You need to be a particular kind of shopper to enjoy TK Maxx. One who's prepared to put in a bit of…read moretime and effort, enjoys a rummage and finding hidden gems. I'm one of the laziest shoppers around so I can't say I enjoy going to TK Maxx - I walk in excited and that diminishes within about 30 seconds when I see the racks of picked-through clothes. This TK Maxx is pretty big, split over two levels. I've visited tonnes of times but can't remember ever finding anything for myself here - it seems like the clothes on the women's section are all from the 90s so maybe I'm missing the secret. There is a good range in the homewares section however, and I like how the handbags are presented along a whole wall so it's easy to see what you like. It's worth a visit but you've got to be in the right frame of mind and put in the effort to get the goods. One day that might happen to me.

After a failed attempt at every other store in silver burn I came in looking for what eluded me…read more They didn't have it however I got something else ... Bought it and returned an hour later after noticing a big rip in it I know I should check every inch of items before I purchase but you would think that they wouldn't be putting these items on the rack in the first place! I just hate the idea of constant browsing through tonnes of mismatched garments Place gives me a headache

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.

I miss Benetton's advertising from the 90s. Nothing could make me want a nice cosy jumper more than…read morea billboard depicting a pregnant octogenarian being brutally machine gunned by guerrilla soldiers. 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.

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.

Leaving the experience of shopping at Silverburn aside, this is a pretty decent shop if you're in…read morethe mood for shopping. Was I in the mood for shopping? No, I don't really like clothes shopping. I mean, I love shopping if it involves buying things online and having them delivered to my house. But going out clothes shopping is one of my least favourite activities (the looking, the trying on, the looking, the trying on - I hate all that changing), and it's why I rarely review clothes shops. Anyway, I found myself in need of a new dress for an event on Tuesday night (Yelp's Gallery of Glasgow, ahem). I'd scoured all my usual spots - H&M, Zara, Oasis ... there wasn't much going around that really took my fancy. My last hope was River Island and I was pretty impressed with the range and prices. The change rooms were tidy, clean and had a couch for your shopping partner to wait. There wasn't much of a wait at the checkout and staff were friendly. River Island had definitely gone up a few positions in my favourite shops list after this outing.
