So, have I mentioned I'm getting married soon? Well, I am - I know fellas, you're just too late!…read more I have the necessary structured bra in a plain-Jane neutral color for under my (fabulous) dress. I have the bog-standard beige seamless knickers for under the dress. But that can't be my wedding night stuff though, can it? NO, of course not - it has to be corsets, suspenders and the like... This boutique in Newtownards offers quite a nice range of bridal underwear for the big day - although mostly whites and creams and quite small sizes on display. The lady working there was very friendly and advised me to start looking now and that if I saw anything I liked she would see me on a Thursday night for a private fitting and that she can order any size in. Some of the corsets were very expensive, one corset alone was £149.00 - wow! The lady saw the look on my face and continued to explain that this was a French set and special. She then pulled out the cheaper, but just as beautiful, set for me to look at. I liked it all but I was just browsing. I will make an appointment and try on a few sets soon. I find all 'fittings' humiliating but the lady seems nice and I guess it has to be done. Wish me luck and no peeking.

On the instructions of my dress maker I was told to avoid any fancy lingerie for under my wedding…read moredress - she said instead 'Get yourself a good, sturdy flesh coloured job to hold yourself in' I took her word for it and got just that out of Debenhams but am now freaking out that that particular bra might not be 'the one' for the honeymoon - if ye know what I mean - nudge nudge, wink wink! Roxbury and McQueen is the only Lingerie shop I have been in that really feels exclusive. The underwear is all displayed beautifully and the girl who works there is so helpful. I had a look at the bridal basques and bras and the like but they are way over my price range. She does have little frilly satin knickers for sale which can have anything you want stitched on the bum - They take a few weeks and cost £69.00 with Mrs whatever or £59 if it's 'just married' on the bottom. I might splash out on these. The shop also sells really cool tights with designs and print on them, I have never seen these around Belfast before and will be sure to be telling my cool mate who would love them. I really liked my experience in this shop and I wish I could afford some of the lovely bits, don't get me wrong they are not extortionate by any means just over my budget. If you are looking for nice friendly service, a lovely boutique feeling and a gorgeous underwear set then go here.

I'm just amazed it's still open. Sort of Grace Brothers meets Macy's Irish style. The staff are…read moreutterly charming and they stuff they sell has class. It is a labyrinth with stairs up and down leading to small interconnected rooms full of delights. They serve good food and wonderful coffee. Now I usually dislike shopping (outside food and drink) but when I'm in a place as wonderful as this it's a different story. It's one of the few places that sells Chanel No 5 perfume - Chanel are careful as to who can trade their merchandise - 100ml £100. It had the remnants of a Black eye Friday sale that included men's shoes. I am fussy about shoes. I like proper soft leather, the touch and the smell - including leather on the soles and heels. Shoes that are strong and clench your feet - shoes that demand enthusiastic brushing and polish or as I was growing up spit and polish. Proper nails in the heels and great stitching are vital too. If it's made in China footwear or India it's not going on my feet. Period. I found a pair that were perfect. Fitted like they were especially made just for me. £200 down to £75 and wonderful and now mine. They will mould to the shape of my feet over time and will be so much better when they do. Old shoes are like old friends - comfortable to be with. These places are from another time and we must support them for as long as we can as to lose them means it feels like we lose a piece of ourselves.

In my dreams, I own a shop like this. And I show up for work every day looking like Cameron Diaz at…read morethe Oscars and sit all day inside, looking gorgeous and being fabulous. This shop makes you want to be fabulous - I swear even if you were a twenty ton heifer who looks like the back end of a bus and is a firearm enthusiast - you would feel girly and giggly in here. It's NOT cheap, and its got every pretty thing you could imagine, the clothes and accessories are lovely. I've yet to actually purchase anything in here because for one - the clothes don't fit me (story of my life!) and two, I can't justify the money. If you have a credit card that you don't mind splurging on - pop in here to give it a good work out in girly gorgeous glamorous heaven.

I have also been to visit Debenhams a few times recently as they seem to have the best euro rate at the moment. If you exchange over a certain amount of euros you get a £5 off voucher to use that day - excludes beauty and fragrance.
