Although their Dumbarton Road store has a large range of children's wear - it's looking a little bit scruffy on the outside, and is actually missing a few letters from their name. In fact, I think it should currently be known as BEL_IS__IMO. Hmm. Now, I wouldn't head to Bellissimo for general every day kids clothes. They sell designer kidswear, which makes it particularly good for special occasion wear. They even have christening gowns as well as a large range of confirmation dresses. (Is it just me, or are those things really freaky?!) They sell clothing ranging from birth to eight years - and this includes ranges from Lelli Kelly, Coco, Vivianne, Marco Polo, Ducky Beau and Arabella. So yes, Bellissimo Kidz do have a nice range of kids clothing - but some of it is really expensive. Maybe it's just me, but if I'm going to spend £45 on a babygrow - I'd like to do it in a shop that still has all the letters from it's name.

I've got to say, I agree with Katie on this one. You would never guess that Bellissimo stocked some…read moreof the designers it did because of that tattered, worn down fronting. With a sign barely legible, it's hard to believe that it hosts prolific names such as Marco Polo and the like. If you peek through the window, it looks like the only stock it has is its Christening dresses. It has an overwhelming amount of formal kid's clothing of this nature, not to mention wee flower girl wedding frocks. They're not overly expensive but I must admit I am overpowered by the amount of these things - you could probably spend hours raking through their endless supply, trying to find one you liked for your child. Huddled in another section of the store is the designer baby boutique offerings. Some of the stock here is undeinably cute and really well priced but again, I felt like there was too much to rake through. You may find some bargains in here and if you're interested in designers for baby then it's worth a look. But I found this store a wee bit run down and a sensory overload. With a lick of paint, a new sign and a better layout Bellissimo could be so much better.

If you want to find quality clothing for your kids you could do a lot worse than head to Gap Kids…read morein Braehead Shopping Centre. Braehead is located just off the M8 motorway to the west of Glasgow. It is a large covered shopping mall with extensive car parking. The Gap Kids here stocks both kidswear and the BabyGap brand which caters for youngsters up to the age of 5. BabyGap has some absolutely precious clothing and is a favourite haunt of mine for gifts for new parents. Gap Kids caters for children aged 4 up to 13 and is particularly good for casual clothing such as jeans. They stock jeans in three fittings, regular, slim and husky, to deal with the fact not all children are the same shape! They also do really good quality hoody tops in fleece for winter which invariably have the Gap logo on them. The store also has underwear and socks available and occasionally you will find a few items of footwear. The staff in Gap Kids at Braehead go out of their way to ensure you have a brilliant shopping experience here and are a credit to the company!

I have lost so many nice bags due to it being bashed about at Uni but I have learnt my lesson and now it's Primark bags all the way! As with all Primark stores you have to queue for an absolute age before you get served, and if you're like me you'll pick up a few more pairs of socks or maybe even an umbrella on the way. A bit of sneaky impulse buy tactics there. This one is particularly busy and seeing as I'm a rather inpatient person I'll more often than not take one look at the queue and then walk straight back out again. In saying that, there's often a lot of staff on the tills, it's all hands on decks here! Even so, if you're in a rush then you'd probably best go elsewhere and avoid the wild bargain shoppers.
