On the instructions of my dress maker I was told to avoid any fancy lingerie for under my wedding…read moredress - she said instead 'Get yourself a good, sturdy flesh coloured job to hold yourself in' I took her word for it and got just that out of Debenhams but am now freaking out that that particular bra might not be 'the one' for the honeymoon - if ye know what I mean - nudge nudge, wink wink! Roxbury and McQueen is the only Lingerie shop I have been in that really feels exclusive. The underwear is all displayed beautifully and the girl who works there is so helpful. I had a look at the bridal basques and bras and the like but they are way over my price range. She does have little frilly satin knickers for sale which can have anything you want stitched on the bum - They take a few weeks and cost £69.00 with Mrs whatever or £59 if it's 'just married' on the bottom. I might splash out on these. The shop also sells really cool tights with designs and print on them, I have never seen these around Belfast before and will be sure to be telling my cool mate who would love them. I really liked my experience in this shop and I wish I could afford some of the lovely bits, don't get me wrong they are not extortionate by any means just over my budget. If you are looking for nice friendly service, a lovely boutique feeling and a gorgeous underwear set then go here.

Step in to this this lovely little lingerie shop and you can feast your eyes upon a stunning range…read moreof underwear in every shape, size, colour, style and fabric imaginable. Now I must admit it isn't the range of prices I would pay personally (£45 for a bit of ...'string'...no thanks) but if you're after some special lingerie, or if you are prepared to splash the cash (I was sorely tempted, the range is just beautiful!) then I would recommend taking a look in here at least. They had some pieces on sale which brought the price down quite reasonably. Orchid stock an impressive number of high quality brands as well as stunning, well crafted and exclusive pieces of lingerie. In particular a number of beautiful pieces caught my eyes; the Marie Jo and Verde Veronica sets were so incredibly sexy. This shop would be ideal if you're looking to buy a special piece of nightwear or even treat yourself to some sexy holiday swimwear. Orchid sell; lingerie, bridal wear, specialist bras, nightwear, swimwear, hosiery and a range of toiletries (perfume, Crabtree & Evelyn moisturiser, skin care, bath and body products.) Perfect for that special occasion.

The store had just recently opened so it was fabulous, really well laid and the decor is lovely.

Boux Avenue can be expensive but they sometimes do 15-20% off so keep your eye out for this.

Erm, yeah it's hard for me to leave a review of a ladies underwear store, but I shall try! My…read morelovely wife had a gift card given to her for her birthday, which was the reason why I got dragged into the place. First impressions was that it was quite a small store but very well laid out. Everything was neat and tidy and the staff were cheerful and pleasant. I noted as well that below the displayed items, there were drawers that had the different sizes places in order. My wife found this quite convenient, rather than constant hunting through to find the appropriate size. I have been told from the good lady wife that the changing rooms have a button inside to change the lighting from day, to dusk, to night. I'm sure this must be an essential thing when choosing underwear!

The discounts are deep, and the brand names arent New York high end, but they do include some of the european funky high end stuff such as Desigual (http://www.desigual.com).

If you are looking for a deal on ladies clothing or accessories, this place is by far my favorite department store in Lisburn!

I'd never noticed this shop before. Anytime I had walked down Bedford Street, it was always with a…read moreview to go into town and not to look at the shops along the way. However, as SD Kells is a well-known family brand, I felt inclined even to go in and take a look. The suits are terrific in that you know if you buy one, you will (a) look good and (b) will save it for only the most special occasion. As the SD Kells at home is famed for selling school uniforms, it was nice for me to go into a grown-up SD Kells which doesn't have my horrible blazer advertised in the window. Although the clothes in this shop are very nice, (even the casual things are really good which for a dressy shop is quite surprising) but they are really pricey and at £200 a suit, it is not the sort of place you would go to to get suits for work. It is really expensive. If you are looking for a particularly nice suit, this should be the first stop on your journey. You are bound to find something to "suit" you (I apologise)

What have the Ulster Rugby players and food festival have in common?…read more They were both at Victoria Square in Belfast today. The Ulster and Irish players Jared Payne, Rory Best and Ian Henderson were at the Grand opening of the Flagship Lifestyle Sports Store in Victoria Square. All three are Ulster and Irish players, Rory being captain of both, Jared hailing from New Zealand and Ian aged 23 all took time out to answer questions before getting ready for big Pro 12 semi final next week.....Good luck guys!!!! The food festival was on the lower ground floor and made of two sections. The first comprised of mini stalls serving up samples of pickles, preserves and sauces. My favourites here was the Habanero Steves gourmet chilli jams, which did jams in increasing strengths and hot sauces (I got the Venom one and am looking forward to it!!) and Ruby's Pickles. The second was a mini "Michellin Man Tent City" which had eateries from Vic Sq serving up samples off their menu. The first stop was Yo Sushi for a range of delicious Sushi (salmon,mackerel,tuna,crab and prawn), chicken and Gyoza as well as desserts. Chef Ryan was doing Sushi making classes but I missed them!! Still in the Orient it was the turn of Wagamama to produce up Gyoza, chicken, fresh fruit juice and sake (rice wine). For the very exotic experience of surf and colour,the Hawai'in Ku 'Aina served up chicken teriyaki and craft beers. TGI Fridays were sampling cocktails and for the tea total folk Starbucks had coffee and cookies. Finally the global Cosmo plated up ribs, prawn toast, prawn crackers, chilli chicken and Spring rolls. There's a great buzz about the place and fantastic atmosphere. I certainly ate "around the world" and you can do today and tomorrow. There are some great offers to be had in the restaurants taking part.
