HLM is the best place to go for buying fabric. My sister Therese is a really good tailor, so I have gotten plenty of clothes made here. Its also a good place to go for fo dem (henna). Someone offered to do our hand for free and I said no. Then another guy came up and did Emily's hand, and it was so good that we payed him to do our nails and feet too. Then the first guy came and was upset because he offered first, so Tomomi said he could do her nails.
The best place to buy anything other than Fabric, is the Ouakam Market that comes to my neighborhood every thursday. You can get really really cheap things there, like a nice pair of shoes for 6 dollars or a scarf for one dollar. Most of the stuff is used, but its even cheaper than good will so its pretty hard to resist. The only downside is its super crowded and people are constantly trying to get you to bargain for things you don't even want - though it's still better than the touristy markets.
