If you don't fancy spending Topshop or River Island prices, then this is a good place to shop. I…read morethink shops like this can be great as they have fashionable items but are half the price, which is what we need in our recession. This shop has lots to offer us ladies, such as the latest fashions such as checked shirts, jeggings and just plain knitwear for those winter months. I do not normally shop in places like these as I love Topshop, but when I went in I was impressed with how busy it was and also the stock that they had.

This is what the owners of this shop thought and decided to open their own unique menswear shop. And since 2005, it has become very successful. I went in on a Saturday and it was busy.

Considering it's a clothes shop its rather small, however they seem to stock the sort of brands I go for. The staff were friendly and helpful too. It doesn't matter that the site is small as I was pointed in the direction of their websiteI took a look when I got home and was impressed at what they had on offer. I'm not the sort of person who would pay £100 for a pair of jeans, however I am a big Converse & Vans fan so I imagine I'll be dropping by when I'm next in the market for a pair of trainers :)

It still has its loyal clientele though - needlework fans, various members of my family who have taken up knitting - I knitted my boyfriend a hat but all my friends laughed at him so now his sister has it, shame.. Anyhoo, it also has an awesome selection of buttons. Aren't fashion mags always telling to 'update' your 'wardrobe' by sewing new buttons on things.

Unfortunately I bought the IKEA poang chair and footstool only to find that upon unwrapping there was an incredibly pungent fishy smell!! Half a can of febreeze and two days later its still here!!

Top tip: try the apple cider in the restaurant, it's beautiful! Or pick it up in the shop at the end if you're driving you won't regret it.
