Paris: Shopping with a Teenager

My 13 year-old daughter and I will be in Paris for four nights at the end of the month. We will be staying in The Marais and have both visited Paris before. We have a few planned activities: a private tour of the Orsay, tour of the Latin Quarter with Paris By Mouth, and the fashion show at Galleries Lafayette.
My daughter, like all teenagers, wants to go shopping. We love to wander and explore a city so we are hoping to find some streets to shop in smaller stores for some special things to take home, Clothes, accessories, souvenirs.
Any suggestions for us?
We are also looking for a few restaurants that would be great for dinner or lunch. Nothing too fancy, just very good food in a friendly atmosphere. We have a table booked at L'Ange 20 on our first night because I read some good reviews.
Thanks for your help!

Our daughters went at 13 to Sephora like addicts and liked Les Galeries Lafayette and the shops around.
Zara, Pinkie ? whatever.

Restaus :
You read per line the name the street the arrondissement and the closest metro.
My top selection in the area.
Boucherie Rouliere Canettes 6e Saint Sulpice
Elmer Notre dame de Nazareth, 30 3e
fil des saisons fontaine du temple 3e République
Iperiber Montmorency 3e closed
Marie Charlot, 3 3e
Massara Turbigo 70 3e temple
Pouic Pouic Lobineau 5e Odeon
Salento Temple 47 4e Republique

I shoudl add Pouic Pouic somewhere in the 6th.

Uniqlo on rue des Francs-Bourgeois in the Marais is the gold standard for teenagers.

Camille for crepes is just down the street.

fuzzbucket, thanks for a couple more suggestions. I have the other ones printed out that you gave me when I was looking for a hotel a while back.

WoinParis - thanks for the suggestions. We are going to stay away from the big chain stores we can find in N America. I agree - Sephora is a teenager's dream! Great restaurant ideas.

My 4 nieces all live in Paris and their favorite area as teens was around the Rue de Rennes all the way from St Germain des Pres to Montparnasse. Now that they are in their early 20s though they prefer some of the up and coming neighborhoods like Batignolle and Canal Saint-Martin area (where the film Amelia was shot. So those areas might be fun if you want to explore a bit further away from the marais and St. Germain.

You might look at rue du Commerce for shopping.
