My perpetual tour of 'girly shops' continues…read more Initially the emphasis was on fun and funky accessories in this shop but now, as well as the handbags and jewellery they have a selection of glamorous and glitzy clothes too. Basically it does what it says on the tin! The goods are laid in out by colour, which I like, the emphasis being on colourful tops studded with the ubiquitous sequin and sexy dresses. You know what I'm trying to say. Hopefully. For such unusual clothes, prices are very reasonable starting at around £20 with regular sales.

I didn't even realise Vero Moda had its own shops until this one appeared in Silverburn! I had seen…read morethe concessions in other stores but never a free standing store before. I don't think the way this store is furnished represents the stock well. Everything is very dark and basic and you could be forgiven for thinking that the stock is going to be like that as well. Even the Vero Moda logo is kind of boring. However if you venture inside you'll find some very cute and feminine dresses as well as some great casual tops for layering. The prices are fair for the quality of clothing you are getting and I think Vero Moda, like H&M and Zara is a great reminder that it isn't only the British that do high street retailing incredibly well!

I had never paid much attention to Vero Moda stores in other locations such as Sauchiehall Street…read moreand even Dublin as they always seemed a little unwelcoming somehow but this one, located in Silverburn shopping centre, seems much more appealing with it's wide arch doorway and inviting window display. Black and classy, it remains open and breezy. The layout is ideal for top and dress-spotting - I always see more and more as I wander down the shop until I reach the back which always seems to have something on special offer neatly stacked on a table just before the airy changing rooms (and so it would be rude not to try something on). Despite never having bought something in the city centre branch, I have picked up several things from this one and it is one of my favourite stores in Silverburn. The staff are lovely too always admiring your purchase so you feel tip-top as you leave the store. Good shopping experience all round :)

I completely agree with Eleanor's statement that the dresses are old fashioned. There is no doubt…read morethat many of these are aimed at more mature ladies and this is pretty apparent from a glance at the window display. However, there are also some rather fancy numbers which would be good for more formal do's. Though, like Eleanor I'm pretty small at 5ft 3", hence didn't even attempt to try on their long, flowing cocktail dresses. This is also the reason why I can't comment greatly on customer service. But, when I popped in for a nosey the staff seemed pleasant enough and after a quick greeting and enquiry as to what I had in mind, they happily left me along to have a browse. Potentially this was only because I clearly had no idea or occasion in mind, who knows? Anyway, this is a pleasant enough shop though up my street; I'm sure it's the kind of place that your mum or older aunt might enjoy a look in.

Cuckoo is a very fancy little boutique on Clarkston Road. I popped in here a few years ago when I…read morewas looking for a dress for my School Leavers Dance. This didn't go as well as I'd hoped. After trying on what felt like 100 dresses, I left disheartened as none of them suited me. I actually thought a few looked quite good but the busybody shop assistant assured me that none of them did after humming and hawing and a series of, "yes, that one's not for you..." I can't say it was a very positive shopping experience and definitely not good for my self-confidence. To be fair, I'm only 5ft so very small and I guess I didn't really do any of the dresses justice. I kind of just looked like a little girl who was trying on my mums clothes. I think the dresses here are generally designed for womanly hourglass figures so unless you're Marilyn Monroe, forget it. The dresses are very glamorous to look at but I found some of them were a bit old fashioned and be warned, if you're looking for an ego boost you definitely won't get it here!

Eyecandy is a great little boutique on Clarkston Road, they have outfits which are all very…read morereasonably priced and they also have accessories such as belts and fancy scarves to go with them. The window display is ever changing and everything always looks very sophisticated. The clothes always look great quality and even though the clothes aren't ridiculously expensive, they look like they should cost a lot of money. My aunt has bought a few items from here and I particularly like a couple of scarves she's purchased from Eyecandy. Whenever I have ventured in, I usually have a browse at their costume jewellery, I got my mum a lovely brooch from here a few years ago. They have a good selection and many unusual pieces too. Great little place and the staff are really friendly too I also adore the name!

Another one of these has mysteriously appeared on Argyle Street.

Hoodies, jeans and trainers to appeal to those who like their bass pumping and their pregnancy young. Some nice trainers, but my teens are a bit too distant a memory for me to make this store a regular haunt.

I thought that The United Colours Of Benetton went out of fashion in the mid 90's but this huge…read morebranch bang in the middle of Silverburn indicates that I'm wrong. The bizarre thing about this shop is that it's absolutely huge and the way that the clothes are laid out makes it look even bigger and seemingly empty. Most of the clothes are displayed on the walls but there's not really much going on in the middle of the shop so even if there are a lot of people in it always looks completely void of customers. Benetton is probably best for their jumpers, plain t-shirts and they have a good selection of sports clothing too, particularly womens. So if you're looking for some hot new threads to hit the gym with then you will find a good selection of top quality joggy bottoms and tees here.

It seems that raw controversy doesn't sell jumpers these days, and Benetton have toned down the bloodthirsty advertising and went down the 21st century minimalist route. I'm not sure how well it's worked, as it seems one of Silverburn's quieter shops, but for well made, well cut, but perhaps a bit sterile gear, it's still a safe bet.

But if shopping is your thing, then you're probably going to love The Fashion Place. This is in the newly refurbished part of the departures area near the Beardmore and is actually a pretty large, well-stoked shop. It's not cheap either, so you can expect to find designer brands and slightly hefty prices here. I just popped in for a quick nosey. The store is laid out by brand rather than gender and they stock labels like Superdry, Lacoste, Armani, Boss Orange, Ted Baker and Barbour. They also do shop and collect meaning you can buy your stuff and then pick it up when you return from your trip which I imagine would be quite handy (but delayed gratification is not my kind of thing, so I'd just take it with me.) Worth a look + don't worry about getting pestered by the staff, they barely looked at me.

Fast fashion makes me think of H&M, and that's where I ended up on Friday. I'd had an asos order go…read morebad (read: nothing in the order actually fit) and so I needed a few new dresses without spending a whole lot of cash. I've loved H&M since I moved to the UK and I like that they do affordable fashion pretty well. This store is a decent size and has a good range, with the added bonus that it is pretty tidy too. I found a few dresses I liked and grabbed them without trying them on (change rooms are just too much of an effort for my liking when shopping, all that dressing and undressing). The shop assistant was friendly and helpful and I was quickly out of there. My three purchases - two dresses and a skirt - came to less than £50 which is pretty reasonable, and only one item needs returning for not fitting properly. No big deal though, the other two items are perfect so that's a win for me. While I'm not sure I'd ever head out of my way to go shopping here, I do like it for a quick browse if there's something in particular I'm looking for. I love their basics range and am well chuffed with my black dress I got - a nice sleeve and shape to it, and comfy material. Win.
