I love this 40s inspired lingerie boutique. We seem to have lost some glamour since then but I've…read moreseen more and more of these independent stores opening up to revive a byegone era, especially since Burlesque has become so popular once again. The gorgeous boned corsets are a bit out of my price range and I'm not entirely sure about the pointy bras, but the retro seamed stockings and french knickers are super sexy and pretty reasonable too, starting at £4.50. If you want accessories to finish your look they also got satin gloves and of course high waist suspenders! Et voila, you're Ava Gardner.

I love boobs. I really do, but sometimes they get a little boring. "Boring?" I hear you cry... Yes,…read moredown right boring. I'm mean, there they are sitting on your chest, being all boobie-like. They can be pushed up, Wonder Bra style, or minimised down, M&S style. Either way, that's about all they can do. Now What Katy Did, is she re-introduced vintage undies. If you have tits, you can't wear other people's bras, that's like borrowing a fountain pen; it's been molded by its owners personal style of movement and shape. So if you want to explore the bra and undergarment styles of the past, buying them vintage is pretty tough. But here, you actually can have a clean, freshly made 1950s pointy bra. Don't think Madonna, think Joan from Mad Men. I promise you they are sexy. They also do fantastic sets and burlesque undies, all a little crazy for me, but fun to try on. The staff here, I will say, are very helpful, not very friendly but they certainly know their products and will advise you as to shape and style as well as sizing. This is a specialist undies shop. And if you want a new look for your boobs, you'll find it here. The shop is just inside the small arcade by the side of The Portobello Green Market.

Agent Provocateur sells the most beautifully opulent lingerie you can find on the high street…read more Whatever you buy from here is guaranteed to make you feel sexy as hell with a I-know-what-I'm wearing-under-here-but-yo u-don't (yet...) kind of feeling. Their lingerie is not only beautifully designed, but comfortable and well stitched even though most items are bejeweled with lace, diamantes, tassels and other lavish decoration. The collections are inspired by fantasy themes (at the moment it's a futuristic world of fantasy) so their boutique always has a playful atmosphere ready to inspire even the biggest bedroom bore. Whilst if open bras and burlesque pasties scare you, then they also have a wonderfully demure classic range and pretty hosiery to choose from. The staff are really sweet, clicking about the wooden floor in themed costumes, ready to find you different sizes and colours and are on hand to bring things back and forth to the changing room so you really feel as though this is a very personal shopping experience. Every girl deserves to have something from this special little boutique, so put your Bridget Jones pants back in the draw (or even better, in the bin) and celebrate true femininity.

The range of lingerie is absolutely beautiful - amazing quality and really makes a girl feel her absolute best. If you need a bit of feel-good retail therapy definitely come here! The underwear sets are wonderfully made with fine detail that you just wouldn't find in any of the high street shops. They also have playful themes which sounds a little tacky but actually isn't and the garments are fun but wearable. Probably the best part is the gift wrapping - your goods are carefully wrapped in gorgeous paper that makes your purchase feel totally exquisite. Boys - if you have any apprehensions about buying your girlfriend underwear, buy it here and she will love you forever!

I don't even know what half the…read morestuff they sell is, but I found myself, literally minutes away from Christmas, neck deep in a credit crunch and scrabbling around trying to buy an £18 colander. They do sell lots of lovely house hold bits and bobs but until I have a house, Labrador and a child called Mimi Fifi Orchid Clooney (a girl can dream) I wont be buying anything from here. It's a personal thing, possibly connected to being a huge consumerist ass hole whilst having a huge problem with consumerism. For me, buying a £300 pair of shoes is wrong but necessary, where as buying two plain white enamel breakfast bowls for £16 seems ridiculous. I am aware that this statement is ridiculous in itself, in fact, I just don't want to talk about it anymore. I will say though, that this shop is lovely, but I prefer Ikea.

Some people might need a warm beverage to relax them when confronted with the plethora of pleasure giving devices presented in this sexy grotto, I am not one of them, although I have to say, what a lovely touch. What I love about Sh is that they cater for girls and understand that most of us don't want to be confronted by a huge, black wobbly dildo when entering a store. Not to say that you cant buy one, or one covered in spikes or made out of glass or attached to a harness here (you get the picture) but they are tastefully presented and surrounded by feathers, bell adorned nipple tassles and rhinestone handcuffs amongst other wonderful inventions. The staff are pleasant, very knowledgeable and discreet, my first visit to the store was to buy a vibrator and the sales assistant recommended several, based on personal experience and sent me away very happy indeed with a waterproof 'Jessica' (£22). The variety of toys for men and women here rivals any similar store that I have visited and they also have a good selection of lubricants, literature and underwear.

The staff told me that they observed this on the cctv but would not let me view it. They told me not to call the police because this happened often in their store. I did anyway.

The phone at the time had all my travel details on the phone and this created a lot of hassle to my holiday and ruined it. I contacted the head office and they were no help and wouldn't look into in.
