Shopping here?

Hey, right now I'm visiting London and Paris for the first time and I am hoping to pick up a couple clothing peices. I have no idea where to go for the best clothes though, so those of you who live in/have been to the London and Paris area, please share where you think the best places to go are.

:]

I'm going to London twice in the next two weeks.
You should have a look in Soho.
Camden's over rated.
Try Spittlefields.

Soho is very cool. We wandered into china town which I thought was worth seeing and very close to it. I liked Camden but where I live is pretty bad for any kind of alternative scene.

Oh okay.
Well, thank you very much, I might try to get to Soho.

I found a couple good shops, but I can't remember where in London I was, haha!
The store was called Top-something I think.

If you found a couple of good shops that included Topshop I'd put a bet on it being around Oxford St.

Then again Topshop seems to be pretty much everywhere.

Yes! Topshop was the name.
And yes, I took a look at my Dad's map, I was around there.

True, there has been one everywhere I have been so far which was two places in Scotland and London.

Camden's fine for everything animal print and a few good band shirts. Every Australian deathrocker who goes there comes back with what I call the "London Set": leopard print, zebra print and vertical striped jeans (for the 'deluxe set' add bone-print and snake print jeans) and a selection of at least five band shirts, usually including Siouxsie and one or two punk bands. Always.
And I wonder why all deathrockers look the goddamn same nowadays...

I got my snake print jeans from Zara, haha.

Bought Bat Brains green leopard print jeans from Primark for only ten pounds though. LOVE that shop.

Oh man! That's a really good deal.

I bought a pair of black pinstriped-ish pants with zippers on them at a store in Camden for about 20-something pounds. I'm not sure how much that is in dollors.
