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.

When shopping in Pacific Place, Zara is a must. In fact, the only fashion store where I've ever…read morebought anything in this shopping mall. As opposed to the rest of them Zara is not a designer store, neither a high end brand. It's a medium quality, good design clothing and accessories' store. We all know Zara. It may be argued that it does not match in this location but I think it's great that it's there. Today I wanted to buy a bag and it was almost an emergency...I had kept an old one for way too long. As Topshop in Queensway doesn't have many bags (if any at all) I headed to Zara. None of the other stores crossed my mind. What's more: I knew I could find what I was after - a big black bag, rather simple. This season is plagued with those, with a good range of qualities and prices. I finally got Trafaluc one and I love it, it does its job and it's nicely designed. They also have some pretty brown leather bags in this collection. I did have a look at the clothes too; Zara HK is different to Europe's stores (the ones I know) in many ways...not only the design is more minimalistic and the lines simpler but it is also more expensive and it's positioning differs from Europe's. I found the current collection a little boring but still, great to have a Zara just 2 minutes away from my office!

While I love to browse, the premium prices - think 20-30% over US prices plus NO good sales - means I leave empty-handed more often than not.

They anticipate your needs and work with you to find what you need. My favorite of course was the men's shoe line of animal prints. Unique and sophisticated style that only REAL men can pull off. The store was beautifully designed with the right amount of inventory of both men and women's fashion. Shopping at this store is a must for anyone with discerning taste.

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.

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.

So you see little shops and then a big clean H&M store at the end of the street. The men section gets it's own floor at least. They got all the basics and the women gets two floors of clothes. You'll see a lot of Chinese and foreigners in this store wandering about. I personally found some cool items in the men section. Things I didn't see in Causeway Bay H&M, and I love finding new things. Clean store, good items and consistent with H&M brand. And it's a big store. Love it!

Aalis Watch out!…read more Aalis has expanded. The new location in Central has been open for three months and the first store In Causeway Bay, which has been open for about 4 years, is still going strong. This is a one of a kind clothing shop. There was a pair of pants hanging on a rack that drew me into the store. They are a pattern of green, yellow, orange and white, high waisted, light and airy. The kind of remind me of throwback bellbottoms from the '70s. I've sworn I've seen my mom wearing a pair of these in an old black and white photo. The colorful fabric and lack of bell, give these pants a modern twist. They also carry a variety of tops which include statement setters and basics. I really like the use of asymmetrical lines in the clothing. It's just enough to say, "I'm cute, but not your plain old shirt." There are so many items in this store that make you think about great fashion used to be. One of my favorite things about this store is that they carry Nobeing jewelry. This jewelry is unique, bright and will make people turn their heads. Their use of metal and beading creates bold pieces that can be worn with both casual or elegant wear. When your feeling in the mood for something throwback, but cheeky, check out Aalis for some unique gear that pays honor to the good 'ol days.

They will only treat you better if think you are a good customer (from their eyes) and no customer oriented mind at all. I have my first time pre order experience at this shop recently, at the end my order can only be arrived 1 month later that I need to change another on stock items as I will be out of town for a long time. Only one fitting at cwb shop, there is another customer in store that time. The shop manager ask me go to their small stock room to try the clothes which do not have a door, even not able to turn your body at the narrow aisle! As they think I come for trouble, that's their mistake of holding my order much longer than plan without any follow up call until I ask. As I won't able to pickup the item if they can't ready at the committed time. Seriously , that's crazy but I didn't blame her, still acting polite. I told myself I won't buy this shop anymore. Will also tell my friends not to. Their price is not expensive (around $1k per piece) with a bit difference on style , but cutting is not nice actually. You will know what I mean if look for those better cutting items.

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.

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.
