Popular shops

Time for another entry this one will be about popular shops in Victoria BC, hopefully you will find this handy when shopping for new clothing.

I'll start off with the malls located in Victoria.

The Bay centre is the most popular mall in Victoria since it is located downtown and near the main bus routes. 

You will mostly find common stores like Urban Planet, Blue notes, Syrins and other less expensive shops.

There are also more expensive shops such as Club Manaco which has more tasteful clothing.

Next off is Mayfair mall

Mayfair mall is located on Douglas Street and is also popular among teenagers.

You will mostly find almost the same shops as you would in The Bay centre but there are exclusives you will only find in Mayfair such as, Banana Republic, Sephora and many others.

The last Mall I will be talking about is Uptown.

Uptown is the newest and soon to be most popular mall in all Victoria. There is big brand companies such as Forever 21, H and M, Joey fresh, Walmart and many others. 

It also has mini boutiques in which you can find unique styles for a bit more of a cost.
Uptown is still not finished but once it s done, I'm sure Uptown will be the new popular districts to shop at.

Enough will the Malls I will now move on too more local shops in the area.

Johnson Street, is a very popular street full of many local shops with very urban styles. Many thrift shops are located on this street, many of which are inexpensive and you will find unique types of clothing. There are also many boutiques among this street. I highly recommend shopping along this street.

The last area I will be talking about is Cook Street Village.

Cook street village is located on cook street close to Beacon Hill Park, it has many local boutiques you will surely find something right for you there that you will find no where else in the area.

The last thing I will take note on is a store I highly recommend is called "Side Show".

Side show is located on Johnson street and is a downstairs boutique located by Baggins shoes.
Side show carries many unique clothing, jewellery and shoes. They specialise in vintage clothing and alterations, they feature many local designers and sell their items in the shop.
The shop owner is a wonderful gal and so friendly you'll just have to buy something!
