“Get in loser. We’re going shopping.” The “Mean Girls” were right; there’s nothing better than grabbing a few friends for an afternoon of shopping, especially as the holiday season rolls around.
So where are the best places to stock up on gifts (while also finding time to #treatyoself)? We love streets like Rodeo Drive which features exclusive stores like Gucci, Dior, Louis Vuitton and Chanel. But if you don’t find yourself in Los Angeles anytime soon, there are other fashion streets you can visit. Let’s have a look at some of our favorites.
This street is situated in an area called Old South, Amsterdam, where people with ‘old money’ used to live (and still do). Named after a famous Dutch historian, these streets feature exclusive Dutch couture and high-end stores like Dior, Hermès, Montblanc, Prada and Cartier.

The Champs-Élysées is probably the most famous street in the romantic city of Paris. The street has more to offer than just high-class shops, however. After visiting the Arc de Triomphe at the end of the Avenue, you can find affordable stores like MAC and Zara. If you’re ready to fall in love with a dreamy wardrobe, Paris is the place to go.
This street (which means ‘Princely Place’) is a great place to visit, even if you prefer window shopping. Located in the Dongcheng district, Wangfujing Street is filled with both tourists and locals. Since 2000 the street has become exclusively accessible to pedestrians (and the tour trolley), so you can walk around freely while making your purchases.
Located in the heart of ‘The Harbour City,’ the Strand Arcade is named after the famous shopping street of 19th century London. Featuring exclusive Australian stores like Alex Perry, Manning Cartell, Dion Lee, Jac+ Jack, Scanlan Theodore, Aje, Megan Park and Skin and Threds, the Strand Arcade is the perfect place to dream away in the midst of beautiful couture.
