Unfortunately, my desires never went much further than my imagination, meaning all I have left now are what ifs. However, for those of you that are keen skateboarders or into that sort of fashion, Boomerang is a very decent place to go. Stocking the finest in boardwear brands likes Etnies, Billabong and DC, Boomerang more than adequately caters for all the skater boys and girls out there, and at pretty affordable prices too. Some items are a bit pricey, but considering you'll struggle to get a lot of these brands anywhere else (especially in Southport), it's a pretty good deal all the same. The shop is pretty substantially-sized and stocks clothing as well as footwear, meaning it's a very decent source for all your boarding needs.

Similar to the other clothing shops in the precinct, this only stands out because of the lovely…read morestaff, who are always helpful and polite. Same sorts of clothes as everywhere else, and a small shoe and bag section, with some additional accessories near the till. For some reason there always seems to be a lot of mums with pushchairs in here, though I can't quite figure out why. Prices are competitive, quality occasionally questionable, but generally a pretty decent clothes shop.

It is difficult to speak passionately about these ubiquitous stores adjacent, opposite, and above a…read morevery similar store selling very similar merchandise in a vey similar way. However STorm is probably the more famous, more popular store of the bunch. I must say, I preferred the old store near Lewis's, while the stock was similar, the shop was larger and brighter, there was more stuff and more space to look; it was a little decrepit, but it wasn't in St John's which I tend to find dark and claustrophobic Now there is no alternative I shop here. The stock is variable with some obligatory tat but an occassional bargain (as with most of these style stores) and the staff are always on hand and very helpful.

This shop has been around in Chorlton for 13 years now, it sell some interesting and different…read morelabels, most from up and coming new designers and quirky European labels like labels like Ruutsoo. The shop sells clothes for both men and women with most of the pieces being a one off.... so if you like something well enough to pay the rather inflated price, the likely hood is that you will be the only person in Manchester wearing it! The shop is fairly small, but the wide range of stock is neatly placed on east access rails. The only downside is the staff sometimes seem to have been a little distracted when I popped in, I don't know if this is because I am not head-to-toe in designer gear, but I get the feeling it is!

This place is the original TK Maxx before TK Maxx was invented. This shop is on 2 floor and stocks…read moremens, womens and childrens clothing and some accessories. This is a rummage at best items are laid out by type (i.e. trousers, skirts, t-shirts etc) and by size. Yes some items are factory seconds but some aren't and if you find an item you like if there doesn't seem to be anything obviously wrong with it check it. Some imperfect items will have an imperfect label on the price tag but not always. Common flaws on the clothes sold: broken zips missing buttons loose threads seam not stitched pen marks Zips can be mended and if you need a replacement zip then go into one of the charity shops nearby as they stock zips from items that were too worn for sale and these are usually about 10p. Again the same with missing buttons. Loose threads can be cut and missing seams can be stitched. The pen marks is a common one and biro washes out. I managed to get Bench trousers for a fiver and a Ben Sherman top for £1. You have to be patient looking through this store and its always busy. There are a couple of changing rooms but these aren't that big. Word of advice about the jeans they sell, never take it for granted the size it says they are and what they actually are are the same. Some of the jeans they get are mislabeled so try things on or measure them. Staff are friendly and helpful. Brand names I've seen in this store are bench, Ben Sherman, Monsoon, M&S, Primark, TopShop, Levis and Lipsy and there are many more.

The clothing is fairly dressy with some stunning long evening dresses (some brightly coloured) but also some less dressy tops that you could wear in the evening, possibly the day time, depending on your engagement. My favourite find, although I didn't purchase it was a short red dress with a ruffle effect at the top. I was trying to work out where on earth I would wear the dress. I have so many in my wardrobe that I just couldn't possibly, at the minute, justify another buy. So thanks Desire but I need to find a reason for a new purchase, but hope to see you again soon!
