Yowza! Nothing trampy about this place, with a bright spacious interior welcoming you right on in…read more The vibe keeps up with the lively staff who really make this place what it is. Theres a roomy changing area which was novel, setting this place in a totally different calibre to ann summers, where unlike the high st giant, the stock wasnt stuffed in leaving no room to move. Also, the stock was infinitely cheaper and my missus will testify also of a greater quality. A memorable visit and most importantly, recommended.

If you don't like lingerie, you should also peruse Agent Provocateur and it may change your mind...although the prices will make your jaw drop. The pieces in here are lovely designs, made of fine fabrics, and high quality, intricate stitching. They look fabulous and make body parts plump and tight in the proper places. The store itself can be a bit intimidating. There is a really big security guy that greets you at the door. Under the surface he is a big teddy bear, but you don't know that as you walk in. The store is small and there most likely won't be too many people in there, so it can feel a bit awkward looking at all the sassy frilly stuff in front of a sales associate and the lingerie guard LOL! I must add my sales associate was very nice and I did not sense any unwarranted pressure to buy more. I was debating on which of my two favourite sets to buy and she told me the most practical solution, which I appreciated. I bought the 'classic' piece, because the colorful, less versatile, statement piece would probably go on sale at the end of the season. This is NOT where you go for your everyday nude t-shirt bra or your comfy whitey tighties. Agent Provocateur is where you find salacious undergarments. Some of the pieces are technically not even undergarments and meant to be part of your outfit peaking out, or making a statement "I am wearing something sexy." Whether you want to be sexy for someone or simply feel sexy under your clothes for yourself, you will surely find something at AP.

The only Agent Provocateur shop in Scotland, this place is a sight to behold…read more Everyone knows this particular brand - female or male - and what they're famous for. Not for the feinthearted, they have a wide range of lingerie, ranging from the cute, to the obscene. Almost like a very highend version of Ann Summers, but in a completely different, almost classy, league, it offers a range of 'seduction' accessories also - whips, paddles, garters, etc, etc. Saucy, huh? The staff are also experts in their field, and know the exact location of everything in the shop. So, whatever you're into, you'll find here.

Was made to feel incredibly awkward by a sales assistant when I was shopping for a bra as though I wasn't the target clientele of the store. Upon entering the store I told the sales assistant I was looking for a bra for an event, she then asked if she could see the bra I was currently wearing to get an idea of sizing. I responded letting her know that I wasn't wearing a bra at that moment. Well... the reply I was met with was something of the ages "....you're not wearing a bra?" (Yes you can imagine the look on her face) I ended up purchasing something out of sheer panic and attempted to return it the following day to be told that items can only be returned for 'store credit'. I understand that this is a small business but having worked in retail for a number of years I understand that it is extremely bad practice not to communicate this to the customer on purchase. Anyway avoid this place like the plague. BIG MISTAKE. HUGE

The choice is fantastic and everything is spread out neatly. I have never had trouble finding my size in here nor the colour if I'm specifically out for a purpose.

Ok so you'd have to swing by Tesco for the milk but everything else you can find in this store. I came across this store accidentally (honest) and I thought, aww Silks and Secrets that sounds sweet, oh how wrong I was! Now I am not one to judge anyone's sexual preferences but ooft it would make your eyes water! This place is cheap and nasty but hey, if cheap and nasty tickles your giblets then you'll love it!

Oh dear. This is what happens when Glasgow tries to go all contemporary, sexy and continental…read more Needless to say, the end result is not contemporary, sexy or continental. Instead, it is seedy, cheap, nasty and, even a little bit, intimidating. However, if this is the kind of stuff you are into then this shop is the place for you. It has a large range of stock in various sizes and colours which seem to be priced reasonably (I admit, my googling session tonight has been a little strange...). The staff seem pleasant enough and allow you plenty of space to browse. This was something I especially appreciated. So, if you're into some different sexual stuff pop in. If you reckon Silk and Secrets is all pretty underwear (like I first thought) it's maybe best to avoid going any further than the street.

I have ridiculous breasts. They cause me no end of trouble! I am a size 28D......28.......D...That…read moredoesn't even make sense! Not many stores sell lingerie for people like me who have teeny tiny backs but normal sized fun bags. Marks and Spencer's do a size 28D in two of their lingerie ranges and they are very nice but they are lacking that certain je ne sais quoi. Sometimes you have those special occasions, you know THOSE nights when you need something special. Something which says TAKE ME, TAKE ME NOW!! Ahem. For these occasions I go to Curves and Lace. Curves and Lace sell bras in a back size 28 to 48 and cup size D to K. K, wowza! They have bras from all the big name, big boobie brands such as Freya and Fantasie. The boutique itself is very fun and flirty and the window displays always show the most glamorous of lingerie and are styled with accessories such as feather boas. The bras are not cheap. You'd be lucky to get anything for under £50 but if you are large in the breast department then I think it is worth investing in a couple of bras made by companies which specialize in supporting bigger boobs. Curves and Lace do sell practical white t-shirt bras, but I say if you're spending over £50 on a bra, indulge in something that makes you look and feel gorgeous!

I went into Curves and Lace today when I was on a slight shopping spree, as I needed a backless,…read morestrapless silicone bra thing to wear underneath a backless dress for a dinner I am attending next weekend. A couple of my pals had told me to go in here, because whilst they have some lovely lacy and pretty numbers, they also stock quite a few variations on the sort of industrial strength booby holders I was searching for. I walked in, took a look around, and immediately realised I was in the wrong place. The bras were lovely; loads of nice colours, lacy, silky or cotton, with matching panties or thongs, but this wasn't my concern. As I picked up a particularly nice purple lace number, I realised that I could fit my head into each of the cups...twice, probably. Both of my friends who made these recommendations were of ample boobage, probably a D or E cup at least. I am a humble B cup, which was 2 sizes below what this boutique offered! Curves and Lace only caters for females with larger breasts, a voluptuous D to a back aching K. It is a godsend to my pals who just can't pick up a £4 bra from Primark because of their measurements. The bras are not cheap, not by a long shot, and you can expect to pay in excess of £35-50 for one. However, you get what you pay for, and these bras are high quality. Perfect for those of you blessed with an ample bosom!

As far as New Look stores go I'm not a big fan of this one. I like New Look as a shop and quite…read moreregularly shop there but this one has got to be one of my least favourite stores. Pro's for this place: It's HUGE, so lots of room for browsing and trying on shoes & the like. Lots of other label clothes alongside their own. Always a massive selection of SALE stuff. Lots of shoes if you're a shoe freakazoid. It's open late being situated in Braehead. Con's: The lighting in here is AWFUL ~ I don't know what they have/n't done but I think it makes the place look awfully sad and depressing... They don't stock any of their underwear or nightwear range ~ for a store this size that's a bit odd. The tills are usually woefully understaffed and you can be in a queue for quite some time on occasions. Although this is one of their bigger stores in Glasgow the variety/range isn't that great ~ it seems like its stuff that could fit in a much smaller store just spread out more. I don't really dislike this store; I would (and do) go back. I'd say it's more a 2.5 stars. I just feel with a space this size they could do SO much more with it...it's like they have the money to rent the unit but they've run out of money to do it up a bit. Shame. They should get Mary Portas in!

Looks a lot less cluttered and has a bigger range of products - including tall, inspire and mens. Its now an a par with the stores at Silverburn and Buchannan Street. Has a massive range of shoes and boots - I love them because pretty much any colour you want you can get and they soooo comfy! Always has a good stock, in fact it was pretty much the only place in Braehead we could find decent party dresses still in stock 2 weeks before christmas. Very affordable for whatever you are looking for and always keeps up with the latest trends.

The staff are lovely, I would actually love to work there or even design underwear for them. The underwear is great quality, you'll find everything in this store, from sexy to girly bras and knickers, to silky nightwear, or even those beautiful soft pijamas. When I am in the store I turn into Rebecca Bloomswood from Confessions of a Shopaholic, my heart (almost) melts. Also, the layout of the shop is brilliant. I love the fact you can just open up little drawers and find your own size, or just get the assistant to do it for you, if you're that lazy. The changing room I am usually in had an old fashioned telephone, which you can use if you would like any assistance. You can also change the light by yourself. It's genious.

If I had to pick a favourite M&S in Glasgow, the store at the Braehead shopping centre would win hands down? Why? Well, quite frankly, it's huge. And can you really have too much of a good thing?! As well as having a very decently sized supermarket, this store has extensive clothes, shoes, underwear and childrens wear sections. It has an excellent accessories section, which for a large part of the year features more hats, scarves and gloves than you have ever seen. (And even better, most of them have that delightful green circle on them that stands for M&S's 'outstanding value' collection). But the jewel on the top of this fabulous department store crown is the homewear section. Almost as good as dedicated M&S homewear shops - this department is big enough to get lost in. In fact, I have had to be rescued a couple of times - but probably just because my boyfriend isn't as interested in matching crockery than I am....
