Shop for items of quality and value it whispers. Be given excellent service by staff who are wholly invested in their company even though it is a national chain, it nudges. So I am not one of those women in class or age, but I do like John Lewis. A proper old-fashioned department store with modern things for sale. They have a great cross-section of clothing ranges from Levis to Jaeger. They also have a great homes section with crockery by Vera Wang and Jasper Conran giving it cool points but their own brand range is pretty fine stuff as well. The beauty section is stuffed with goodies and I also really like their selection of notebooks and diaries. The best bit however is that they are possibly the only department store in Bristol to have kept their haberdashery section, and it is gorgeous - great wool, interesting selection of fabrics and of course, as with the rest of the store, really helpful staff.

This is probably my second favourite clothes shop in The Mall after H&M. It doesn't always have a…read morehuge number of items that interest me but the ones that they do have I LOVE. The store is of a medium size given that it is half men's & half women's so you do have to go through the rails a little bit (but not so much that it's annoying) to see all that they have. They stock brands such as Diesel, Miss Sixty, Killah, Firetrap, Stark, Full Circle, Ted Baker and FCUK. the only thing that's a bit of a shame is that because they stock a decent number of brands they don't always have a huge amount from each one so often I find I have to go into Broadmead for a wider range of Miss Sixty items than they stock here.

Find this upstairs in the Mall near the M&S end.

There is IKEA if you fancy some furniture shopping or you have an assortment of shops with Boots, Asda Home living, Halfords, Pets, Next etc along with some food places such as Burger King, Pizza Hut or Costa Coffee if you fancy a cup of coffee. There also is a big Tesco nearby so you have access to a lot of shops that you might want to frequent. its not somewhere where I would go to have a nice relaxing walk around whilst doing some shopping but if you are looking for a functional place where you can get in, get your stuff and get out then this is not a bad place.

Come off the slip road on the M32 on a Saturday morning and you could find yourself queuing as far back as the M32 services. On a hot day, this really is not a good thing. There are of course other routes in - the back way from Horfield or cutting out that slip road and coming in from Eastville. Anyway, it's easy to see why it's so busy for they have the biggest Tesco, accompanied by the cheapest petrol station for miles around. There is also Ikea, which people will travel to from as far away as Dorset for. Queues a go go. You will however, always be able to find a parking space as there are loads.

A friend of mine once told me that the reason that girls love handbags and shoes so much is because…read moreit doesn't matter how much weight they lose or put on - their accessories will always look good. For some reason this made the ultimate fashion sense to me, and have even since resigned myself to only buying the best shoes my budget will allow. Sadly, this applies to Kurt Geiger and his work-of-art designs. Some people don't understand the joy of window shopping. Maybe they think it's pointless or redundant but I absolutely love it and Kurt Geiger is my window shopping Mecca. I've only tried on a few pairs of shoes here as the shop assistants seem very in tune to us lookers-not-buyers and have perfected their icy stares, but I long for the day when my lifestyle allows for me to buy a pair of these shoes.

If you like your shoes to be more a piece of art than something to stop your feet getting dirty…read morethen Mr Geiger will do it for you. Although it looks from the window display that if you have trouble on anything over three inches then you're going to seriously embarrass yourself just trying the shoes on then rest assured that there are flat shoes and boots in here as well. It's just that heels look so... rowr. Of course you have to pay for the real killer heels and this is the top end of the high street market, with shoes coming in at £100 a pop minimum. You may get a pair from New Look for £15 but if you go and try a pair of these on you will see its not just the glitter and glam the money goes on, it is the design of the shoe from the sole up. They also stock Nicole Farhi, Carvela and Solea. Thankfully they do knock off almost 50% in sales so that is the time to go here. I think they should run classes on how to walk in heels though - nothing so ugly as a pretty girl clomping in pretty shoes. Find this shop on the top floor of the Mall, at the John Lewis end.

I would say cheap and cheerful - you could update your wardrobe with a few new pieces for the season and not be too upset if you handed them on to be recycled. They have a good range of fashion shoes and accessories. My criticism would be that they tend to cater for the standard sizes - I have a long leg and most of their trouser range just aren't long enough

The staff are polite, helpful and attentative, which is very refreshing. On buying a birthday present, they helped me pick items out and then gift boxed it, explaining various benefits as well as explaining guarantees and exchange policies. This was welcome to know prior to purchase, as so many times I've made a mistake buying things and realising it was the wrong item (I don't pay enough attention beforehand, I go into shopper's mode!) I really felt welcome in the shop, and the prices weren't actually that bad. Prices range from 2.99 for a pair of earrings to 20.00 - 30.00 depening on the style and the stones set in it. When I returned a few days ago to purchase the same earrings for myself, they had unfortunately sold out. However, the staff quickly telephoned other stores of the company, and ordered it in for me. I was really pleased to know that they went that extra mile to help me. Essential is definitely a place I'd visit again.
