Review of Topshop
15 May 08, 10:04
Third best TopShop! 
This is the third TopShop in the country (number one is the massive flagship store in Oxford circus which is AMAZING and number two is the one in Manchester which is brilliant) Anyway, this one is huge with an excellent selection. It does get really busy, but you never have to queue for too long.

Review of John Lewis
01 May 08, 21:58
The best thing is the pick up service
The best thing about this John Lewis is the pick up service where you can shop til your hearts content buy loads of stuff and then hand it all over to collect later in your car - fab! This branch is enormous and very well stocked. The toilets are lovely and clean and you never have to queue. The cafe isn't up to much though, I'd rather eat in one of the many places in Bluewater with a better view where you can watch the world go by.

Review of New Look
21 Apr 08, 21:09
The best New Look in the UK
Okay so I haven't been in all the New Look's in the whole of the UK. But of those I've been in (loads!?) this is the best one. It's is gigantic and in particular it's shoe department is to die for - they do fantastic leather shoes at such a bargain price you can afford to get more than one pair in different colours. I don't agree the shop floor is overcrowed, not in comparision to the one in Brighton for example.

Review of Ben & Jerry's

Phish food icecream - best flavour ever
Ben and Jerry's mantra is "If it's not fun don't do it" couldn't agree more boys! Their Phish Food icecream is what heaven would taste like if you mixed it with marshmallow and added little dark chocolate fishes.

Review of Lakeland
21 Apr 08, 20:59
Something for someone who has everything 
Lakeland has come a long way from the catalogue my Mum used to get when we were kids... What I love about this store is they sell stuff you didn't even know you needed - genius. If you enjoy cooking or cleaning (who enjoys cleaning I hear you guy, my friend Josie is the reply) then this is the shop for you. Amazing gadgets, gizmos and whatsits to make your life easier, cleaner and more sparkley!

Review of Bluewater Shopping Centre
21 Apr 08, 20:56
The largest shopping centre in Europe
Bluewater is amazing, there is no getting away from it. It is designed in the shape of a triangle so in theory you walk less than a traditional straight up and down shopping centre. However, I find this means I come out of a shop and get disoriented and end up walking back the way I have just been - doh, maybe it's just me. When I used to live in Kent it got to the point where I was actually bored of shopping in Bluewater, hard to believe I know. Anyway, I'm back loving it now... absence makes the heart grow stronger.

Review of The White Co
21 Apr 08, 20:50
Wait for the sale 
Yes the white company sells gorgeous linens, towels, dressing gowns and candles.. but I really recommend waiting for the sale. That way you can pick up a gorgeous set of waffle sheets for a more reasonable price than what they cost originally. It is a fabulous shop for a browse and it smells so good.

Review of Mr Pretzels
21 Apr 08, 20:47
Get them while they're hot
If you're lucky Mr Pretzels will be handing out free samples of large warm yummy pretzels covered in crystalised salt when you walk past. The only problem is, you will then be forced to buy one 'cos they taste so good - I guess that's the idea ;-) Watch them make them infront of your eyes and enjoy! Just don't have one two often I'd imagine they're terribly bad for you.
