If you're one of the blue-rinsed hair brigade you'll love Bon Marche. It's a ladies clothing store…read moreselling comfortable, cosy, functional items for ladies of a certain age. Your Mum or Gran will probably like this shop. I have occasionally wandered in, out of curiosity, for a look but haven't actually bought anything. Not yet anyway, but it's probably only a matter of time...

This shop is not somewhere I would personally shop, not until I'm in my 50s and looking for an…read moreoutfit, or some accessories for a wedding. They have some lovely outfits here available for that age and style of a woman, and are very good at helping people choose what they need to prepare and dress for the big day - because as we all know, the Mother of the Bride needs to look good too. We went here with my friends' Mum, who was trying to find an outfit for the wedding, and she tried on nearly every bloody outfit in the shop - but the staff had real patience and what seemed a genuine interest in helping her find 'that' outfit. She didn't find the one for her here, but I have to say it's worth a look for women of that age and taste who are looking for an important outfit for a wedding or special event.

I'm a big fan of New Look shops as they offer a great range of clothes, shoes, accessories and bags…read moreat reasonable prices in a good spectrum of sizes. Student discount is available with a valid student card (no matter what your age - there are 'mature' students too!). New Look is definitely one of my favourite clothes shops in Armagh and it won't break the bank as prices, sales and special offers are excellent value.

It is a labyrinth with stairs up and down leading to small interconnected rooms full of delights. They serve good food and wonderful coffee. Now I usually dislike shopping (outside food and drink) but when I'm in a place as wonderful as this it's a different story. It's one of the few places that sells Chanel No 5 perfume - Chanel are careful as to who can trade their merchandise - 100ml £100. It had the remnants of a Black eye Friday sale that included men's shoes. I am fussy about shoes. I like proper soft leather, the touch and the smell - including leather on the soles and heels. Shoes that are strong and clench your feet - shoes that demand enthusiastic brushing and polish or as I was growing up spit and polish. Proper nails in the heels and great stitching are vital too. If it's made in China footwear or India it's not going on my feet. Period. I found a pair that were perfect. Fitted like they were especially made just for me. £200 down to £75 and wonderful and now mine. They will mould to the shape of my feet over time and will be so much better when they do. Old shoes are like old friends - comfortable to be with. These places are from another time and we must support them for as long as we can as to lose them means it feels like we lose a piece of ourselves.
