I’m much more confident with crypto than with banks or fiat currency because I can actually control it, and the money supply is transparent, stated up front. It makes online shopping a lot easier and a lot safer.
I absolutely fell in love with Moscow. It’s one of those places where you can’t help but trip over history at every turn. It’s a city of enormous contradictions. Within a few yards of Lenin’s Tomb is some of the most expensive shopping in the world.
It’s taken me a long time to enjoy shopping. As a plus-size girl, you walk into a store, and it can sometimes be like a designer doesn’t know you exist. It’s become a fun treasure hunt.
We’re all weirdly single, middle-aged women with too much money who look to fill the void with too much shopping.
For me, it’s about being at home and living a life. Taking the dog for a walk, doing the shopping, emptying the dishwasher, going for a run.
I have never written a book about my life, despite being offered purses of gold. I made ‘Boxes’ because I wanted to make a sincere depiction of a daughter who has lost her father, or the jealousy one can feel towards a daughter who has become more beautiful than you and whose stepfather starts to take her shopping.
Black Friday is not another bad hair day in Wall Street. It’s the term used by American retailers to describe the day after the Thanksgiving Holiday, seen as the semi-official start of Christmas shopping season.
I loved the idea of offering customers a website where they could have access to a designer shopping experience at great value.
My mom, my dad, we used to love going shopping. Every time we left the house we made sure we looked presentable, looked good.
One summer I was made housekeeper to my own family, making menus and shopping lists. It was my mother’s idea of teaching me to be a grown-up. The main thing I remember is my father being so delighted to get roast duck.
After a lifetime of feeling at home in my plus-size body, I was a 27-year-old having self-esteem issues. Clothes shopping stopped being fun and became a chore; I couldn’t wear the curve-showing styles I loved without Spanx – and I worried that my new body would affect my training.
Sometimes I catch myself if I’m shopping, and I’m like, ‘I want to hide my thighs and my arms.’ And then I kind of take a minute where I’m like, ‘No, that’s not really being kind to yourself. Maybe learn to embrace things that we’re taught as women not to like.’
Whenever someone comes up to me and says, ‘I’m having trouble shopping.’ I tell them to pull out their 10 favorite, most-worn pieces, then build a wardrobe around them. Those staples are going to be different for everybody.
When it comes to dates, I just like going to the cinema or having a night in. I can’t stand fancy restaurant meals because I just get embarrassed because I’ll get food all over myself. Things like bowling, shopping, or going to the park are less awkward.
I love doing normal things – movies, shopping, going out with friends, writing, reading, taking hot bubble baths – that’s a big one for relaxation. I also love to go to art and history museums.

As we continue down the path of automation, virtually every city will have 24-hour convenience stores, 24-hour libraries, 24-hour banks, 24-hour churches, 24-hour schools, 24-hour movie theaters, 24-hour bars and restaurants, and even 24-hour shopping centers.
Some people have no respect whether you are with your family or not. That’s the hardest part. I was shopping in a grocery store in Seattle looking for stuff for Nicholas. This guy kept following me with his cell phone video on.
Consumers have not been told effectively enough that they have huge power and that purchasing and shopping involve a moral choice.
On Amazon, you find retailers that want Amazon to do part of their services. Those, you don’t find to the same degree on Google Shopping. On Google Shopping, you find sort of the bigger brands, those who want to have the customer relationship themselves – the data, the payment details, the search patterns.
Instead of getting swept up in a whirlwind of banal ‘holiday’ parties, useless gift exchanges and harried shopping, my family tries hard to use the weeks of Advent to prepare our hearts and home in meaningful ways for the Prince of Peace.
When people come to my act any time after Thanksgiving, I usually say, You shouldn’t be here. You should be shopping. Our economy depends on you! You should be out there buying stuff.’
There was a time in L.A. when I drove to 7-Eleven to go grocery shopping, and I locked my keys in my car, which wasn’t insured. My wallet was in there, and I couldn’t call AAA, because I only had $7 in my bank account. It was one of those moments where I was like, ‘O.K., I literally have nothing right now.’
I love vintage shopping, but my secret spot for great tees and casual stuff is Trico Field. They have the cutest kids’ clothes, too!
I like fashion, but I don’t like shopping.
My shopping habits… I am not very brand-conscious about clothes. I buy whatever looks good on me. Likewise, I don’t just shop only in malls or high-end stores.
In 1988, I earned something like £700,000. Yeah! I was earning 10 grand an hour opening shopping centres. Yeah! The most I earned in one day was 65 grand. I opened the Alton Towers fun ride in the morning, did a commercial in the afternoon and an appearance at a nightclub in the evening. Sixty-five grand in one day!
I don’t like shopping and I’m lucky enough to have a stylist to do it for me.
I’ve never gotten a good idea while checking Twitter or shopping.
Being bored by clothes shopping feels smart and intellectual: ‘Ooh, get me, insufficiently entertained by racks of skinny jeans; my mind is on higher things.’
Things got so bad that when I went shopping for a house, some people would refuse to open the door if they saw it was me standing there. And drunks would always want to challenge me.
When we were on ‘The X Factor,’ we didn’t realize how overnight the fame thing was. We didn’t really understand it until we went on a shopping trip. It was like Week 7 or 8 of the show. We went with a few other contestants and there were loads of people, packed.
I am bad with shopping.
Shopping for hijabs has always been fun for me. I was so excited to begin wearing a headscarf. I had always looked up to my mother as she wore hers, and I was eager to emulate her beauty and the wonderful things she represented.
Shopping in Mumbai is always an outing with friends.
Saturday afternoon I’ll go shopping. Always. I can find things to buy wherever I am.
It’s not like it’s hard to be decent and respectful and well-behaved. I do wait in line, and I do take the subway, and I do do my own grocery shopping, and I do take the kids to school.
Thrift shopping is all about going into the thrift shop and having no expectation of what you might find.
Fire has impacted every part of our lives – without fire, there would be no shopping, right? – that’s how the Internet will intrude on our lives, particularly our kids’ lives.
My hope that Thatcher would inadvertently bring about a new political revolution was well and truly bogus. All that sprang out of Thatcherism were extreme financialisation, the triumph of the shopping mall over the corner store, the fetishisation of housing and Tony Blair.
Expenditure can’t really guarantee a great experience. I don’t even like shopping; I’ve never bought stuff for myself, and everything I wear are gifts from my brothers, friends and people.
I like eclecticism. To feel comfortable and not overdressed. I still like thrift store shopping, and I don’t like to put a lot of effort into what I’m going to wear.
Shopping malls across the county are dying fast, and my images of them are very nostalgic for most people that grew up attending these malls. These malls were communal spaces. These were gigantic chat rooms before the Internet existed. You went to the mall to meet and communicate with others, not just to shop.
With two small children, I haven’t had a wash since 2001 so the chance to go shopping is way down the list. It is something I do intend to get.
I got to meet Kanye West because we were shopping my artist deal, and I was interested in his label. When I met him, I played him all the records I had. He introduced me to Rihanna, and she recorded and cut some of those records.
My father managed shopping malls when I was a kid, and my high school job was to dress up in an elf costume and take photos of kids sitting on Santa Claus’s lap.
I work every day from 9:30 or so until lunchtime. In the afternoons, I become a normal person – go shopping and do the garden and look after my grandchildren.
For me, prayer is not so much me setting out a shopping list of requests for God to consider as it is a way of ‘keeping company with God.’
I’d drop whatever I was doing to show up to do the graveyard shift of ‘America’s Shopping Place.’
A lot of the discussion about rolling back the Affordable Care Act is about dismantling the marketplaces where individuals are shopping for their own coverage when they don’t get it in their workplace.
I think The Row skews toward an older market – an educated consumer who’s been shopping for years.
