Hi,

First off, what a great thread! My boyfriend and I will be visiting BA for 2 weeks in early Sept. I'd like some recommendations on where to shop. I'm looking for hip clothes (not necessarily a leather jacket though). Also, does anyone have any idea if high end stores, i.e. Fendi are cheaper in BA than in the states? I'm also interested in shopping for antiques, but would like to know if shipping will be too expensive.

Any spas that are recommended? I'm interested in getting a massage after my long flight?

And finally, what are some good restaurants for French food?
