A good high street shop offering fairly priced good quality clothing and accessories. This store is never too crowded but can sometimes feel a bit like a car boot sale as it is so disorganized with stuff lying around every where or hung up in the wrong places.

This location also has a really good selection of the home range with sofas, wall paper and everything else that you might need to turn your house into floral country cottage style place. The sales assistant that helped me was super helpful and knowledgeable about their sofas. She asked me to have a seat on the sofa that I was considering while she went to get the fabric books and leaflets with the details of the sofa. They have a huge range of fabrics, three books worth to choose from, everything from plain to pink houndstooth. There also was no pressure to order and decide right away and a quote was put together so I could come back and just order without having to go through all the options again. A very friendly store and I'll be back again to look at other options when I move on to wall paper and nick nacks for the next room.

Even with 30% or 50% off, some things can be a tad expensive but often worth it for the high quality. Some things can have a middle-aged woman feel to them, but I do like many of their cute floral dresses and nice women's work clothing that are great for young people, too! Today I found a beautiful dress marked down in the clearance section several times from £85 to £33! Besides the clothing which I usually focus on, they also do home decor. It's worth a pop in!

A shop dedicated to ties & scarves you ask! Well, yes, Portobello has a shop dedicated just to…read morethese items of clothing! Situated on the far end of the Portobello High Street this shop does not appear very grand from the outside. Indeed, the front of the shop is quite minimal, not bland, but not trying to stand out in the crowd of shops. Inside, as you expect is a great range of ties and scarves for all. From formal to more modern ties, this shop has it all (albeit, in a limited number). Also, the scarves on offer are not just your normal woolly, winter scarves but also come in the form of silk scarves, scarves which are very much suitable for summer weather! The shop was quite quiet when I visited it, indeed the atmosphere of this quiet shop really did match its appearance. The prices are quite expensive, but for a good quality tie and scarf I would not be complaining. However, part from that, there were many stylish ties to buy, and I may even pay this shop a visit again for a classy tie.
