While on holiday in London, I knew I wanted to spend at least a day shopping in the city, but I…read moredidn't know where to begin. I found Casey at Proper Style, and I'm so grateful I did! Casey planned an entire day of shopping based upon my lifestyle, needs and budget and then pre-pulled at the shops so all I had to do was show up and try things on. Throughout the day she continued to show me how to mix and match pieces together to create outfits I never would have imagined and gave me useful styling tips based on my body type and coloring. I only wish I lived in the UK so I could hire Casey to come to my house and makeover my entire wardrobe! Five stars for sure.

I trust her completely and the whole experience was quite relieving and has changed the way I shop and how I look at my closet! If only I had done this years ago!

Ann Summers is a bit of a public institution in the UK; the company has democratised sexy lingerie…read moreand accessories and is now present on most high streets around the country. There are more interesting stores in that category (Myla, Agent Provocateur, Coco de Mer) but all with much larger price tags. Ann Summers gets 3 stars because I cannot think of another store who would have had the idea of celebrating the anniversary of Robert Burns (famous Scottish poet) with a 'carpet burns' promotion...

The Soho branch is amply packed with all the naughtiness any relationship could benefit from. If…read moreyou're new to the whole idea, perhaps it would be a good idea to choose from notebooks, ice trays, toys or lingerie for the Mrs, come birthday time. Just don't make the mistake of thinking that their 'Rampant Rabbit' product line has anything to do with cute bunnies! I have never bought anything from Ann Summers myself, but my girlfriend has the following to add: Ann Summers is a shop every girl longs to enter, though sometimes they don't have the courage to do it. But, with a little push from a friend or two it can be good, clean fun. Once you enter the store everything is quite naughty, but nice. Every product you buy special consideration, taking into account what your other half would appreciate. Ann Summers can be a couple's best friend because if you need something to spice up your relationship this is where you will find it.

A friend recommended I visit the Dyson Demo store for a little-known service they offer - a Dyson…read moreblowout! The second floor of this Dyson store offers blowouts with the Dyson hair products, and while I am familiar with their products, I do not own or frequently use their hair products. I have to say, this was an amazing experience and one of the best blow outs I have ever had! The stylists was so thorough and explained every product. She washed and styled my hair in about 40'minutes (and I have long hair). She asked so many questions that I was not used to be asked for blowouts - how I liked my bangs, which way I like my curls, size of curls, hold level, etc. The stylist delivered an amazing result with my hair and the style held and fell out slowly, looking beautiful and fresh down for five days. It's unbelievable! This experience has me seriously considering the air wrap as my next indulgence purchase. It gave me beautiful curls, tamed my flyaways and frizz, and made my hair super soft without drying it out. The stylist showed me all the best practices and it hands down beats all of my at home tools (I use products from a popular US Blowout brand, which are also expensive products though not at the price point of Dyson). I can't member my stylists name, but she had the most beautiful red hair and was so friendly and helpful!

She looked through my wardrobe and put some lovely outfits together using what I already had. We then went shopping (something I usually hate) but she showed me how to shop properly. I even visited shops that I didn't even know existed. I'm the happiest I've ever been, like shopping and mix and match everything. Would highly recommend.

Uh, ok. After a day filled with shopping, my group wanted to stop at Top Shop. Apparently this is a…read moretop clothing shop in London, but really falls flat in regards to selection and quality. Even after an hour of browsing, I have come to the conclusion that this store has the quality of H&M or Forever 21 - just with higher prices and the occasional name brand. Items on sale were very odd looking and disorganized. Not exactly the place I'd like to buy anything, I tried.

USA DO NOT PURCHASE ON-LINE GIFT CARDS from TopShop!…read more On the US TopShop website, the gift cards are electronically generated in EUROS and TopShop stores (in this case, The Grove TopShop in LA) DOES NOT HONOR THEM because "they are not in US dollars". After receiving a $200 gift card that they would not honor, I called their US Customer service number. The US customer service telephone lines ring and then disconnect - continuously. I called their UK customer service number that had an automated "your call is important to us" that kept me on hold for over 40 minutes before connecting to a person (the international phone call alone cost $210). The UK customer service guy checked it all out, confirmed the card, acknowledged the issue, and said they would reissue it in US dollars and email it within the week. No gift card was received. Instead, an email asking for CONFIRMATION of full name, address and zip code. (Image attached) Responded to them - no response. Emailed them again (after the first $200 phone charge I wasn't going to call again) - put in a "que" per automated response saying they were very busy and warning that it I sent another email it would put me on the end of the line and start the process all over again.(see attached) Endless loop - with no results whatsoever.
