Name of Shop: LA RINASCENTE
La Rinascente La Rinascente is one of the most famous department stores in Italy and one of my favorite places to shop when I'm in Rome. Usually I'll come to replenish my Princess Marcella Borghese face products and make-up. Yes, I am currently using this Italian brand and I must admit, I love their eye-mask best! Molto buono!
What To Buy: Shoes, Women's and Men's clothes, Cosmetics.... Household products, designer wear etc. They sell everything here!
What To Pay: Expect to pay department store prices and more (for designer products)...

Name of Shop: Women's Clothing
These shopping malls are worth checking out: - Centro Commerciale La RomaninaAddress: Via Enrico Ferri, Roma, 00169 Touted as the biggest and most crowded shopping mall in Rome, this place sells everything! If you run out of cash, not to worry. There are banks and ATM machines where you can quickly withdraw your Euros. Hungry? Not to worry again. There are many cafes and restaurants to make you go dizzy ;-) - Cinecittà DueAddress: Via Vincenzo Lamaro, Roma, 00173 Another huge shopping mall which sells everything!

Name of Shop: Women's Clothing
My favorite boutiques in Rome are: Salvatore Ferragamo at: Via de Condotti 73, Rome. Ferragamo also have a smaller boutique right at the foot of the Spanish Steps. Their shoes are simply to-die for! And they are almost 40% to 50% cheaper than if you were to buy them in Asia! If I can't carry too many boxes of shoes back to Singapore, I'll get them to ship it instead. The sales assistants are friendly and if you buy a few pairs of shoes, they'll even give you a discount (that is, if you manage to charm them enough). La Perla at: Via De Condotti 79, Rome Wearing La Perla lingerie would make any woman feel sexy. But most importantly, it costs 40% cheaper to buy here vis-a-vis shopping in Asia (the worst country to shop in Asia is Japan. Everything is so expensive there!). Missoni at: Via del Babuino 102, Rome I love, love, love Missoni! And the boutique is conveniently located right across the Spanish Steps.
What To Buy: If you come from Asia (like me), most Italian designer clothings and shoes cost almost 50% more than what you would pay if you were to buy it in Italy. I am referring to big designer brands like Gucci, Ferragamo, Gianfranco Ferre, Gianni Versace et al. So, if you ever see an Asian (Japanese or Chinese) shopping at Via Condotti or at Via Veneto like there is no tomorrow... you now know the reason why! ;-) I usually bring along a half-filled luggage so that I can replenish most of my clothes and shoes when I'm in Italy. Sometimes, my girlfriends give me a list of their shopping to do. That's fine for me. I don't mind shopping for them because I enjoy more discounts at these boutiques if I were to buy in bulk.
