Brenda Muir is quite a compact shop - but you'll still find a great selection of outfits. Like many of the other clothing shops along Hyndland Road, it is aimed at women of 30/40+, but that doesn't stop me from heading in and having a browse through some really chic tailored clothing. As well as the clothing, at Brenda Muir you'll also find a dazzling selection of costume jewellery and pashmina scarves of almost every colour. This is a great shop to visit if you're looking for some sophisticated workwear.

This place just doesn't seem to be working hard enough. To give it a good review would be dishonest. The little boutique sells a very small selection of women's clothes, all of which I found to be tacky and overpriced. A few completely random accessories and beauty items were scattered around. Sorry :(

When me and my boyfriend visited Angel Whispers, he said he felt like he was in a coffin it was so…read moresmall! Needless to say he wasn't a fan. For me, it wasn't so much the size that put me off, but the bland stock. I was in here a few days ago and can barely remember any of the designers labels they had in stock since the clothes bored me a little. They reminded me very vaguely of some of the clothes you get in the cool designer section of Camden Market in London, but done really badly. I can't think of any high street clothes that thee clothes would fit in well with.....I suppose maybe a less exciting Dorothy Perkins. There's a scant collection of clothing on offer and a couple of really gorgeous knitted cardi's which redeemed it somewhat for me. But although some people may find a cute little black dress for a fancy dinner, it wasn't as glamourous as I expected from the quality of the designers, nor did anything really grab my attention. What's more, it was moderately expensive for a little boutique. Go have a gander as the woman is nice, but it's a wee bit blah...sorry.

I'm on a personal mission to review every shop at The Avenue, and so continued my quest by visiting…read morehere for the first ever time. Now, I have to admit that I'd never been in here before as I'd assumed that it was a shop for older people. Within the first 10 seconds I realised how wrong I'd been when I spotted Vero Moda (one of my favourite brands) and then some French Connection - what have I been missing all this time?! Their range is actually probably more suited to women in their 30s-40s and they have some really great stuff, so much so I am definitely treating myself to a full-on shopping session here soon. The prices are what you'd expect for these kinds of brands, and they're having a sale just now. It's all women's clothes and accessories and they have a good range for the size of the shop. I'm definitely kicking myself for overlooking it all this time!

I actually love Wilkies - I've got a few dresses out of here myself (and they were under £50 -…read morebargain!) but I especially love their good old-fashioned customer service. My Gran used to regularly shop here before she fractured her pelvis, but she's been in recently to pick out an outfit for a wedding - and the staff were a massive help, offering to take things downstairs for her to try on, instead of her having to go up and down the spiral stairs, and made what could have been a stressful shopping trip a lot easier!

Lured in by Wilkie's jagged 80s door sign and the prospect of some cool clothes hidden in this…read moremoderate sized store, me and my boyfriend went in for a wee browse. Admittedly, these clothes aren't aimed towards my age group but even for those who may want to purchase them, I found them a bit expensive. I don't know if I was expecting this place to be along the same lines as Happit, or perhaps more provincial and selling some practical wooly jumpers to help locals brave the elements. It's more designer than the aging fronting of the shop store sign may suggest, and so more expensive. There were a lot of studded jumpers and work trousers downstairs, along wiith a section dedicated to selling insulated jackets and more practical fashions. Upstairs, Wilkies hosts lingerie, bedwear and some designers. The clothing on this floor is more up market and more up to date than that of downstairs. A lot of the clothes up here struck me as being suitable for trendy dinner parties, and some items would certainly suit someone in the process of jazzing up their wardrobe. But with jackets coming in at a cool £150 each, it was hard to see past the price label. This store is undoubtedly handy for locals and is certainly good quality. But if you're looking for something a bit more up to date at a slightly cheaper price, you're probably better going to M&S.

The clothes range also covers expectant mums, glad no doubt, to be able to choose something other than the usual dungarees and huge t-shirts. Recent additions to the shop include very pretty Mother and child accessories and crockery, including a Beatrix Potter range. While not cheap (some of the clothes are crazy dear, craaazy dear) you can rely on being the best dressed Mum or child around, if that is your priority. Otherwise, it's hard to beat Asda's George these days.

Tucked away down on the quite splendidly west endy Skirving Street on the South Side, this place is a quite funky wee shop with cutsey clothing, accessories and other bits and bobs for gals and babies.....there is a gentle nod to some guys stuff but really, with a name like Butterfly Kisses they aint exactly lookng to corner the man market. Anyway, this is a cute wee place with some really funky gear. Ok its a tad pricey but to be honest the gear looks to be of a high quality and its in nowhere near the same ridiculous price bracket as the west end. With a freindly and helpful owener i do hope this place is around to celebrate its second birthday come next year.....me likes.
