The idea of airport shopping is a bit strange to me, mainly because I'm an overly-organised person…read moreand have a full carry on bag at most times. But if shopping is your thing, then you're probably going to love The Fashion Place. This is in the newly refurbished part of the departures area near the Beardmore and is actually a pretty large, well-stoked shop. It's not cheap either, so you can expect to find designer brands and slightly hefty prices here. I just popped in for a quick nosey. The store is laid out by brand rather than gender and they stock labels like Superdry, Lacoste, Armani, Boss Orange, Ted Baker and Barbour. They also do shop and collect meaning you can buy your stuff and then pick it up when you return from your trip which I imagine would be quite handy (but delayed gratification is not my kind of thing, so I'd just take it with me.) Worth a look + don't worry about getting pestered by the staff, they barely looked at me.

If I'm visiting friends abroad it always comes in handy if I've completely forgotten to get them something and as they have such a great selection of accessories it's not too hard to find something to suit different tastes. I guess it's also good for the company to have a shop strategically places in an Airport so forgetful travellers can pop in here if they've forgotten something. When I went to Germany last Christmas I realised I'd forgotten my hat and as I where I was staying wasn't exactly shopping heaven so I decided my best bet was to get a hat from Accessorize, I found a really pretty knitted hat but had to part with £25 for it which I thought was rather steep. It is a nice hat though. Overall, a handy branch of Accessorize to buy a last minute gift or if you've forgotten to take something on holiday with you.

The best time is when the winter sales come up and the put all the summer stuff on sale like bikini etc and they are super cheap so I always stock up for the summer! The only down side about this store is if I'm not already through security working I can't be bothered dragging myself through

Of all the Matalan's in all the world, I have to walk into this one! It always has the best of the…read morestock and I really like the layout for the store and the very friendly staff. I am a big Matalan fan but it is only in past couple of years that I have had the confidence to openly admit it to my peers, now when they say, "Nice dress Lisa," I proudly reply, "A tenner from Matalan, get in!" The store at the Phoenix always has gorgeous little dresses, shoes and bags, usually for under £20. Of course they are never made of the best materials but I still find the quality to be much better than rival store Primark. It is also a good thing if you're buying clothes and things for going on holiday and you know they are going to end up covered in sand and booze and allsorts so you don't want to spend a lot of money on them anyway. I absolutely love Matalan's "Cozy Up" range of night wear. I bought a fluffy white dressing gown with pink hearts on months ago and it has been washed umpteen times but is still as fluffy and cozy as when I first bought it. The lingerie is really pretty too. Unfortunately they don't sell my bra size but I like the packs of 5 ladies boxers, very cute. When I first moved out of my parent's home I bought a lot of my home ware from this Matalan store, basic things like towels and a laundry basket. There are collections by Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, Colin and Justin and Linda Barker. I can't stand Linda Barker but unfortunately I love her range of kitsch crockery! There is also a collection by Martine McCutcheon which I find more than a little bit random! My favorite section of this Matalan store is the M Party section. This section has everything you need to throw the perfect party. There is a multitude of different invitations, decorations, party games and fancy dress costumes. You could spend an hour just in this department alone!

Massive helium balloons are available too. An lovely range of baby and children clothes, cheap but excellent quality. The adults clothes are nice too, great for buying stuff for your holidays - the swimwear and massive beach towels are fab! They also have a really nice range of homeware, which includes the Katie Price bedding range. Their christmas range is great, loads of gorgeous decorations and gifts at cheap prices!

The window display is ever changing and everything always looks very sophisticated. The clothes always look great quality and even though the clothes aren't ridiculously expensive, they look like they should cost a lot of money. My aunt has bought a few items from here and I particularly like a couple of scarves she's purchased from Eyecandy. Whenever I have ventured in, I usually have a browse at their costume jewellery, I got my mum a lovely brooch from here a few years ago. They have a good selection and many unusual pieces too. Great little place and the staff are really friendly too I also adore the name!

No matter how classy they try to make themselves they are all essentially up market sex shops. Whenever I see the red silk slips and the lacy thongs with suspenders I just think of one of those cheesy old movies where the femme fatale announces that she is going to "slip into something a little more comfortable." Oh dear. I don't know why but these shops just make me cringe beyond belief. This one is right in the middle of Clarkston, right next to the ice-cream shop and the primary school it just sticks out like a sore thumb and seems really inappropriately placed. The last thing you want is to bump into your neighbour walking his dog while you step out with a pair of suspenders. I'm personally not into this kind of thing but I guess it does the job for people who are.

The changing rooms are a little small but they are tucked in so that no-one ever need see you trying on your bra. Some of the bras are very pricey but the others are the same as buying in Debenhams, with a much better service. If they don't have your size they will order in for you. Once being fitted (and they suggest a quick check before buying any bra) you are shown a selection of styles and prices, and never forced into buying the dear ones!! Highly recommend for a decent fitting- it makes all the difference.

Basically it does what it says on the tin! The goods are laid in out by colour, which I like, the emphasis being on colourful tops studded with the ubiquitous sequin and sexy dresses. You know what I'm trying to say. Hopefully. For such unusual clothes, prices are very reasonable starting at around £20 with regular sales.

I completely agree with Eleanor's statement that the dresses are old fashioned. There is no doubt…read morethat many of these are aimed at more mature ladies and this is pretty apparent from a glance at the window display. However, there are also some rather fancy numbers which would be good for more formal do's. Though, like Eleanor I'm pretty small at 5ft 3", hence didn't even attempt to try on their long, flowing cocktail dresses. This is also the reason why I can't comment greatly on customer service. But, when I popped in for a nosey the staff seemed pleasant enough and after a quick greeting and enquiry as to what I had in mind, they happily left me along to have a browse. Potentially this was only because I clearly had no idea or occasion in mind, who knows? Anyway, this is a pleasant enough shop though up my street; I'm sure it's the kind of place that your mum or older aunt might enjoy a look in.

Cuckoo is a very fancy little boutique on Clarkston Road. I popped in here a few years ago when I…read morewas looking for a dress for my School Leavers Dance. This didn't go as well as I'd hoped. After trying on what felt like 100 dresses, I left disheartened as none of them suited me. I actually thought a few looked quite good but the busybody shop assistant assured me that none of them did after humming and hawing and a series of, "yes, that one's not for you..." I can't say it was a very positive shopping experience and definitely not good for my self-confidence. To be fair, I'm only 5ft so very small and I guess I didn't really do any of the dresses justice. I kind of just looked like a little girl who was trying on my mums clothes. I think the dresses here are generally designed for womanly hourglass figures so unless you're Marilyn Monroe, forget it. The dresses are very glamorous to look at but I found some of them were a bit old fashioned and be warned, if you're looking for an ego boost you definitely won't get it here!
