I dont make a habit of wearing ladies clothes..... honest!!! But i do quite like shopping, and also…read morebuying gifts. If you want a gift for a lady thats a bit different from the usual high street blah then you should get down to Ellatino. The shop is small and boutique-y but has a wide range of tops, skirts, boots, shoes, handbags and jewellery all at affordable prices and being that they arent a particular brand you can pretend they are designer. Some of the stuff is a little chav chique but overall this place is classy and fashionable with helpful staff on hand with expert advice on girl sizes to a fellow such as myself. Of all the times i've been in desperate need of a girl gift Ellatino hasn't let me down once and you cant really argue with consistency!

A lovely clothing shop in the North Chingford shopping area, near to Somerfield supermarket…read more This shop always has on-trend products in the window and once you're inside it doesn't disappoint. The clothes are fashionable and of a high quality. They are also very well priced. This shop often has sales and caters for all sizes as it is split in two with half the shop dedicated to larger ladies. They also offer a great range of handbags and other accessories. The staff are always friendly and the only downside is the shop is sometimes too small for all it's fans!

staff were rude. racially profiled from the minute I walked into the shop I was followed around…read more when leaving it beeped I gave over my items with my receipt and walked away. like a minute later a man from there store and a security guard came up to me and touched me. I am autistic btw so it was really distressing for me. I gave them the item I brought with the receipt but I never got my item back. to everyone stay away from this store. they took my item that I brought for £15. I have never been treated this way before. I will never go back there. it was absolutely disgusting. teach your staff how to be basic human's to others because they are horrible.

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.

Having been invited to an Indian wedding, I couldn't wait to buy a sari. Being completely new…read moreterritory I enlisted the help of a friend who advised a trip to Green Street. (Instantly thought movie, football hooligans, Elijah Wood). We wondered up and down wandering in and out of the many shops Green Street has to offer and we came across Dulhan. We were instantly greeted by friendly and helpful staff. There were so many amazing colours and sparkles, I was in magpie heaven! I was very concerned I was going to spend a fortune as the fabrics were so beautiful and intricate but there was a range of prices depending on the style and type of fabric. My friend asked if it was possible to sew me into the sari to make it easier for me to dress myself on my own and they were very accommodating and they stitched the pleats for me. I was shown twice how to wrap myself up and given tips on pinning so I didn't unravel. All in all a brilliant experience. Now I can't wait to wear it to the wedding.

The shop is quite big and is located opposite Barclays bank. The shop also sells children's clothes as well as boys suits and girls saris. The prices are quite cheap and usually clothes that can be used for occasion wear. There is parking nearby on Shrewsbury road car park but there is no parking on that area of Green Street. This is a busy area of Green Street. The shop may sell a small collection of footwear.

My favourite lower end designer is TFNC and they sell loads of it here a long with gaudy jewellry and playboy undies and stockings. A dress here can be had for less than 20 pounds and look VERY hip.

The actual manger in the store is really hands on and gives you a really honest opinion of what you are buying. There is no pressure sale in the store either. Also they sale one off pieces that are originals, so you won't have the same outfit as anybody else (which I thought was great!). The location is okay. But the parking is a problem and not that great. Had to walk a bit extra.

They are so very helpful, patient and have some really good clothes.

I can't recommend them highly enough in terms of quality, price and customer service.
