I ended up in here with a female friend who found the gear i.e. saris and such very pretty.

Until last week I didn't consider myself a nudist but I am a true noodist now! This petite boutique…read moreon the leafy Beech Road area of Chorlton Cum Hardy literally drags you in off the pavement with its eye-catching window display. Whoever designed the window display is an artist as a scarecrow dressed in the most yummy butterfly halter-neck stands in a landscape of flowers. I entered in a trance like state and the lovely assistant Rebecca helpfully talked me through the stock. I loved the fact that they do not buy in bulk and you view each garment as a "piece" rather than simply clothes. Prices are moderate, slightly more than high street chains but you don't mind paying £60 for a unique Nood creation as opposed to £45 for a high street clone. Colours are bright and fabrics are great quality. Recognisable names such as Religion get into bed with new designer wares. This is no run of the mill ladieswear. A new range of gorgeous dove grey vintage inspired oilcloth bags and cute jewellery are also available to compliment your outfit. Open Monday to Saturday from 10.30am -6pm, Nood also opens its doors on a Sunday (12-5pm)- very handy for weekday nine to fivers. So did I buy the butterfly dress? Sadly no as Rebecca explained its lining was shop damaged, however she kindly offered to repair it for me. Lovely attitude, lovely shop. Definately one to seek out..

This longevity is testament to the enduring talent of owner Alison, who has continually offered an eclectic mix of clothes, accessories and shoes from her own portfolio as well as interesting ranges from other designers like Religion, Gash and Get Cutie. It never feels stagnant in here, she keeps it fresh and all the accessories, bags and belts are so different to what you'd find on the high street. What I love most about this store though is it caters for every pocket. You can see why it has such a wide appeal.

My wife and I visited Salford quays outlet shopping centre yesterday 1st December 2023…read more We haven't been there since last year and we were shocked to find how poor the outlet has become Nearly all of the upstairs shops had gone! It was like a ghost town. It was also very cold (no heating) probably couldn't afford to put any on ! We won't be visiting again as they are still charging for parking which seems stupid when it's in such a decline. Something needs to be done quickley or I can see it closing down.

It does have a lot of potential if it had the right stores in there. Its ok for a browse through if youre around the area or in Media City UK though. Its also very easy to get to from the City Centre with a direct tram heading straight towards to Media City UK.

Right at the top of Afflecks Palace is this gem of a boutique…read more It is there Monday to Saturday because it's a wandering pop up boutique so there are various sales in Fallowfield, Didsbury, Chorlton... It offers vintage and one off clothing that's a bit different to the high street so if you don't want to look generic and fancy some quality items, head over here. The dresses are gorgeous and really perfect for the summer, floaty fabrics and funky prints. There's also a customised section of clothing. Everything is reasonably priced and the sales rail is most definitely worth a look - my friend found a stunning red body con dress for a tenner. Bargain. Beautiful jewellery as well. Follow the boutique on Facebook (Wanderland Boutique) for news and deals.

We're talking lovely jackets, shirts, dresses, jeans, shoes and accessories in contemporary and vintage styles and fabrics. I'm probably shooting myself in the foot by letting you in on the secret but the Sale in this Whistles is always fantastic. Whilst the other branches tend to sell out of Sizes 8-12 super quick, this branch usually has at least a couple. To borrow a line from Garbage: "Go baby, go..."

With true outlet prices and a decent selection of styles and sizes, there's plenty to tempt old and new fans alike. The staff here are extraordinarily good, offering honest opinions; amongst the best boutique staff I have ever encountered. Even at the risk of losing a sale, they opined, honestly, that they thought their smallest size too large for me. Then they proceeded to give practical suggestions as to how it could still be a feasible option, given that the design and colour were fabulous. They happily held the dress, for an hour, while I continued my shopping and even offered to call a cab for me, when I was dubious about braving the deluge outside. If I lived closer, I'm sure I'd visit regularly. A true pleasure to shop here!
