This little gem is hidden in my neighborhood and I walk by it almost everyday. I had to buy a top, a bag and some jewelry for a gala event I was attending. So, I decided to check out the major retailers, Macy's, Ross etc... I couldn't find anything I wanted not to mention unfortunately at larger department stores you virtually receive no help. While coming back home I thought well why not stop by May Fung Fashions and at least look for a bag. I never thought I'd find a top because I assumed they would all be too small. Long story short I not only found one but many tops my size and perfect for the occasion. I had a choice of several evening bags and even found the earrings I wanted. The owner helped me the entire time, making suggestions and basically helped me find exactly what I wanted and needed for the event. The store has varied styles and sizes which would suit anyone's taste and at good prices.

They also carry a variety of gifts as well.

They are so friendly and helpful it was a wonderful experience shopping there. It's right in my neighborhood and I am definitely going back again and again. I'm so glad I walked in there when I did.

Great little neighborhood boutique.

What to pay: Anywhere from about $5.00 on up to around $60.00

Its the biggest Sports store We have ever seen, my son Sam wanted to go there very day and he ended up spending all his money there, I have to say with the exchange rate and the fact that Americans dont get stiffed on price like we do in the UK. You can buy anything Nike here, its spread over 3 floors and you could spend half a day browsing.

Dont miss

What to buy: Everything is much much cheaper than in the UK, so what ever you buy you cant loose.

What to pay: about half to two thirds of the UK price for the same items.. I bought a pair of Nike trainers $47 in the UK 42 pounds, so almost half price.

There are too many places to shop in San Francisco.
Union Street in Cow Hollow (where I lived for a year) has many cute botiques with a few chain stores thrown in. My favorite place is Sephora which has practically every type of beauty product there is. I could spend hours there. But then I'm a girl. My husband doesn't feel the same way:) Cow Hollow has quite a variety of shops mixed in with great restaurants and cafes. Ambiance and Jest Jewels are also favorites.

Fillmore Street in Pacific Heights is similar but maybe a bit more high end.

Union Square (different from Union Street) is the mecca for high-end shopping. You can't beat the multi-level Macy's. There is also Neiman Marcus, Saks, Tiffany's, and a four level Levis. That's just for starters.

Walking toward Market St. you can find a Sephora, Anthropologie, Gap and H&M.

I could go on and on...

There are so many cool vintage clothing stores on Haight Street that I have made a travelogue of a "tour" of some of the best. All of those listed have stood the test of time, and are places you're sure to find some interesting stuff and/or great deals!

Go to the Haight Clothes Shopping Travelogue!

After having a good time riding the cable car, we walk along the Market St. We saw Saks Fifth Avenue, FCUK and Vcitorias Secet. VC is well known to my country so we didn't miss it by hopping inside the shop.

What to buy: Well, I bought one of girl's best thing and necessity, PANTY :). My friend and I bought a 3 for $20 string panties. I really love Victoria's Secret especially their Garden Fragrance Collection.

What to pay: depends... but you can buy something as low as 7 dollars.

You've probably seen Julius, the monkey, on people and their accessories. He is the design of Paul Frank and there are many more "characters" in his catalog. The shop has men & women's clothing and accessories.

What to buy: All-cotton t-shirt with frowning giraffe on front, Julius blue-striped gloves

What to pay: $35

Small boutique for men, women and children. Selections are limited but change for the seasons. Most of the items are made by the propietor, but there are some other labels as well. The style is retro/cocktail yet modern. The quality of the fabrics and the craftsmanship are impeccable.

What to buy: I bought a beautiful dress with subtle yet endearing details. It fits like a glove and everybody asks me where I got that dress when I wear it. It is amazingly comfortable and it turns me into an instant beauty.

What to pay: $117

Nice shop with men's and women's clothing. Not punk oriented, just hip casual. They had a large selection of Gammo Go and Fine shirts. One thing I noticed about a lot of the shops in San Francisco is that everything is quality made, usually from cotton and fits really well. I usually wear medium sizes, but mostly everything I bought was size small and they fit nicely.

What to buy: Gammo Go shirt and black skirt

What to pay: $66
