Review of New Look
13 May 08, 11:18
Welcome to the sauna 
I went in here for the first time at the weekend (on one of the hottest days of the year) and all their air conditioning was broken so it was absolutely boiling. I literally ran in to get some cheap flip flops and then dived out the shop. It was really busy and messy. There weren't enough staff on either. The lady who served me was lovely and obviously really struggling in the heat, but their manager needs to sort the place out. Surely you'd get the air con out as an emergency?? But as with all New Looks, great jewellery, SHOES (!) and underwear. It's not as good as the Northampton shop though which literally has entire warehouse dedicated just to shoes. It's rather wonderful. But it's a good size and on a normal weather day would be worth a visit

Review of Internacionale

My favourite 
Now we're talking.... loads of choice, fantastic value, great shoes, amazing bags and very sexy underwear that won't cost you a fortune. You can get some absolute bargains in the sale (although you do have to rummage a bit). My favourite pair of jeans were £5 from here and I have worn them to death. I got shoes which are great and most of my undies are from this shop. If you've got kids then the upstairs bit has loads of kids stuff and as for the jewellery.... don't get me started. There is so much chunky gorgeous wooden jewellery in there at the moment you won't be able to drag yourself away. The staff always seem quite friendly and they play good music. Just be prepared, the gorgeous girlie skirts and dresses in the shop will make you want to get your legs out... so you may want to get some fake bake at the same time.

Review of George (ASDA)
26 Apr 08, 12:38
Bit unsure... 
I'm still a bit unsure about George at Asda. At times it seems really mumsy and I struggle to find anything I like, or that fits well and isn't designed to cover every lump and bump. Having said that, I know friends who have bought a couple of dresses from here which have been absolutely gorgeous. The price is good so worth a look. This shop always seem really dark and uninviting to me... feels a bit like you've just walked into a cows shed in a way. They could do with brightening it up a little!

Review of Gap
26 Apr 08, 12:31
BIG 
I always think that it's really over priced and never seems to have any originiality. However, this particular shop is a really good size and well presented so you can see things really clearly (plus you won't have to keep wrestling with push chairs!) I don't think I've ever bought anything from here, but if you like your Gap clothing, then this is a good shop to visit...

Review of West One
26 Apr 08, 12:27
Good shoes
This place is great for really cheap stuff, but the quality always seem a bit rubbish.... it's adjacent to the market (I think you'd get much better quality on there). It's great for little tops for summer but for anything else I wouldn't really bother going in. Oh actually, the shoes are quite nice and they're certainly cheap. So may be worth a look for those alone...

Review of Next
26 Apr 08, 12:24
Small but good service
I always find this Next a bit small to be honest... I went in with my friend the other day and we were crammed in for hours. I like the quality of Next stuff a lot, and it's great for suits and smart clothes, but be prepared to wait a while on a busy day. Mind you, they were giving everyone in the queue sweets as an apology last time so their customer service is really good. Amazing underwear and bags...

Review of Topshop
26 Apr 08, 12:10
Great undies - pricey tops
This Topshop is really big so it's good if you want a big selection of clothing. Personally, as much as I love it, I think Topshop is often very over priced a lot of the time but they do really nice underwear, lots of choice and not always knickers that make you feel like if you move too abruptly you'll be sliced in half. They always do good deals on undies (3 for £10 etc). Obviously their jewellery is amazing, I love the Freedom range. If you love Topshop, then you are going to love this one in the centre MK (it's in the newer bit by the way near H&M)

Review of H & M

Amazingly nice underwear
I got the underwear bargain of the century here a few weeks ago.... I got a matching bra and knicker set (which was £75% off) for about £4. They're really nice too! I also bought lots of lovely black undies here the other day which were really good value (you'd pay about £35 for it in Anne Summers). For underwear, it's great. Don't miss the upstairs bit as there's loads up there. You can get some real bargains here. Just generally, this is a really nice shop to go in and good value

Review of Topshop

Great selection
How friendly are the staff!!?? I went in today and one of the staff members Laura was so lovely when my friend and I asked for her help. Really went out of her way. They're not all snooty like in some places. Staff are so pretty though you may leave feeling like you've just been in the company of the Pussycat Dolls - damn them. Oh good lord how I love thee Topshop! I just wish my funds allowed me to shop anywhere other than Primark..... (sigh)
OOH - although one bad thing is my friend was told a cardigan she wanted was the last one they were going to have in so she bought a size too small as she couldn't bear leaving it - a week later, there was another load delivered! So she was annoyed about that....
