I spent Sunday looking for an Indian outfit for a wedding. Having had bad experiences that day in 3…read moreother stores on Ealing Road, I stepped into KrishnaSarees and was greeted very quickly. To my relief I was offered help right away (I'm lost in these Indian clothes stores without any help!). I told the lady what I was looking for and she took me straight to their collection. I liked how the outfits are all hung up quite high so you can really see the full dress. In some of the other shops on Ealing road, they're all folded and packed away in plastic packaging and a shop worker needs to get them out for you to see...of all the shelves stacked full of folded outfits, you can't really know which you want them to show you since all you can see is the colour. So I was quite pleased with Krishna Sarees' set up, it helped me find something I liked quite quickly, bought the first thing I tried on. They recommend a local tailor to carry out any alterations you may need (90% of indian outfits will need to be altered to fit!). All the staff I spoke to were extremely helpful and not at all pushy like a lot of the other shops on Ealing Road. They have a website too which again, makes it better than other stores in Wembley (yes Indian clothes shopping has not yet universally caught up with modern times). They have a wide range of styles and prices too, allowing you to find something that suits your budget. I'd recommend this shop be your first stop if you're shopping in Wembley since it may be the only one you need to visit.

The Designer Warehouse is one of my favourite London discoveries…read more Not far from my home, and just off Seven Sisters road is a monthly sale for designer clothes - having heard from it from a colleague, I didn't really know what to expect. It was great and would definitely recommend giving it a visit. When getting to the warehouse, you have to leave your bag and coat (including your phone) in a cloakroom, and may a small fee of £3 (or 2?) to be able to get in. The sale is over 2 floors, and organised by designers - some are really well known, some are smaller names I've never heard of. It's not a posh environment, it's just rows and rows of clothes on hangers - and you have to take the time to go through them to find the gems, and also your size. There aren't any changing rooms, but there is an area where you can go and try them on at the back of the venue - it's closed off to men, but you do have to accept getting changed in front of other women. I am myself a massive fan of Vivienne Westood, and this was also the opportunity for me to try on a few pieces of her clothes - and yes, I did cave in and buy a top (1/3 of the original price) and a scarf. Good to know: they separate their sales between womanswear and menswear - their schedule is updated on their website.

The store is quite large and they have a faith shoes franchise within the store. Changing rooms are a bit limited with only two cubicles in the ladies and a communal section too - not great if you, like me dislike showing the world your lumps and bumps! In my experience the staff are usually quite helpful and in good supply. The clothes are well made and tend to stand the test of time too.

There is also bags and a few pieces of jewellery up for sale too.
