It's a lovely stop along the outdoor Buchanan Street pedestrian mall. With four levels, lots of retail, a few restaurants, and one great chocolatier, Princes Square Shopping Centre is worth a few hours of shopping for the ladies on vacation in Glasgow. The facility is just steps from the St. Enoch subway station on the Inner Line if you need a reference to the metro stops.

Not being much of a shopping centre fan generally, I actually really like Princes Square. Granted,…read moreI don't actually do much shopping here but it is nice for a place to take cover on a rainy day and browse the shops. This is an upmarket shopping centre which has more expensive high street shops like Reiss, Ted Baker, Vivienne Westwood and Cos (which I'm still yet to check out!). The centre is certainly decorated to match the crowd it's looking to attract - glitzy, glam and always clean and tidy. I like the size of the centre as well - it's very dinky but still has lots of shops and is easy to navigate. There's also a host of restaurants, bars and cafés but I'll be honest - I've not visited many of them. I ate at Barca probably 4 years ago and also one of the places on the bottom floor but I think that's changed hands. One down side is that if you are dining at a restaurant on the lower level, parents will tend to let their kids run riot in the centre circle which can be a bit of a mood-killer. Princes Square doesn't have a car park due to its location but it is really close to train and subway. If you do really fancy driving, probably St Enoch or Mitchell Street are the closest car parks.

There is a decent mix of ships from Next to Schuh to Boots and many many more. There is mobile shops, coffee shops and plenty of places to eat such as TGI's, Pizza Express, Nandos, etc. The one age old gripe about the Fort is it is not under cover. So when it's cold, it's bloody freezing at times. Especially if there is a high wind. I am not a huge fan of shopping in general , but when I need to, I often go here. There is plenty of parking and at the very least you can get to go to Millie's and buy cookies...... Cookie availability is always a plus point.

M&S has always been a lovely place to treat yourself or others, which is why I was overjoyed when…read morethey opened this store at The Forge Retail Park. This great big outlet store has a huge selection of ladies and men's clothing at much lower prices than they are normally sold at M&S stores. These items are generally from a previous season, which is why they are offered at reduced prices, but they are of the same high quality that you would expect from M&S. I particularly love their lingerie and hosiery here as their tights are of excellent quality and are generally sold at buy one get one half price (on my last visit I got two pairs of super thick and long lasting tights for only £2.25!). If you're tired out from bargain hunting, there is a little cafe towards the back of the shop, serving M&S products of course, including tasty soups, sandwiches, cakes and selection of hot drinks. I love M&S and I love discounted M&S even more.

Shops like B&Q, Halfrauds, Argos, Matalan, Boots, M&S, Sports Direct and that popular pasta place that I confuse with the ice cream...Ben & Jerry's. I only really use it for Sports Direct new gym stuff or football gear. You have a few more stores here but I cannot remember their names don't want to be giving you false info. There is a Burger King just at the entrance to this place if that is what you are into. If you are travelling through, there is a shell garage right next to this place for fuel top up. This place used to be pointless but new shops have popped up and it is getting a little better.

As well as the biggest Marks & Spencer Simply Food that I have ever seen, it also houses an Argos, a B&G, a couple of furniture and bed shops, some carpet shops, a Curry's,a homebase and a halfords. Basically, it's great place to go if you're doing a bit of redecorating and DIY. There's also a drive-through Burger King if you're peckish. The great thing about this place is that there's a huge car park which is completely free.

My partner and I stopped by Glasgow Vintage Co our last day in Glasgow. There are a few vintage…read morestores around this area, but of the bunch, this one definitely had the best selection. When you walk in, you clearly get the vibe that this is a university student's frequent haunt. As we shopped here, students came in and out, receive a discount, and generally have their needs met with the types of clothing available. However, the selection of clothes in the store isn't so student oriented that a wider audience won't be able to find something of interest. The first floor is more women's oriented, with tartan featuring prominently. The second floor is men's, which had some decent selections of Fred Perrys and the like. When we were there, the store was staffed just by a couple girls on the first floor, and they were pretty deep in conversation with each other. Didn't bother us at all, but perhaps don't expect to have staff catering to your every need here. But if you just like to do your thing and browse through the racks, you should be well sorted.,

TL;DR bad quality, overpriced, cheeky response. Would like…read moreto say the staff member on when I was in was lovely. However... I spent good money (too much) on trousers that had an irreparable defect that I did not notice until I put them on at home. I understand this is a risk with 2nd hand clothing, and places don't accept returns etc, but I do draw the line at paying ~£30 for something I literally can't wear. I messaged their instagram page about it and expressed my disappointment that they weren't willing to reconcile this in any way (I said I felt this was poor customer service) and the message I received back was so cheeky I am honestly in disbelief. So here I am doing the only thing I can do since I've literally wasted my money.

I purchased a raincoat and some winter boots I had originally wanted awhile ago. They were on sale! I've purchased their boots in the past and they are comfortable straight out of the box. They are true to size for me and I've never had any issue with blistering or wearing them in. If you read up on their company they use alot of recycled goods to make their products as well. I recommend their earthkeepers line immensely-such a great line of shoes. Very modern and not your traditional workman boot that you associate with Timberland.

Worth a look if you're into outdoorsy things :)

Pushy, obsessive girlfriends drag sweating, shifty-eyed boyfriends around here and coo in an innocent-but-underlyingly-persuasive manner at gigantic engagement rings.

The walls and ceiling sparkle with the reflected light of a million facets - most people can only afford to browse. Wandering around here is an enjoyable way to spend half an hour.
