Generally if you forage through the stock in this store you will find one or two really funky, must have designs for your wardrobe, but they will cost you a pretty penny. I came here in mid December, deep in the sale season, and I found 20% off shirts that cost £65 a pop. They were nice shirts though, very well tailored, good looking. If you're able to dole out around £50 per item of clothing then this shop is definitely worth a peek.

I love the original home furnishing side where you will find stylish accessories, lighting, chairs, drawers and shelves crammed in at full capacity.

Maybe it is just not my shop.

I must admit, most everything in this store is pricey. Don't think you're going to buy a really amazing lamp in here for under twenty quid, you better bring some dough. If you're into really inventive and stylish home décor and you're willing to spend £50 on a really nice piece then have a look in this store. You will be impressed.

There is a particularly nice brown ruffle dress in a silky material for 22 pounds and some lovely knits that wrap around your body. The staff here is friendly enough and not up your arse, in a way that is common in a small store. I like to come in here and have a poke around.

But for some reason I cannot get excited by it. Maybe it is that the shop is rather too polished making it feel more like a high street shop trying to be a boutique. I would not however, rule out Petals. I am an immensely fussy shopper but there is still something about it that appeals to me. The clothes are after all well priced and stylish. Make up your own mind if you ever get the chance to pop into Petals.

Dear all, I am…read moreoriginally from Spain and have lived in East Dulwich for the past 10 years. The transformation of the area is fantastic but I truly think that we need less Estate Agents and more boutiques. I truly love my fashion, specially having studied Business Fashion Management in the London College of Fashion. I have purchased a couple of items from Mrs Robinson Boutique and unfortunately a friend of mine, having visited me on the area, also decided to buy a pair of shoes. Within a few weeks of having them, they broke and they basically told her that there is absolutely nothing that could be done about it as there had been no other complaints. It was truly unbelievable and the man who runs the shop (bold unfriendly individual) was not pleasant at all. I have not bought anything else ever since and I will not do so either as the competition is high and they should know that. My opinion on Mrs Robinson's Boutique is as follows : - They have not got customer service skills and this is vital when facing the public - The fashion buyer does bring some interesting pieces but quite over priced, therefore, in my opinion - Not good value for money as you don't get the shopping experience incorporated to it. - They should also know that good after sales service is imperative and they truly do not offer that as a matter of fact is pretty much, once you have bought it, if something does go wrong, it is the customer's problem. Now I just truly hope that more new fashion independent boutiques come to the area and Mrs Robinson's boutique learns the lesson.

I found a Rose and Lavender candle that smelled divine. I flipped it over to look at the price and I got brought back to reality really quick - it was £4.50. OK, so I am a cheapskate, I admit, but still, I'm not into spending a fiver on a stupid candle that's going to burn into nothingness in the long run. Ignoring my reservations, I held onto it while I perused what the rest of the shop had to offer. It had cute little knick knacks of all sorts - cards, lipstick holds, keychains, purses. I took a photo of the jewellery display. Then I went to the back of the shop and found loads of overpriced ugly clothes that only a wicked witch or a sexless spinster would wear and I took a picture of them. 'Excuse me, no more pictures please!' said a woman behind the counter that I did not even recognise existed until that very moment because she did not bother to greet me when I came into the store as she was picking her cuticles and developing blisters on her buttocks from sitting on her ass for so long embracing indolence with all of her being. I was annoyed to say the least. Like seriously, why can't I take pictures? Do you have a black magic banshee kickin' it behind the trouser section or something? I put my candle back and sprinted out of the shop. She could stuff it.

The Designer Warehouse is one of my favourite London discoveries…read more Not far from my home, and just off Seven Sisters road is a monthly sale for designer clothes - having heard from it from a colleague, I didn't really know what to expect. It was great and would definitely recommend giving it a visit. When getting to the warehouse, you have to leave your bag and coat (including your phone) in a cloakroom, and may a small fee of £3 (or 2?) to be able to get in. The sale is over 2 floors, and organised by designers - some are really well known, some are smaller names I've never heard of. It's not a posh environment, it's just rows and rows of clothes on hangers - and you have to take the time to go through them to find the gems, and also your size. There aren't any changing rooms, but there is an area where you can go and try them on at the back of the venue - it's closed off to men, but you do have to accept getting changed in front of other women. I am myself a massive fan of Vivienne Westood, and this was also the opportunity for me to try on a few pieces of her clothes - and yes, I did cave in and buy a top (1/3 of the original price) and a scarf. Good to know: they separate their sales between womanswear and menswear - their schedule is updated on their website.
