shopping in mumbai

I live in Mumbai so i thought i'd write bout everyone's fav pastime- shoppin out here.
I'd say you get the best deals in Hill Road, Bandra coz not only do u get almost everyting u can possibly think of, but also at reasonable rates. Believe me, if u look, u'll find some very cool clothes that are such a steal. And the accessories, and shoes & mugs & even linen & underwear- its all good!If you're looking for good stuff & cheap deals, this is the place.
I think Linking road is just overhyped. I mean, the place is littered with shoes, bags that aren't so great & the clothes are just, not even worth a second look. So if you wanna walk around in the sun & maybe try buying something thats overpriced anyways then you're just wasting yo time.
Colaba causeway is fun if you're willing to shell out some more money. Especially a couple of these shops tucked away along the causeway do have some good stuff if you're lucky. The tshirts & tops selling on the causeway are not too bad either. But u can't bargain much around here for accessories so i guess colaba causeway is a true paradise mainly for foreign tourists.
Then there's Phoenix Mills. Cant say much. You know, if u want something cheaper, you enter Big Bazaar( it's specially good for jeans tho ) & otherwise there's a bunch of hi fi shops like Pantaloons, Lifestyle watever.
Another place some might tend to overlook is Dadar TT. They do have some nice stuff lined out all over. So if u look around u might find sumting that catches your eye. Oh yah, i almost forgot. You get nice pants which u can use as pajamas for like 20 bucks in Flora Fountain. There's also t-shirts selling for 20 bucks at the same place. And while ur at it, check out the pavement opposite Flora Fountain for all the books u ever wanted. You can buy or even rent from here. Have fun!
