Quite the reward, I thought. This shop has a really traditional feel to it, probably because it's been there for years. You will find everything you need for beginners dance classes or more advanced ones too. The staff are very knowledgeable so will be able to recommend what's best for you or your tots dancing needs. They also have very cute teddies in the window with little dancing outfits on. This would have been perfect for me when I was younger as I think my mum wanted me to do dancing more than I actually wanted to so she could have definitely bribed me with a teddy. Maybe that's why they're there.

This place is a bit like an affordable Cult but a little less predictable, which is always welcomed. Alongside floral print skirts and sparkly tops, girls can also find some vaguely emo jeans in Offbeat, and some monster patterned backpacks. The occasional pair of baggy jeans are on sale from time to time, but at the moment Motel imitation attire is very much in. Guys, similarly, can find a mixture of clothing and shoes in here but the section for men is a bit more scene than what's on offer for the ladies. The staff are really friendly and they do cracking sales pretty much all the time! Offbeat is great for people who want cool, fashionable streetwear but don't want to adhere to one extreme side of the fashion spectrum. It hits a good middle ground and has consequently always come up trumps for me.

When I was about 17, I'd often tentatively visit such non-mainstream shops as this one. Whilst I've…read morenever, ever been anywhere near this "scene", there was always a few bits and bobs I could pick up (almost always t-shirts), with the old version of Cult Clothing being perhaps the best of such stores. Given that I'm currently writing this in tatty old trackies and a t-shirt with more holes than St Andrew's, you can probably guess the utter indifference I have to quirky and offbeat fashions these days without me having to explain it.

It's so wonderful to have such a lovely shop in Cumbernauld as the other shops are very cheap and nasty in general. At the back of the gift shop is a coffee shop / ice cream parlour and this is such a perfect partner for all the lovely gifts and cards. The coffee is real quality and everything is very reasonably priced. The ice cream is yummy too and the staff are always so charming and helpful, especially the tall, dark haired handsome fellow! Marshmallow is simply wonderful.

I've got to say I'm with Emma on this one - I was so surprised at how much I liked Bank…read more Being a mistress of charity and vintage shops, I don't usually go for low-band designers. But some of the clothing they had in here was sweet! I had a wee look at the lovely Lipsy tea dresses and lingered at the Rare ranges. For guys, it was very much a Superdry/Adidas/Firetrap kind of gig but I like that urban, sports but not actually sports look. It's still a bit hip hop, and even as time progresses away form these late 80s fads they are brought back time and again. I have been longing for an Adidas hoodie for ages, but when I was gazingly lovingly at one in here my boyfriend huckled me out the shop. He's not really into trends like that so I run the risk of being disowned. But I'll raise the roof until I get one because I like them! And Bank's sales rack was too good to resist.

There are a lot of brands here, in the sense of brands to be noticed by everyone, and if you're not the type to emblazon brands all over yourself, then a lot of Bank might not be your cup of tea. However, they do stock Lipsy and Rare, both of which do really pretty frocks. I always find something at Lipsy to go partying in. They also have Superdry, which I'm definitely keen on, and Converse, which does the trick every time. Some of the clothes can border on being a bit too pricey, but Bank actually usually have some pretty good sales on, which can result in bargains. I'm always a bit tempted to buy some of the really neon and glitzy Paul's Boutique stuff in here, but just don't know if I'd get away with it. They have men's clothing too, although I can't really comment properly on the merits of the garments, obviously.

After…read moreall I live in Edinburgh, a town not exactly shy of a few pretentious trendies, although in fairness it's either get fashionable or end up hanging around Cockburn Street thinking about black and wondering when Fall out Boy's next album is being released! So with the above in mind (the trendies, not the emos!), I tend to venture outwith the norm when it comes to fashion shopping on the Diesel, Lyle & Scott and Superdry-heavy streets of Edinburgh. And that's where Solo comes in. Short of jumping online, Solo should be any self-respecting man's first fashion port of call in the capital. Stocked with a diverse array of trendy-yet-seldom-seen-on-shelf brands such as Rough Justice, Caliban and Villain, also managing to keep the pricing reasonable compared to the likes of say Harvey Nics or Cruise. Definitely aimed at the smarter-dressed man, the size of the place appeals to the wee pretentious twat in me that appreciates the fact that whatever I buy from here won't be seen on every other Tom, Dick and Harry I pass on South Bridge! And the staff are more chatty and down-to-earth than you would expect from a vendor competing with the likes of the aloof Xile and the aforementioned Harveys, easing the minds of the more self-conscious out there. Solo by name, solo by nature. Worth a shout.
