Zara is my go-to store for clothes shopping and I'd normally shop at Buchanan Street or Silverburn…read more However, this store at the Fort is probably the best of the lot and I'd consider coming to the Fort just to go here. The store is really large and spacious, and was super neat and tidy when I visited. (If you visit during a sale it might be a bit of a riot!). There's a separate area at the back with casual/TRF and generally it's an easy store to navigate. I didn't head upstairs but that's where the men's and kids stuff is. I grabbed a new coat for winter, wool and reasonably priced at £80. By the counter they have perfumes and vest tops and impulse buying struck, and I grabbed a two pack of perfume for £13 and three vests at £10 each. The staff were friendly and helpful. Yep, this is the Zara for me.

Miss Selfridge specialises in pretty pieces and all things girly and gorgeous, without going over the top. Although it's a little pricey, everything is of great quality and will last you well as a wardrobe staple. I love that there are always items on sale in this store, which makes stylish shopping a little easier on the purse.

Slightly bigger than your average Warehouse store, the branch at the Fort Shopping Centre is…read moredefinitely worth a look if you're into high class high street clothes. Big enough to stock a large proportion of their line, this store also has large changing rooms and friendly staff. It's also paired up with a number of other similar high street stores in the close vicinity - which makes the Fort a great option for a shopping trip. This isn't an outlet store, and you won't find items here any cheaper than you would in either of their city centre stores. However, they usually have a couple of sale rails where you can pick up some great bargains - so its worth keeping an eye out!

TK Maxx is one of those Marmite type stores. You either love it or hate it! I personally love it…read morebut even then I need to be in the mood for a good bargain hunt and have a couple of hours to spare. Of all the TK Maxx stores in the Glasgow area this is by far the best. It is huge and while the layout can seem a bit random and chaotic, it is still a lot more shopable than some of the other TK Maxx stores. My first ever job was when I was 16 and I used to do a wee Saturday shift in the TK Maxx store in Paisley. The store staff genuinely have no idea what kind of goods they are going to get in on the delivery trucks. The stuff just turns up and they put it out on the shop floor! This means that the staff can seem a little unhelpful but trust me, it's only because they are genuinely as clueless as you are sometimes! You can pick up something in TK Maxx and have no idea what it actually is, and the staff probably don't know either. Personally I think that just adds to the experience! TK Maxx will often get one delivery of an item and then will never get it in again so if you see something you like I recommend you buy it then and there because it is doubtful you will ever have the opportunity again if you don't! I love The Fort's TK Maxx for the great selection of good quality bags they sell. I am a self confessed bag snob however I am also paid peanuts so TK Maxx is a great compromise for me. I can buy excellent, genuine leather bags for a decent price. I have posted a photo of a bag I bought recently which I love. Check it out if you want to see the kind of gems you can find in this store. I have also bought a lot of household bits and pieces from this TK Maxx store. I live in a rented flat in Glasgow and wanted to buy some things to make the place feel like home and have a bit of character to it and you can always find something interesting in TK Maxx. Again I have posted some photos of household items I've bought recently if you're interested in having a look.

I need to be in the mood to browse and on the hunt for a bargain, so I tend to only go in when the mood suits me. When I am in the mood to bargain hunt, I like this TK Maxx. This store is HUGE! Seriously! Spread out over two floors, the downstairs covers clothing, bags, shoes and beauty accessories. Every time I am in TK Maxx, I need to have a look at the beauty section just to see if there are any hidden gems to be found. Yeah the items aren't displayed in the most attractive fashion and it's more of mish mash of similar types of products eg. nail polishes all thrown together and your mission - if you choose to accept it - is to find the one for you! Sometimes you're lucky and stumble upon a great find but don't get your hopes up. This was one of my more unsuccessful visits.. I don't generally have a look through the clothing rails here, just because there are so many (and although they are clearly marked) I don't really have the desire to hunt through them. Upstairs focuses on kids items and homeware. They have a dodgy selection of candles (I don't know why candles from TK Maxx always smell so unappealing), kitchen gadgets (was tempted to buy some cute Mary Berry cake forks reduced to £7.99) and garden furniture. There is also an aisle dedicated to stationery and craft supplies which is fun to rummage through. In a lot of TK Maxx, packaging has been opened, items are marked and there's just not care in presentation. This TK Maxx is one of the better stores and a lot of the items are in perfect condition as you would expect to find in any store. Nevertheless, there are many items (particularly notepads etc) that have been scratched/damaged/taken out their packaging which is a bit annoying, especially if it is something you want to buy. There's a lift taking you from the ground to first floor as well as stairs. Staff are always friendly enough and there's plenty of tills so you're never waiting too long in a queue. Overall, this is definitely my favourite TK Maxx.
