Ladies prepare yourself for Lingerie Heaven…read more Every single time i shop in Boux Avenue I am a rather happy customer. 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.

Bravissimo sells underwear for those ladies blessed in the old rack department. A big chest can…read moresometimes feel liek a curse, though and some good bra engineering can work wonders. I just fit in at the small end of Bravissimo's scale, being fairly slim, but with a proportionally large cest (sigh...it's a hard life) so I find some of their bras a bit too extremely controlling for me. During the summer, they do a range of supportive-but-still-cool swimwear, and a small range of clothes for those of us that have that annoying gaping shirt buttons problem. Sorted.

Being a maiden of the ample-bosomed persuasion, it is so hard to get a bra that actually fits…read moreproperly let alone a nice one! For years, I've had to go for plain ones because the other option was full cup granny bras. Horrifying! Lingerie shopping has often been a vastly traumatising experience, best avoided until absolutely necessary. And then Bravissimo opened up and the world was a brighter, lacier place! Not only were they able to size me properly and fit me with the first comfortable bra I can remember wearing since puberty, but they actually have a nice and colourful selection! Amazing! Unfortunately once you get to anything above a C-cup, braziers don't come cheap. They start at about £20, but tend to average around £30 - £40. Sad for the budget, but you do pay for quality (gone are the days when Debenhams bras would burst and stab me with underwire). Bravissimo have their own line of lingerie, but also have stock from designers such as Masquerade who make some very pretty bras and knickers. The service level from the ladies in this shop is just amazing. You can make an appointment for a fitting, so you are rarely kept waiting. Even if you just want to be seen to as soon as possible, they always give you waiting times, and there are plenty of comfy seats while you wait. The fitter will ask you what style and colour you're looking for, and will bring back a selection after the initial sizing to try on. It's always reassuring that they bring back more than one size in the different styles, as manufacturers seem to differ in their measurements. Additionally, the fitters really put you at ease, and always ask if you want them to leave the room while you change bra. Some other places can leave you feeling a wee bit awkward. I've been frequenting this shop since it opened, and with this level of service and good selection, it's unsurprising that they'll continue to see me come through their doors (hopefully) for years to come. If you've ever had trouble with your undergarments, these ladies can sort you out!

Of all the Matalan's in all the world, I have to walk into this one! It always has the best of the…read morestock and I really like the layout for the store and the very friendly staff. I am a big Matalan fan but it is only in past couple of years that I have had the confidence to openly admit it to my peers, now when they say, "Nice dress Lisa," I proudly reply, "A tenner from Matalan, get in!" The store at the Phoenix always has gorgeous little dresses, shoes and bags, usually for under £20. Of course they are never made of the best materials but I still find the quality to be much better than rival store Primark. It is also a good thing if you're buying clothes and things for going on holiday and you know they are going to end up covered in sand and booze and allsorts so you don't want to spend a lot of money on them anyway. I absolutely love Matalan's "Cozy Up" range of night wear. I bought a fluffy white dressing gown with pink hearts on months ago and it has been washed umpteen times but is still as fluffy and cozy as when I first bought it. The lingerie is really pretty too. Unfortunately they don't sell my bra size but I like the packs of 5 ladies boxers, very cute. When I first moved out of my parent's home I bought a lot of my home ware from this Matalan store, basic things like towels and a laundry basket. There are collections by Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, Colin and Justin and Linda Barker. I can't stand Linda Barker but unfortunately I love her range of kitsch crockery! There is also a collection by Martine McCutcheon which I find more than a little bit random! My favorite section of this Matalan store is the M Party section. This section has everything you need to throw the perfect party. There is a multitude of different invitations, decorations, party games and fancy dress costumes. You could spend an hour just in this department alone!

They also have a really nice range of homeware, which includes the Katie Price bedding range. Their christmas range is great, loads of gorgeous decorations and gifts at cheap prices!

REITERATING THIS POINT Shop here if you want the 'Pretty Woman' (before transformation) shopping…read moreexperience. 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

Received an email on the Friday and refund stating that due to an error they had no stock to send. A bit late to find this out on the Friday as they must have known before then if they were planning on delivering them to me on the Friday. Had they informed me earlier I could have gone elsewhere. I wrote to this company stating my disatisfaction but to date have received no answer. My advise to others is to go elsewhere from the start.

There's alot of cool gear in here though, including cool hats and some really funky backpacks. I almost bought one, but decided against it when I mentally calculated how much money I have spent this week (lots). The staff didn't get in my face which was cool for an outdoors sort of store, where I have been hounded before in Tiso for e.g. A nice shop, with lots of good stock for guys and gals.

Quicksilver at Buchanan Galleries is the only store of its kind in Glasgow…read more I personally love it. Although it can be quite pricey, they have lovely outdoor wear, ski and snowboard gear, bikinis and summer wear, luggage, and accessories. They stock Quicksilver and Roxy girls clothing, as well as Tony Hawk branded gear. It's a small store, but packed full of cute summer clothes and beautiful luggage. It's a shop I frequent more to covet items in than to actually shop at, but for that much, it's worth it to me. The staff are lovely and helpful, and if you're looking for something specific will probably prove to be very knowledgeable. I haven't come in here shopping for snowboarding gear, but I did have a conversation with one of the staff and they knew what they were talking about. Personally I love the luggage, sunglasses, and summer clothing ranges they stock here. It's like going on holiday without the hassle of travelling; even if you are just in the Buchanan Galleries to hide from the inclement weather conditions. Love it.

Good for accessories, with some really pretty girls clothing.
