A girlie/teenage store full of pink and shiney!…read more This is a girl's dream- cheap shiney jewelry, pink this that and the other, belts, hair pieces, purses, phone holders, and lots of other stuff to drive a mum bonkers. All due though, it keeps a young girl happy, and inexpensive gifts can be got. To wear, hang around yourself, stick on yourself, or to dangle around a bedroom. This branch also does piercing. My daughter's best friend got hers done here, and she had had quite a few problems with swelling, bleeding etc. My daughter had her's done at another place and has had no problems whatsoever. At half the price. I get a bit stressed in here as it's jam packed, but daughter loves it!

I find their stores to cramped and stacked of items, i dont like their earing section because they are just all over the floor! Some of their jewelery can be pretty but still a bit overpriced.

I took a very precious eternity ring in to Morton's given to me by my late husband. They listened…read moreso patiently to my reasons for needing it repaired, and assured me it would look as good as new. Yesterday, I collected the ring, and they were right, it's as good as the day my husband put it on my finger. The price was very reasonable, and I would not hesitate to go to Morton's again for jewellery repairs or purchasers, their window display is stunning. Susan Allen

This was a real find! I've tried to stop actually going in, but nearly always browse the windows…read more The staff are very friendly and helpful, enjoy a chat, and you can buy items over several months if need be. They only stock gold jewelry, all three plus platinum. They do have some exquisite pieces. In addition they buy and sell secondhand jewelry, which leads to even more treasures. Victorian rings, earrings Be sure to have a mortgage if your planning to propose to your girl and want to buy here! I've already left a car here, I would estimate! Morton's also sell gifts and objets d'art. There is always a large selection so do have a good snoop. Probably, if I went in as the kettle boiled, I'd be offered a cup of tea, but I'm happy that my daughter was given something gold plated and therefore not for sale!

I would give a higher review, but the lady at the till is a bit scary…read more I tend to be one of the younger clients of this establishment, with most of the ladies (rarely see a gent) being of the elderly sort. I am no spring chicken, mind you, but I'm a young whipper snapper compared to some of the clientele. The supplies are good, though the selection of crochet accessories is rather woeful, with the vast majority catering towards the home knitter. And there are usually some yarns which are on sale. Having come from North America I am used to yarn being much cheaper - with lines such as Red Heart, Lion & Bernat. I am aware that these yarns are not readily available in the UK, but I suspect that there is still this mentality that knitting/crochet should be only with expensive yarns. I would like this shop, and others, to carry some cheaper acrylic yarns - not everything needs to be made of alpaca wool handpicked by Mayan Indians in the wilds of Ecuador, sometimes cheap acrylic and/or questionable cheap welsh wool is just as good.

Order with confidence, 95% of the complete Sirdar catalogue in stock at all times. We are up to 30% cheaper than both leading retailers and the larger internet sites.

This is my favourite shop in the world! It is my heaven. I think if you were a girly-girl when you…read morewere little, you will love this place. It sells gorgeous, pretty, sparkly, flowery, patterned things such as jewellery, handbags, lingerie, nightwear, scarfs, umbrellas and socks etc Everything i have ever bought from here has been really good quality. The price is basically 'you get what you pay for'. I would definately recommend visiting here for the sales - i bought some lovely snug boot slippers in the sale recently and there pyjamas are probably the nicest i have ever bought from anywhere, very cosy! I think it is now owned by monsoon, not sure if it was in the first place. The staff are also friendly, helpful and chatty.

This store has friendly helpul staff who will give you an honest opinion on whether what you are trying to buy go together and go out of their way to help you find other items. They are a bit crazy and every so often they do live manequins where people get dressed up in the clothes and stand in the shop window pretending to be a manequin! I think its for charity? But all good fun!

This is a small fashionable ladies clothes shop right in the heart of Winton town centre. It has…read morevery cheap high fashion clothes and you can always bag yourself a bargain. It has a good range of evening wear and casual wear along with accessories and footwear. There are a few changing rooms which are very roomy even if a bit grubby.

The store is always running sales promotions and has a high turnover of stock. Check it out for a bargain.

Fabulous shoe shop - always well worth a good snoop…read more They sell such quality shoes and boots and bags, I'm proud Bournemouth has this shop. Service and quality are really the hallmarks here, so expect a bit of a price tag. I don't get here that often so I try to make a point of going in even if I have no intent to buy anything. I love the smell of leather, and looking at their stuff. Well worth a visit,
