For being a woman let's start from...
Clothing and shoes
GinaTricot and H&M are the normal shops where I buy my everyday clothing. Normally don't order from their online stores since thanks to where I work I get 10% off from GT's clothing if I buy them from the shopping centre I work in. Other clothing stores I buy work clothing from are Seppälä, Vero Moda/Only, Lindex, Ellos and Halens.
Online stores I like and use are...
Kate's clothing Lovely selection of goth and 50s clothing. Mostly I shop sale items since you can get them really cheap. Bad thing is I still haven't learned what's my size for most of the goth clothing brands but that's my fault not shop's. Look for Mercy, Necessary Evil and Hell Bunny clothing.
Oneposter Yes, it's mainly a poster shop but you can find really good deals of Iron Fist clothing here. Most of the Iron Fist shoes I've bought have been around 20€ a pair, normally around 50€. Also some other noteworthy findings are Criminal Damage clothing and TUK shoes.
Collectif I love it! Sale items are sometimes really cheap and don't only have weird sizes or colours left. Own 4 of their dresses and all fit fantastically. Really do recommend if you like 40s and 50s inspired clothing.
KinkyAngel Can't let them out. Haven't ordered anything for a while but that's since I mainly have been ordering from the shops above. KinkyAngel has a lot of different brands including fantastic Heavy Red, Folter Clothing, New Rock boots, Alchemy Gothic jewellery etc. And the posting is amazingly fast, first time I ordered the stuff came in 2 days (from UK to Finland).
EMP.fi I use the Finnish site since well: we have one. The stuff are still delivered from Germany but you can return them to Finnish address. Sometimes really long delivery times but packages have always come and nothing's been missing or damaged.
Make up and hair
I buy make up mainly from two places: Sokos Emotion (a beauty store belonging to Sokos branch in Finland) and Boots.
From Sokos Emotion I usually buy Gosh, Joe Blasco, L'Oreal and occasional others.
Boots is mainly for Urban Decay. I just can't get over their Eyeshadow Primer Potion and the way of naming the make up. Makes putting on make up so much more fun when you can use S&M instead of silver.
My hair stuff I mainly buy from HairStore and I prefer Tigi, Schwartzkopf and Disp. Disp is the newest label I've started to use and I do love their moisturising shampoo and conditioner crom CORE plus I simply adore Deep Repair Plus.
For cleansing and keeping my face moistured I trust Dermoshop and Avon. I can deeply recommend Dermoshop's Vitamin E cleansing foam.
Books, movies and music
I have to admit I'm quite boring when it comes to shopping books and movies. I buy them when I see good ones. Books I mostly buy from Suomalainen (a Finnish bookstore) but since I read almost all of my books in English I need mostly to order them instead of just being able to walk into the store and buy one. Movies I normally buy from Anttila or normal supermarkets.
Amazon.co.uk Best place to buy a book. They mostly have it and is almost always cheaper than the books I could buy from Finland (even with shipping expenses). Also a lot of other stuff available but I think most of you know that already.
Nuclear Blast I tend to order new releases, LPs and sets here. They use couriers so you will get your package delivered to you in good condition when you want it.
Burning Shed I use them for their Peaceville store which has albums from My Dying Bride, Anathema and Paradise Lost.
Those are the shops I mostly use and believe me, I have stuff ordered from at least one of those at the moment too.
After introducing you to these fantastic sites I can start to give you more specific details of what I've been buying, seeing or living.
