Monsoon sells some of the most beautiful clothes - but you really do have too pay for them. I think…read morethat Monsoon have a really distinct style which I like but understand is not for everyone. Their clothes are of outstanding quality but can sting the pocket a little bit. I don't mind paying for something unique or special but sometimes I wonder how they can justify a £50 price tag on a plain top similar to one being sold for a third of the price across the way in Next. Monsoon is where I would go for a really special outfit - wedding etc. Sale rail is always worth a look.

Love Monsoon but so vastly overpriced to be honest to can get good quality clothing from young…read moredesigners online at much more reasonable prices, though I am tempted when an occasion calls for something a little special.

Very upmarket designer dress shop selling a variety of clothing for work and play…read more One of the only places in the region to stock so many high class labels. They have everything from designer jeans, and suits to glamorous evening dresses and they also stock matching jewellery, belts and bags. There is also a well stocked shoe shop downstairs where again many high class brands such as Gabor are sold. For husbands of shopohlic women there is a welcome couches and coffee on tap so take in a paper or a good book and relax those aching feet!! Annabelle is very helpful and will give you honest advice on what suits you and find you other items to try.

I usually really like Dorothy Perkins but this store never seems to 'float my boat' for some…read morereason. Usually I would say DP's clothes are reasonable priced, decent quality and great for work, every day wear. They also do nice costume jewellery and accessories and pretty good shoes. However, this store is quite small and doesn't ever seem to have much variety. I would say it is ok if you are looking for a top for work but doesn't offer much else. It is a shame because the Burton's up the stairs seems to have much more stock.

The stores new larger location makes room for a much wider range of clothing and accessories and now includes children's wear in addition to the usual range of funky shoes, bags, and clothes to work or party in. Friendly staff and decent sized changing rooms make your shopping experience a great one. You can always find something to suit you in New Look no matter what your style. Great clothes that don't break the bank.

I love this New Look. It is as big as any I have ever been in, even in cities. It has a huge…read moreselection of women's clothing and also does mens and kids which I think is fairly new to them. They have a great shoe department too which I can lose days in! As the store is so big they must have something for everyone. They have a number of different ranges and be it work clothes, going out outfits or comfies you are bound to get something here. Prices are good and quality is decent for the price. Plus the usually have a sale rail which can be somewhat enticing!

I actually love Wilkies - I've got a few dresses out of here myself (and they were under £50 -…read morebargain!) but I especially love their good old-fashioned customer service. My Gran used to regularly shop here before she fractured her pelvis, but she's been in recently to pick out an outfit for a wedding - and the staff were a massive help, offering to take things downstairs for her to try on, instead of her having to go up and down the spiral stairs, and made what could have been a stressful shopping trip a lot easier!

Lured in by Wilkie's jagged 80s door sign and the prospect of some cool clothes hidden in this…read moremoderate sized store, me and my boyfriend went in for a wee browse. Admittedly, these clothes aren't aimed towards my age group but even for those who may want to purchase them, I found them a bit expensive. I don't know if I was expecting this place to be along the same lines as Happit, or perhaps more provincial and selling some practical wooly jumpers to help locals brave the elements. It's more designer than the aging fronting of the shop store sign may suggest, and so more expensive. There were a lot of studded jumpers and work trousers downstairs, along wiith a section dedicated to selling insulated jackets and more practical fashions. Upstairs, Wilkies hosts lingerie, bedwear and some designers. The clothing on this floor is more up market and more up to date than that of downstairs. A lot of the clothes up here struck me as being suitable for trendy dinner parties, and some items would certainly suit someone in the process of jazzing up their wardrobe. But with jackets coming in at a cool £150 each, it was hard to see past the price label. This store is undoubtedly handy for locals and is certainly good quality. But if you're looking for something a bit more up to date at a slightly cheaper price, you're probably better going to M&S.

Admittedly if you are a teenager looking for designer jeans with holes curiously already in the knees, then you're probably going to be disappointed. But if you're a woman who likes to expresses her personality using colour, cut and style then Libra Fashion is without question worth spending time getting to know.

When walking into this shop you feel immediately like a lady, as this place sells ladies things…read more I was last minute wedding accessories shopping and I realised, only by looking into the shop window, I didn't have a necklace. The one on the half a head dummy looked beautiful, ok my description of the display may not be selling it to you but it was a really pretty and unusual looking piece of jewellery. This shop is probably more mother of the bride by looking at the outfits on display. They do have a good range of accessories, from fasinators, handbags, scarfs and jewellery. The ladies were very helpful and the lady who initially served me got the necklace from the shop window for me. It was a little more than I would have liked to have spent but it really was pretty and would go perfectly with my outfit. So next time you're in Hamilton ladies have a wee look. It does feel very intimate as it's a small sized shop but it's very brightly lit and you can see in through the window display, so I would window shop first before heading in. By the way there's no way you'll get 'Madonna Voguing' here, a wee disappointed but I'll get over it. I just keep it all in my head instead. Vogue!
