6ixty 8ight (props for a cool name!) is a clothing and lingerie brand that originated from the…read moreMainland. To me, their clothes are kind of reminiscent of H&M and Cotton On, but are even cheaper! They've become more popular in HK recently and have opened up more branches - the biggest one is in Miramar Shopping Centre at TST. 6ixty8ight specializes in bras - their bras are really cute and colorful, and have really adorable prints too! Yes, I know it really doesn't matter, but I would choose a cute bra with pastel-colored daisies all over them than a plain, boring beige one any day! Some of their bras are the racer back type, meaning that if you wear a racer back tank top, you won't be able to see the straps. I thought it was a good idea initially and I actually bought one with this design, but found it kind of uncomfortable the first time I wore it out. Maybe I just wasn't used to this type, but I haven't worn it since! I love that their bras are available in so many designs and colors! Neon pink, baby blue, mint green... they have it all. They don't have a lot of neutral colors like nude and black, which can be a downside in that the colored bras might show through your tops if they're a little sheer. They're all very reasonably priced between the range of $38 to $128. The clothes here are quite nice too, and are very affordable. Most things don't go for more than $128, even jeans! I got a pair of acid washed jeggings at only $98 last year, and they're so comfortable! Actually, at the cashier, I was told that if I buy four pairs at $48! I can buy four pairs for a cheaper price than buying one?! That's insane - and that's $12 for a pair of jeggings! I couldn't buy four pairs all for myself but in hindsight, I regret not buying four and maybe giving two or three pairs to friends. However, I did buy two tops last year - the same but in pink and navy, because buying two was $128 whereas one was $98 - and I found that they kind of itch at the sleeves. Overall, this is a great place to buy bras - I haven't had the same gratifying feeling with all my clothing purchases though unfortunately!

"Excuse me. Do you know where the Sincerity Travel is in Mong Kok?"…read more"It is right next to Argyle Centre." As I was trying to get my student card ready, I was in Mong Kok trying to find that place but I ended up getting lost somewhere and had to resort to ask for help. The way he told me where that was made it sound like everyone knew where Argyle Centre was. Well, not for me. I seriously had no idea where that was. I just kept asking everyone along the way. Thankfully I made it. Turns out Argyle Centre is one of those malls for teens. I realized that teenage girls love coming here and I can tell by the number of people in this tiny little small here. You can see all kind of shops and I seriously do not think that any guys would come here as most shops here sell heels, accessories, dresses and basically women's stuff. So to be honest, I was literally the odd man out surrounded by all those girls. Anyway, the stuff here is extremely cheap. Well normally for guys, my shirt alone would cost me a few hundreds, but here a dress only costs around HKD$50. Wow! Are you serious? Well, design and taste aside... you can still buy lots of cheap stuff here. However, I believe everyone knows this place better than I do. I am so ashamed to call myself a local at this point. So if you are looking for decent clothes at a cheaper price, come here then.

Argyle Center is teenage shopping heaven. It's shop after shop and floor after floor of trendy…read moreclothes and accessories, all at EXTREMELY affordable prices. And I can't stress this enough - we're talking earrings for $10, shorts for $30 kind of cheap! Argyle Center is about a five minutes' walk from the MTR station. It's pretty easy to find your way - or you could just follow that group of teenagers in front of you because that's probably the way they're heading. The variety of things at Argyle is endless. You can find anything from backpacks with huge dolls attached to them to bags appropriate for you to bring for work - that's how much choice you'll have there. The mall is obviously catered to teenagers, but I don't think anybody could possibly leave here empty handed! Don't worry, it's not just all clothes and accessories - you can also find really fun novelty items and gifts there, like drinking games sets, offensive but funny cards and prank toys. If you're a fan of Korean pop music, you'll be able to find some shops that sell Korean celebrities merchandise like badges and posters. A word of caution though: some of the things here can be pretty tacky and cheap-looking - you'll see a lot of bright t-shirts with badly spelled words that make no sense and bags with so many studs nobody should be let within a metre-radius of them. But once in a while, you'll see a decent looking sweater or a necklace that doesn't look half bad. Most shopkeepers are willing to bargain, so you can get things cheaper than they already are! If there's a defect in something you want and it's the last remaining piece, don't be afraid to ask for a discount - you'll almost definitely get one! At all costs, do NOT come on a weekend because this place will be super crowded! You won't be able to browse much because you'll be knocking elbows with others who are trying to get a close look too, and it really just isn't worth coming on a weekday. Come on a weekday because there will be significantly less people! The key to shopping at Argyle is to be patient - you'll see some seriously tacky clothes, and you'll be bumping into other people because the mall isn't huge - but persistence is key! Poke around long enough and I'm sure you'll leave with a couple of good buys!

I want to be the kind of person that supports local designers and shops at their boutiques - I…read morereally do. But most of it that I see is just too frilly, or too quirky, or too outlandish for me. I'll attest that it's true, I'm not bold that way, as evident from the fact that my wardrobe is give or take 50% H&M. Bess is one of the few local boutiques that I feel actually fit my style and has slowly become one of my favorite places to shop! The interior of Bess looks quite plain - the walls are a pale blue color and the clothes themselves are all either black, white, grey or shades of blue. There are exceptions of course, but that's basically Bess in a nutshell. These actually happen to be my favorite colors to wear, so it's not like in other stores where my eyes would just skip anything that's say, bright pink or pale yellow - my eyes are free to wander here! Bess is also quite often on sale; it's just a matter of the proportion of things that are on sale and are full price. The style here is effortless yet sophisticated, and most of the clothes here are more loose and flow-y than tight-fitting. I wouldn't say the clothes are incredibly girly, but they're definitely not athletic-type wear either. One of my favorite things that I've bought from Bess is a gorgeous black waterfall cardigan - it was the first thing that caught my attention when I stepped into Bess that day as it was displayed on a mannequin. The cardigan is of a thin material, but not too thin that you feel like you're wearing nothing, so it's perfect for the fall time. It's also super versatile and I feel like it could go with any outfit, whether casual or dressy. It was around $300 when I bought it on discount, which is more than worth it seeing how often I've worn it since! The sales ladies at Bess are very nice and helpful too, and will usually ask you if there's anything in mind that you're looking for. I've always found that the quality of clothes here are good too. I'd really recommend for anyone (well, just you ladies out there - sorry guys, but they don't do menswear!) to check out Bess if you haven't already!

I think most of us know of H&M, but not many from the states know of Monki. It's own by the same…read morecompany as H&M, but the style and quality of the clothes here are definitely a step up. I'd say Monki is a bit like Urban Outfitters. The clothes are trendy and it caters to people who want to be fashionable without spending a heap of money. This particular location was literally the size of a shoe box, so the selection was lacking compared to larger shops, but I was able to pick up a shirt and a bag. Both of which costs under $200 HKD!

I don't go to Mong Kok very often, but when I do, I try to squeeze in a trip to Monki at Langham…read morePlace. Monki is right next to H&M - and also, in my opinion, the worst H&M there is because it's permanently crowded and they never seem to turn up the air conditioning. So whenever I'm at Langham, I always give the H&M a miss and head straight for Monki. The clothes at Monki range from girly to things you can sort of create a goth look out of, making it a place where everyone can find something that they like. It's one of the few places I know with sizes XXS, so it's great for people who are a little on the smaller size. I've bought everything from nice dresses to basics here and I find that the quality of clothes here is not bad at all. The accessories section at Monki is worth checking out - they have some really cool jewelry like statement necklaces that go great when paired with solid tops. Their stuff doesn't look cheap either. Last year, they were doing a sale on their tote bags, and I was out shopping with a friend from Singapore and she bought 2 back. They were only around $50 each, if I'm not wrong, the designs were cute and the cloth seemed pretty solid and durable. The changing rooms at Monki are really cool - they're filled with mirrors on each side, so looking straight into any one is nothing short of a real life optical illusion! I do wish Monki would have more sales though - usually, they just have one section of stuff on sale and some accessories too. I've never been to Monki and seen that they're having a huge sale. Hopefully, that will change the next time that I am there!

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!
