Situated within House of Fraser in the middle of Carlisle Town Centre I often find this concession…read morequite small and crowded. The fitting rooms are spacious though and I often find that when I am looking for an outfit for a special occasion I end up here. Frequently I have seen something in a magazine that I would really like and have been really pleased that they had it in the shop. It is quite expensive but I find the clothes to be a little bit different to other shops which is nice as you won't then see everyone wearing the same thing. I particularly love the jumpers and evening wear. Definitely worth a look if you are wanting something expensive looking for a night out.

This shop is quite small and once again I would never attempt to go in here if I had the buggy with me. The range in this shop is fantastic, from headbands to earrings, and necklaces to shoes. They even do a range now which is specifically for younger children and teens but still very trendy. I have never had a problem with the earrings and find that they keep their colour really well even if they have only cost a couple of pounds. They do ear piercing here and although I have never used this service I have heard good reports from friends who have. They also often have some good bargains a lot of the time and it is worth a look on the off chance there is something worth having.
