Ok, call me superficial, but I'm a woman who likes to shop. I love clothes, shoes and handbags and I'm also very particular about the things I buy...though name brands aren't as important as quality, style and fit.

However, I do have particular brands that I like. If I were to shop for clothes and accessories by Marc Jacobs, Theory, Diane von Furstenberg, Chloe, Christian Louboutin and Balenciaga, will I be paying a pretty premium for them in Seoul? If so, how much of a premium? Here in Los Angeles, I find great deals on designer clothing by browsing the sale racks at Bloomie's, Neiman's, Barney's and Fred Segal. I know my choices will be severely limited in Seoul, but will I still be able to bargain hunt for the clothes I love?

I also love H&M for cheap, trendy basics - do they have H&M in Seoul?
