I upendo 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 nyumbani au what their hobbies are for example. The shops that I've chosen are the ones I visit, have walked past, visited online au have actually shopped in.

Updated; I realised I put up the wrong picture for Cinderella's first pick. I wanted to add something about Cinderella's sekunde pick that my mum pointed out. I wasn't happy with Aurora's picks, so she just has one now but I'm happier with it.


Snow White



The duka fits Snow White's personality perfectly.
Nobody loves ironing, but back in 1993, one dull, grey ironing board sparked an idea. Cath Kidston wanted to brighten up everyone's day. Inspired kwa nostalgic childhood memories of vintage England, Cath started designing her own brightly coloured patterns, applying them to modern, practical products. Twenty years on, Cath and her team still take inspiration from vintage finds, designing cheerful, useful things that brighten up everyday life. Today the bestselling range spans Bags, Accessories, Home, Kids and Fashion. And still includes ironing board covers!



Cinderella



Her slippers have been both glass and crystal in both Disney Versions of Cinderella. She's living the high life in high royal society. Now she's no dhahabu digger as I can't see her splashing out and spending millions of pounds. But I think this would be her favourite shop. I can see her admiring everything, maybe trying them on and then Prince Charming buying the pieces she liked for her birthday, anniversary au just because.




An expensive posh department store that sells everything including dress making designs and accessories, and offers advice services. Cinderella's Fairy Godmother can't be there all the time. So who does she turn to for advice in a fashion au make-up crisis? John Lewis Staff of course! au she could make a dress. They have a big section on Haberdashery, on the sekunde au third floor. They have a designer wedding dress department.


Aurora



Phase 8 is perfect for Aurora. Feminine, sophisticated and elegant. I buy my going-to-a-wedding party outfits from there.
