The Evans store in Elgin is a small store compared to those found in Edinburgh, however I was quite…read moresurprised at the range of stock and sizes that they held. They have a large lingerie section up the back where you can buy nice sets or even some socks. The shoe area is quite small but if you ask for something specific it may be a case that they don't have room on the shop floor and they will get it for you from the stock room. Usually the sale rail there is huge, and there is always a bargain to be had. I was even impressed by the tidiness of it all as usually you go in and it looks like a bomb has hit it at sale times!

My friends and I love to pop in and visit the lovely Elaine and her amazing shop every other week…read moreto see what new stuff is in (or just things we haven't seen before because there's so much goodness). Her prices are fair and she has so much knowledge about the clothes and is also always there for a chat. She remembers her customers and what they like and even though I'm a student, I have bought a lot of things from her as its all amazing quality and there's something special there for everyone.

Imagine The Cave Of Wonders where Aladdin found his lamp, only picture it full of vintage clothes…read moreinstead of gold and vintage handbags instead of lamps, and you've basically stepped into The Closet... And let me be the first to say it: if being in the closet was this good, you'd never be able to get me out of it!! Not only does this place look amazing inside, it's totally stuffed to the gunwales with all kinds of vintage treasures. There's a great range of 50s - 80s shirts, skirts, lingerie and dresses as well as a great selection of jewellery, accessories, shoes, bags, hats and small suitcases to boot. I love that there's lots of lovely home wear sprinkled around the shop - literally everything you see is available for sale which is incredible because often you'll find a lot of amazing stuff in these kinds of shops which are for display purposes only. I know this for fact because I bought a vintage hat box from here which I've been after for the past year but it's been impossible to talk anyone into selling before because they look so great on show! The shop is independent and run by a really lovely woman who sources all the pieces herself, meaning there's no bulk-bought junk to wade through and it's all hand steamed and in great condition. At the moment she's just updated the stock to summer wear and she's got a cheeky little sale rail for those looking to bag a bargain. It's mid priced, but there is defo some beautiful items to invest in. Failing that there's a few wonderful pieces available to rent for occasions so every girl gets the chance to be Cinderella for just one night, which is perfect for those who feel like taking the plunge into the world of vintage will leave then looking like a pumpkin after midnight ;)

I went here to get measured and to pick up two (TWO!) new bras as none of mine seemed to fit…read moreanymore. I knew I was chancing my luck to get an appointment then and there but I was told I could be seen in 20 minutes. A couple of minutes I was whisked into the fitting rooms. As a never nude, I do find the whole bra measuring thing a bit invasive but it is a necessary evil. Much to my surprise, gone are the days of cold hands and measuring tapes, instead you stand in your bra and they can tell by your current fit...i was only 2 cup sizes out. The fitting room has a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. There is a satin robe if you're that way inclined. And the fitter knocks and waits until you say she can come in. Far better than my last measuring experience where the woman just whipped the curtain open, I screamed and I am sure everyone in the fitting rooms saw my goodies. The shame! I had gone in to get a nude bra and a cute bra. Two. Just two. I came out with four. I regret nothing. I will definitely be going back next time I need a good bra!
