I pag-ibig shopping! It's one of my favourite hobbies. I once did this for a poll, a couple of years ago. I thought I'd take it a step further. So this is completely in my opinion. This about choosing shops that match their personalities and other little details about them like how they decorate a tahanan or what their hobbies are for example. The shops that I've chosen are the ones I visit, have walked past, visited online or have actually shopped in.

I've added one extra for Jasmine. One of my mga kaibigan mentioned it. I checked it out online and I'm very happy with it. I hope you will be too.


Ariel



Debenhams has a colourful swimwear collection. They have patterned and plain bold or pretty coloured full swimming costumes or bikinis and beautiful sarongs. I think would be Ariel's favourite part of the shop.




Young at heart. Ariel would spend hours in here. I can see her hanging around the barbie doll section. Buying different collections of Barbie clothes and even buying Barbie mga sirena to play with in the bath.





Ariel loves singing, she loves music. She could learn to pag-ibig dancing freestyle. She has her own style of music but if Ariel's beginning is anything to go by. I think she'd enjoy experimenting with other kinds of music. Also the genres of music in the tindahan are Rock and Pop, Dance, Soundtrack, Easy Listening, Metal, Jazz, Soul, World Music, Classical and Hip Hop/Rap. She'd be able to buy some fantastic gifts for her sisters who also pag-ibig music and each have their own favourite style. Ariel doesn't strike me as a book person. Unless she made mga kaibigan with bookworm like Belle. Whether watching pantasiya or reality I think she would benefit from watching DVDs. Her curiosity for the human world is very strong. She'd be able learn about humanity through films, documentaries, tv, keep fit programs and more. That's if her adventures came to a stop.


Belle



If Belle was student she'd pag-ibig this shop. The one on Charing tumawid in London is the largest shop. It's got about five floors and one lower ground. It has reference books on everything. As well as a collection of DVDs which includes music DVDs except they're all ballets or opera performances. They also have a classical CD collection and sell medical equipment including scrub uniforms. And of course they also sell many genres of fictional books including the classics.




Another book tindahan to browse in. Some shops have a few floors, some have cafes, some have no floors. But either way they keep the reference books away from the fiction. They also have board games, notebooks and calendars. In my hometown tindahan they have a colouring book therapy section including coloured pencils and felt tips on sale. It's mainly for adults and young adults to de-stress. The ones that have cafes, they allow you to read books you haven't bought yet whilst eating or drinking. I can see Belle doing that. It would be relaxing.



Jasmine



Costume Jewellery! Every summer they do bold multi-coloured jewellery, bags and scarves. It will have you craving to eat a bag of Skittles or something equally as fruity or sweet. This Autumn they've done brown and gold. However December is coming in and they've changed to madami gold, glitter covered bags of ginto and silver. Turquoise and ginto chained necklaces and earrings. I think hasmin would pag-ibig this shop. They constantly change their range. This store is in Milton Keynes, it's one of the bigger stores. The one in my hometown is smaller and changes every season. The only thing they rarely do is chunky exotic pieces. Still I think she would like it.





All Ears is an independent, family run tindahan offering a range of interesting and unusual items from around the world. It was established in 1972 and since then has continued to sell beautifully crafted artikulo rarely found elsewhere.






Jasmanique was established in 2000 sa pamamagitan ng sisters, the family run boutique has become a hub of stylish and sartorial activity. The sisters have nurtured their unbridled passion for style and clothing, resulting in a treasure trove of clothing for all occasions and for every woman. Catering for both Western and Asian occasion-wear, Jasmanique earnestly pinagmulan unique outfits and accessories from across the globe, offering an exciting and unique look with a warm and friendly service. Walking into Jasmanique is like walking into your best mga kaibigan closet (except it’s full of new and exciting things) as they help you dress from head to toe. hasmin is one stylish fashionista. She'd be able to find lots of purple dresses, a few aqua dresses and exotic jewellery as well as headpieces.



Pocahontas & Mulan

Before I continue please understand that finding something separate for these two is very difficult. I could only think of one shop, the same tindahan for both of them. Which is why I've joined them together.




This tindahan used to my hometown but it closed down. I used to buy music from here. Pocahontas and Mulan are spiritual. So it's only natural that I'd think of Isis. In some shops they provide meditation and therapy. They do everything from mga kerubin to Zen.



Look out for Part 3...
