I actually love Wilkies - I've got a few dresses out of here myself (and they were under £50 -…read morebargain!) but I especially love their good old-fashioned customer service. My Gran used to regularly shop here before she fractured her pelvis, but she's been in recently to pick out an outfit for a wedding - and the staff were a massive help, offering to take things downstairs for her to try on, instead of her having to go up and down the spiral stairs, and made what could have been a stressful shopping trip a lot easier!

Lured in by Wilkie's jagged 80s door sign and the prospect of some cool clothes hidden in this…read moremoderate sized store, me and my boyfriend went in for a wee browse. Admittedly, these clothes aren't aimed towards my age group but even for those who may want to purchase them, I found them a bit expensive. I don't know if I was expecting this place to be along the same lines as Happit, or perhaps more provincial and selling some practical wooly jumpers to help locals brave the elements. It's more designer than the aging fronting of the shop store sign may suggest, and so more expensive. There were a lot of studded jumpers and work trousers downstairs, along wiith a section dedicated to selling insulated jackets and more practical fashions. Upstairs, Wilkies hosts lingerie, bedwear and some designers. The clothing on this floor is more up market and more up to date than that of downstairs. A lot of the clothes up here struck me as being suitable for trendy dinner parties, and some items would certainly suit someone in the process of jazzing up their wardrobe. But with jackets coming in at a cool £150 each, it was hard to see past the price label. This store is undoubtedly handy for locals and is certainly good quality. But if you're looking for something a bit more up to date at a slightly cheaper price, you're probably better going to M&S.

Leaving the experience of shopping at Silverburn aside, this is a pretty decent shop if you're in…read morethe mood for shopping. Was I in the mood for shopping? No, I don't really like clothes shopping. I mean, I love shopping if it involves buying things online and having them delivered to my house. But going out clothes shopping is one of my least favourite activities (the looking, the trying on, the looking, the trying on - I hate all that changing), and it's why I rarely review clothes shops. Anyway, I found myself in need of a new dress for an event on Tuesday night (Yelp's Gallery of Glasgow, ahem). I'd scoured all my usual spots - H&M, Zara, Oasis ... there wasn't much going around that really took my fancy. My last hope was River Island and I was pretty impressed with the range and prices. The change rooms were tidy, clean and had a couch for your shopping partner to wait. There wasn't much of a wait at the checkout and staff were friendly. River Island had definitely gone up a few positions in my favourite shops list after this outing.

This new River Island store is excellent.It's split into two levels downstairs for Womenswear and…read moreupstairs for Menswear,each floor is absolutely huge and has practically every item of stock that River Island have,which means if you see anything online you wont have the problem of going into the store and not being able to find what your looking for.They also seem to ge alot of items that are new out before the Braehead store.For example I bought a dress from here that wasn't in the Braehead store for another two weeks.The shoe department is really good and has all of the shoe range on display.Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Changing rooms can get very busy especially at the weekend. This is rather a small shop but the bright lights make it look bigger. It is well laid out and it is easy to find the type of clothes you want (e.g daywear, pyjamas etc.). It has a great range of lingerie all at reasonable prices ands some nice pjs. They have a wide range of clothes although i usually find its mainly just casual everyday clothes rather than what you would buy to go out to the nightclub

I am a big fan of Zara and I think this store on Buchanan Street is one of the best, although the…read moreSilverburn Shopping Centre branch is also a great store. Zara does some fantastic tailoring which has a quirky twist to it and the colour palette is often quite muted with the likes of beigh, khaki, black, grey etc which I like because Zara clothes make a great base on which to build an outfit. I had been searching for the perfect mac for yeeeears and finally found it in Zara this week. It was £70 and I will wear it for years to come as it is very classic looking and will never go out of fashion. In fact it makes me feel like a sexy female spy during WW2! Or inspector gadget! One bug bare with Zara is that the clothes are sized as xs/s/m/l/xl and it is a bit of a pain trying to work out which size you are. I finally realised that I am an extra small (which I really shouldn't have been surprised about as I am a midget) but some of Zara's clothes stop at a small for some bizare reason. I've heard a lot of complaints about the length of Zara's trousers and jeans but a little known Zara fact is that they will tailor any of your purchases for free! Zara is a Spanish company and in Europe women don't think twice about getting all their clothes tailored to fit them perfectly. Zara have brought this ethos over to the UK and thus purposly make their trousers quite long to accomodate tall statuesque types but can also alter them for free for munchkin types like myself.

For me Zara is always a bit hit or miss, sometimes I will see stacks of clothes that I like, other…read moretimes I can't so much find a hair band that tickles my fancy. A few years ago Zara was one of my favourite shops, I bought pretty much everything out of here but I've recently grown out of it for some reason, I guess my style has just changed. I have a few really cosy knitted jumpers from here that have lasted a good few years and only cost around £20. I have to admit, many of clothes at Zara are great value for money and you can get quirky tees for as little as £6. They have really pretty dresses and tailored jackets too which are always a little bit different to most shops on the high street but they are rather expensive and some of their shoes can be over £100 and I don't really think they're anything special. I like the fact that Zara has their own range of perfumes and cosmetics, their lip gloss is particularly good and only £1.95 a pop! I guess, if you're looking for a new outfit then Zara is a good shout and you'll more often than not come away with something pretty. This is probably one of the best Zara stores around Glasgow as it is huge and they often have a sale section too so you could snap up a bargain.

They're always on the ball and have the latest catwalk trends in their stores. The quality of Warehouse clothes is also spot on and the fabrics used will last many washes unlike some stores on the High Streets. Even though I really like Warehouse, I don't always buy from here. It's very similar to Topshop but quite a bit more expensive so I usually find something similar in Topshop instead. It's always worth a look though as they often do really good sales and it's also great for work clothes as they do some really pretty black trousers and cardigans.

Warehouse, though, stays resolute on Argyll Street. Like most Warehouse stores, this branch is quite small (though no smaller than the branch in the Buchanan Galleries). It stocks a large selection of stylish and fashionable party, casual and work clothes. Although often a little bit pricey - the basics are generally well priced and the sale is always worth a rummage.
