What a great time to review this place! It's already making me grin ear to ear to mention that the…read moreMid-season 50% off sale has just started and makes the deprived world more closer to happiness! It's giving away all those amazing, smart and sexy work wear for women at half price and all you working ladies who're probably sick of their winter wardrobes by now, go ahead and bask in some change! Besides that, they hav some good and lively collection of upbeat, high street fashion without completely burning your pockets! Yes, I know posh street houses this store, but trust me, it's great! After a great stock of '9 to 5', they're 'after 5' collection has some head-turning wrap dresses and accessories which can make any woman sizzle! Their Spring collection is also very flowery and bright. Go have a look and this one's definitely something alot of women would give the heads up for!

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.

Jam packed with brand new one offs, vintage and handmade items and things you just won't find anywhere else in Manchester this is one of my favourite trawling spots when out looking for a birthday gift or something for the house. The staff are helpful and friendly and will proudly tell you all about their stock and where they got it from. Lovely stuff with tales attached.

It all looked very nice to me…read more The store was typically decorated in that modern retail favourite of lacquered white surfaces and art nouveau cardboard cutouts, the lighting was subtle yet enticing, the staff well dressed and helpful and- I suppose most importantly- the clothing was tasteful and glam. "Nothing wrong here" I thought. "Nah, it's for old people" my girlfriend said. Oasis- nice, tasteful, full of old people (allegedly).

Thinking which of Arndale's stores might have that glam factor about them? Oasis is your guess…read more I've seen dresses there to be full on glamorous; perfect for weddings and ceremonies where dressing up is the thing. Clubbing, sexy dresses might be amiss. Their collection of classy office wear and evening wear is also delightful and my friend has informed me time and again how much she loves slipping into that perfectly stitched pencil skirt of hers. The store is quite airy and not too filled, free spaces always give the mind an illusion that there is room to relax and think. The great part would be the sale section at the back of the store where you can get lucky and find many dresses and blouses for mere £15-20. Always an extra something to make you swell up with content!

Zara is a lovely place to check out, but this one like it has progressed from the last time I…read morevisited 2 months ago but still has some changes that are needed. The ground floor was actually pretty organized this go round but it's really hard to find an employee to assist. One issue is possible because the employees look just like a regular shopper so you are unsure who to ask except the cash register individuals. The escalator going to the second floor was broken, so you will have to walk unless you can get on their elevator. On the second floor they also have self checkout and exchange and return registers. When I was asking an employee a question that was at the exchange/return counter, she was really on edge which I am unsure why. She finally just dismissed me and told me to go to another counter to check out since the self checkout machines cause so many issues. All I needed was an employee code to proceed with taking the locks off. Went up to floor three and the cash register employee that assisted me was so sweet and helpful! Normally I love Zara's for odd and end pieces but this one could work on customer service and working with finding a way to help the layout more shopper friendly.

Knowing the Spanish fashion houses makes beautifully tailored clothes to perfectly fit the European figure, I wouldn't even have to try them on. I'd just stroll over to the cash register, exchange greetings with the assistant and walk out knowing I had some lovely additions to my wardrobe. Sadly, I don't have a body like Penelope Cruz and nothing - I repeat NOTHING - in Zara ever fits me!

Great service and they had my wife's unique size in the two bras I liked. Price was reasonable!read more

Bravissimo is an absolute godsend of a shop for women who - like me - have breasts the size of…read moresmall African countries. Yes, the underwear there may be a little bit more expensive than the stuff you'd get somewhere like Debenhams or Marks and Spencers, but the quality of it is excellent - and I'd much rather pay a little bit extra to ensure that I'm wearing a bra that fits me properly. Most importantly of all though, the underwear it sells is attractive, an attribute which is sorely missing from a lot of larger sized lingerie currently being sold by a lot of other high street retailers. Bravissimo's staff are friendly, knowledgeable and attentive - and even better, they don't appear to suffer from that awful "cold hands" syndrome that many bra fitters appear to have. Often, they can tell what bra size you are just by looking at you, and aren't afraid to use their eyes and hands rather than a tape measure to ensure that you get the best, and most comfortable fit for your shape. The shop also stocks a wide range of attractive and flattering swimwear, and shirts and dresses which promise not to gape in the chest area - a problem that many larger breasted ladies face when they're buying clothing on the high street. All in all, this is a real gem of a lingerie store. I only wish there were more like it!

I trundled onto the Pastiche website so that I could refresh my memory about visiting this little…read moreboutique, and I instantly decided to bump it up a star for the following reason. The model has visible tattoos and a cute little black bob. Okay, so it's very subjective, and perhaps you might think unnecessarily so (my own tattoo usually remains hidden below clothing) but I do like it when clothing lines use more unusual looking models. I think the world needs it. Soapbox moment over, and onto Pastiche, a shop that's morphed ever so slightly over the years from something of a more sophisticated alternative shop to a clothing store offering some unusual and often rather hit and miss party dresses, depending on your taste. I bought a fun fur coat here many moons ago while I was still a Salford student, and I swear, the thing lasted me through my undergraduate years. I could wear a vest under it, walk around in the bleak midwinter and still be toasty. Nowadays the jackets vary from your cropped leather biker that's so popular at the moment, to some beautiful (but not for shrinking violets) military styles. I'll be honest, I really like some of the stuff here. I'm a sucker for their new big and comfy penguin and panda knitted jumpers in adorable pastel colours, and while a few of the dresses may seem somewhat 'tarty' there are many very cute puffball and lace options for those with secret aspirations to be an 80s prom queen (me, me, ME!). Plus, some slebs have been known to wear Pastiche's offerings. Don't be put off by what you see in the window, not everything is butt-skimming short and bright pink. Give it a fair trial, and definitely have a root around in the sale.

The name, the logo font, the clothes in the window - it all spells disaster really, unless they…read morewere being ironic. This store is lacking in any irony though. The clothes are well and truly on the fashion 'pulse' (read: frou-frou structured 80s party frocks in glitzy fabrics) but I have to say that every now and then if you take a closer look you'll find something unique and quirky that you know a Warehouse or Oasis shopper won't be duplicating. Much like ASOS, this store stocks a number of trendy designers that offer items 'in the style of' designer brands the stars wear. My favourites are Lipsy and Siren, but they're so popular that it's hard to find the sizes you want or they're sold out. This leaves you with a 'Pastiche' of poorer options that are over-designed to within an inch of their cheap threads.

They had a small opening event with local bloggers / 'VIPs' but also managed to continue the feeling of a launch through their first day, with some smartly dressed waiters handing out drinks in paper cups while people took their first look at the store. I was also greeted by the friendliest front of house / security I think I've ever met, which was a nice surprise! The items are categorised well and everything feels like it has a place, including shoes upstairs and a beauty / homeware section downstairs with some perfume and candles I can already tell will be a regular feature in any future present buying. Although they seem to specialise in light colours and fabrics, dig around a little and you'll find some beautiful metallics and items more suited to the Manchester weather! If Evelyn's is the most Instagrammable restaurant in the city, & Other Stories is the same for fashion. Excellent natural light and desirable products; hopefully they'll stick around for a while.

It is a big, open shop with lots of white space which has been utilised really well. It is a sibling of the H&M chain but has a more up market feel to it and it slightly more pricey. I wanted to buy everything but showed some restraint, I will definitely be back on pay day!
