The products are pretty expensive but the Quality is good - Sale time is therefore the best time to buy. The store is decorated with photos from the fashion shows and the famous angel wings. The service in the store is very helpful and friendly.

Often understated and always simple and stylish, its a good introduction to the shop itself and a clear indication of what you might find inside. This clothing, gift-ware, and accessories shop offers often much-needed inspiration for a man wishing to find original, cutesy, and homely wares for females. And it is aimed quite clearly at the fairer sex and the feminine ones at that. They stock a few sweets too so buy some traditional sherbet lemon sweets from the counter to eat while you browse for added sweetness!

Brummie bohemians rejoice! Xanadu is a great little fair trade clothes shop located in Selly Oak,…read morethat's a much needed establishment to the area. Students at University of Birmingham can finally become hippies again (which is exactly what the student life should be like!). Stocking men's and women's clothes, each item is handmade to perfection and imported from the likes of India and Nepal. There's a brilliant selection of garments that rival the Hippy Buddy shop in the Oasis Market perfectly. In fact, I find this shop a lot more convincingly authentic when compared to most other stores in the same league. As well as fresh, uniquely, natural-made clothes, Xanadu also sells didgeridoos, candles, incense, singing bowls and many other spiritually inspiring products. There's a great selection of religious symbolisms and buddha statues sold in store too; I'd love this place to be my house, I'd feel so cultured and relaxed! Especially when you realise that Xanadu are massage therapist as well! When can I move in? This is a brilliant shop that basks in everything bohemian, and even the store front has been hand designed too. I wish more shops were as beautifully creative as this!

I really like this shop, I think that it is different and alternative, especially in comparison to…read morethe other stores in Selly Oak. It has a variety of clothing for both men and women and is what some may call a 'hippy shop'. I have never bought any clothes from here, but they have more to offer as well as clothes. They also sell candles, crystals, pretty ornaments for home, incense and lots of other healing and holistic-style materials. They also offer various treatments too such as reflexology and massage. You would have to enquire about these though as I have not booked any myself. I like coming in here as it is peaceful and I like the candles and incense. The staff are friendly and are willing to chat about the things they offer here including spiritual advice. Overall, it is a good shop if you are into this kind of thing!

Ok now I am still on the Christmas shopping mission so my point of call today was Ann Summers. Now…read moreI know what you all are thinking and that it that what can you buy people from Ann Summers and I will tell you that there are some great things to be had. I knew what I wanted to buy when I went there which is always easy but trust me when you get into one of the shops, you cannot help but have a little wonder around. I am going to give you a little warning before you continues, this review does contain rude things so please do not read on if you get offended by things of a sexual nature. - What is Ann Summers? Ann Summers is a shop which sells gorgeous lingerie and then sex related things. I should warn you that if you do not like sexy and rude things then you will probable not like this shop or my review so just skip to the verdict at the end. - Where can you find one? Well Ann Summers shops are popping up everywhere now but if you go to http://www.annsummers.co.uk then you will find a store locator so you can find your nearest store to visit. The shops are very distinctive with the huge Ann Summers name branded across the top of every shop I have seen. The writing is usually red and in a very simple font and the symbol by the writing is an apple with a bite taken out of it. Every store you look into actually looks quite dark but trust me it is good inside. - The Shops: Now obviously they are going to vary depending on where you are but I have three near to me and all three of them as I said earlier are quite dark inside. I am not sure why they do this but they all seem to be the same. The shop windows are very clean and well presented usually with a special offer on show if there is one and some of the latest lingerie collections on the dummies. As you walk in I think you will notice how small the shops do look. In my opinion this is because they tend to stock the shelves really well and get as many products as they can out onto the shop floor which is good because you can usually find what you want. The stores are all set out the same as far as I know. You will find that lingerie is at the front of the shop and set around the walls on shelving. In the middle of the shop there are usually stands which contain toys and games and just basically little bits and bobs such as Christmas gifts for Christmas. The back of the store is where you will find the X rated stuff which is basically your vibrators, sex videos and bondage gear. All shops should have a changing room too so you can try on before you buy. The shops always look neat but they are quite hard to get a wheelchair or pushchair around to be honest. I used to take my friend in a wheelchair and we found it difficult if people were clogging up the aisles as they would then have to move to let us through. I think they are within the minimum standard for space between aisles but still it is tough in all the stores I have been into. - The Products: Now I know you have all been waiting for this part of my review (well the guys anyway). Now skip if you do not like rude things. I will start with the lingerie. Now the lingerie is fantastic and they generally do sizes from a 30A to a 38F in bras and sizes 8 20 in briefs and thongs. The underwear is quite expensive usually with a bra costing £25 and thongs costing £12 but they are fantastic quality. The range they have at the moment is very sexy and when you try the underwear on you feel great and girls I really believe your partners will appreciate any set from this shop. I would recommend at the moment a range called Madame Fifi which is gorgeous. Yes you will find that every range has a name so if you know what you want you can just ask an assistant and she will find you the sets. Now we move onto the dressing up section which is absolutely great. All girls should try on one of these outfits which consist of a nurse, air hostess and masseuse. Also for Christmas they have a sexy Santa outfit. I know that you all are thinking no way but dressing up can do wonders for your self esteem and your sex life. The outfits are very sexual with a lot of leg and cleavage on display and cost around £35. I can guarantee that if you try one on girls you will love it on yourself and be so tempted to buy one and yes they are very comfortable. The bondage section is one I never visit because to be honest it scares me a little bit but they do have one so you can buy handcuffs, leather whips, tape and outfits which leave almost nothing to the imagination. They have a good range though if you are into that type of thing. The naughtiest section I am sure in many peoples books is the sex toys section which contains your vibrators basically and they do have a huge range. If you are new to sex toys then they do what is called a buzz starter kit which is £20 to ease you into it (no pun intended). For the people who just want to go for it however they do the infamous rampant

Even though in 2010 I moved further into the city, the fact that Jay is now 20 minutes walk for me and yet I still go to see her says everything you need to know. I occasionally have other treatments but as far as the regular wax goes, the time goes so quickly and pleasantly as Jay keeps me talking throughout. She remembers everything I talked about during my last treatment and asks how I'm getting on with all my projects. We also swap movie chat and she listens patiently as I tell her about by travels and my writing. Jay has never been late for me despite always being busy. They offer late appointments and only take cash but there is a cash point right outside.

The interior is a lot more inviting than the exterior would lead you to believe. It;s decorated with patterned wallpaper which gives it a modern feel.

Before you go in the sunbed, don't forget to ask the girl behind the desk for some goggles. They also sell a range of tanning creams which will prolong your tan so definitely worth asking about these if you pop in.
