They've got super casual tanks and shorts, but if you're attending something more formal like a prize ceremony or a fancy dinner, you'll be able to find something here too. While Bershka is catered to the younger audience, my mother has been able walk out with a couple of buys, so it goes to show that there's something for everyone here! Best of all, Bershka is pretty affordable. Tops on sale aren't usually more than $100, and most of their jeans are on sale right now for just $139! The quality is not bad too. So what are you waiting for? Come on down to Bershka before they put most of those sale items away and bring out the fall items - you won't walk out empty-handed!

Outlet mall located about 10 minutes from the airport and perfect for shopping before or after your…read moreflight. Citygate Outlets has a little bit of everything. From high-end brands like Burberry to Nike, along with many local and international stores offering big discounts. As a visitor and first-timer, the mall was a little confusing to navigate at first, but it's very convenient since it's directly connected to the Tung Chung station. There are also restaurants and additional shops outside of the mall area, which gives the area a lively atmosphere. Both the Novotel Citygate Hong Kong and The Silveri Hong Kong hotels are attached, making it super convenient for travelers. One thing about Hong Kong, there are lots of shopping malls. This one I wasn't too impressed with.

Located just 10 minutes away from the Hong Kong Airport, this mall has several clothing, souvenirs…read moreand electronics stores. There's also a movie theater and a myriad of restaurants offering authentic food. I came across this place called Lian Vietnamese and Thai cuisine. I ordered the Tofu and mushroom salad, Thai Chicken skewers, Thai Wings and a strawberry and guava smoothie. The food had amazing flavor and was delicious. Of the dishes the Tofu salad was the best. The Tofu was seasoned and cooked perfectly as were the mushrooms. The portions were large enough and priced accordingly. It's definitely a place I'd recommend when visiting Hong Kong if you're looking to kill a little time before your flight.

The innovative minds behind Lane Crawford and JOYCE have transformed Queensway Plaza into a new…read morefashion and lifestyle hub - Lab Concept. Located above Admiralty MTR station and directly connected to Pacific Place. With an all-white open space atmosphere, the moment I stepped in, it feels so refreshing and inviting. What I love most and find interesting about is the innovative vending machine pop-up store concept (located opposite Simplylife), where people can shop on the go. They have previously stocked American Apparel tank tops, Havaianas flip-flops, Matcha dessert coupon, etc., and currently showcasing a brand new fabric care experience, The Laundress. There are beauty counters, unique fashion stores, Shoespace, music and books. I usually will take a break and have a coffee at Holly Brown, while you can also grab some lunch/dinner at Simplylife. So, what are you waiting for? Check it out!

For the last eight months I've witnessed how Lab Concept has grown and developed into what it is…read moretoday: an elegant beauty, fashion and dining hub. And I say I've witnessed because I have to get to United Centre and walk through Queensway Plaza (where Lab Concept is) to get to my office. So I've been to pretty much every store in there. Last shop to open there was TopShop, and I was sooo happy about it! The store in Central is quite big already but having this one downstairs was so convenient! Shame that they don't have many shoes...for that you may want to head to Shoespace though, especially during sales, where they separate the shoes in sizes and have great discounts. For beauty stores they've gathered a good number of brands: MAC, Aesop, Innisfree, Fresh (just opened!)...to name a few. They not only sell products but they also have some beauty treatments. Only problem being that it'll all opened and there's little privacy. As for the dining places you can head to Holly Brown or Starbucks for coffee, Aroma for cakes and Crystal Jade or Simplylife for lunch or dinner. A recommendation here: go to Simplylife at lunch time and order the set lunch (read my review about it). Just be aware that Queensway Plaza is pretty busy at lunch time and you will have to queue at some of the restaurants (especially Simply). Lab Concept already looks pretty amazing to me but as it kept changing over the last months I suspect some other stores will be opening here...excited!

In a city where there seems to be a mall at every corner, this mall is different in that it's not…read moreas huge and extensive as the other ones. There are three levels to this mall and can feel like a bit of a maze. On the ground floor, it's anchored by a couple of big name shoe stores, and then in the upper two levels you have some of the smaller named shops with one or two dining options. What I love is that everything is new here, so if you're in need of using the restroom while shopping around MK, this is the place to go for a pit stop.

I was not familiar with this brand and have found their window displays very cool with a western,…read moreurban, fur, burlap, long and drapy kind of feel (not sure this makes sense). Today I officially stopped in. Come to find out the brand is young, having only been founded in 2005. Clothes are indeed made with natural fibers that are designed to be particularly resistant yet worn as every day wear. Mohairs, cotton, jersey, etc...thus I was not too off by picking this up in their window display. The shop is small and I felt like there was not very much product to see. Nobody said hello to me as I flipped through the clothes around the shop for a few minutes. Clothes are piced in the $1000-$3000 price range on average (not on sale and this is what I was seeing for fall/winter clothing) for stuff that I was not sure about on craftsmanship or quality. There were some unknowns in my head as I perused the racks. Maybe a line to watch as it grows in the world or maybe another Yelper can contribute more info about what I should love about this line or this store, but to me it gets a Yelp 3. The Yelper who wrote the review in August of 2014 before mine loves this brand, but based on her photos she was shopping during the summer sale time.

I wish the store was closer to home!…read more Manila Grace is a women's clothing store located away from the crazy hustle and bustle in Causeway Bay. The store feels so fresh as soon as you walk in. There are lots of blues, whites, creams and other calming colors throughout. Manila Grace is an Italian brand that houses casual, chic clothing. The styles are very relaxed and the fabrics are light and airy. I saw many pieces that I would consider wearing in the store that looked comfortable, but also had a bit of an edge to them. According to my husband, who thinks he pegged my style, this is a classy hippy clothing store. Manila Grace also has some very unique accessories which are available for purchase. They have gorgeous scarves and I was infatuated with their partially woven jewelry. I found a necklace that I liked that was half rose gold colored, and the other half is woven. and the salesperson kept showing it to me in different colors. When I finally selected the one I wanted to purchase, she showed me a different length of the necklace which made my decision making even more challenging. Manila Grace brings style to classic comfort. This is a very popular style in Hong Kong, so this store will probably be around for a while. Prices are mid-ranged and they use high quality fabrics so that clothing will last.

It appears to have the same stuff and is marketed the same in the layout of the store, with the one exception that this store is all on one floor versus being on two floors in Hong Kong. Great clothes that are structured, timeless, a great price point and with the exception of anything made from merino wool (I dont buy merino wool, because I dont like how it can snag), all of the fabrics from COS have washed really well and retained their shape with little worry. I am a COS fan!
