Shop smart Once maligned and neglected in favour of trendy boutiques, shopping malls are now hip. Many new cool shops arriving in the UK are opening in shopping malls, instead of Soho. As part of fashion's trashy Essex girl moment, a day at a shopping centre is the new smart way to shop. Nearly everyone in the UK can get to a shopping centre, with new ones, such as Reading's Oracle, popping up whilst old ones get revamped. The present queen of shopping centres, Bluewater in Kent, was chosen for the first UK site of beauty heaven Sephora. The Kent super shopping mall has also sponsored designer Julien MacDonald. The pros of shopping at a mall include easy (and usually free) parking, shelter from bad weather, plenty of places to eat and entertainment like cinemas and bowling alleys.
