Advantages: Excellent advice and amazingly quick delivery
Disadvantages: None!

...It is not every day that you can thank a company for helping with such a personal decision such as sunglasses. I have always struggled buying sunglasses and have never found a decent pair that suit me. I dropped the Sunglasses Shop an email asking what sunglasses I could buy that would not only be fashion forward server as a really decent pair of sunglasses for driving. Last year I had laser surgery and really wanted something that will look after my vision and not just be a fashion accessory. In my email I said about the kind of style I like and what they would be used for. I had an idea of budget but asked them not to exclude anything just because of price. They replied to my email within a few hours with several options that they considered suitable with a little note on each pair as to why they selected that particular pair... Read review

Advantages: Spoilt for choice
Disadvantages: Long wait

...For me the sunglasses trend really began last year, and since then they have grown and grown as a must have fashion accessory. Drunk last summer, I remember (in a daze) wondering around Cambs as the England game was displayed on a large screen for the whole of the green to enjoy and trying on a strangers big sunglasses, because obviously if you're going to buy sunglasses in 2006/07 they HAVE to be big. That settled it, whether the ones I tried on were for girls or not, I looked good and what someone else can do I have to do bigger and better - it's just my nature. And so began my search for the perfect sunglasses. I don't think it is fair to say I look up to celebrities and that they are my idols, but there are some things that celebrities do fashion wise that does impact me. That doesn't mean a celebrity is my hero. Obviously... Read review

Advantages: Very fashionable
Disadvantages: Aimed at the very young

...Topshop Topshop is a chain of ladies clothing shops that is part of the Arcadia Group that is also responsible for Burtons, Dorothy Perkins, Miss Selfridge, Evans, Wallis and Outfit stores. The shop is aimed at young and trendy women and is also popular with a lot of stars. Topshop is a very well known store and has been around for a long time, certainly all of my life. Topshop have recently started to stock designer names such as Stella Vine and Kate Moss. Topshop clothes are definatlety aimed at the younger female with designs in the shop very soon after they have been on the catwalk. The store sells standard size clothes (6-16) but also caters for petite, tall and more recently maternity. the also sell shoes, underwear, and acessories such as bags and sunglasses. I shop only occasionally now in Topshop as I often find their tops... Read review

Advantages: Clean & friendly
Disadvantages: not much

...For tourist looking for Lanolin cream this Austraian Speciality, look no further than the duty freee shop after passport control, there is a variety of brands and prices are quite reasonable as well. For fans of Jurlique and Bloom the two well known skincare brand from Australia. My advice is buy at the airport. Not only is it cheaper and tax free and the selection is just as good as any department store. For Jurlique, I recommend the Rose had cream and Lavender Hand cream both smmell divine and price is abot 1/3 of UK price. For regular traveler, I recommend one of their floral water "Travel Blend" it is a blend of Lemon, Bergarmot and Grapefruit and it is very refreshing! Also for fashion lovers, there is a good selection within the duty free for sunglasses, Australian fashion desingers wear including Akira Ishirogawa, Lisa Ho... Read review

Advantages: hundreds of brand names fast delivery.
Disadvantages: too easy to spend money!

...As many 21 year old girls will be I am addicted to fashion. Spending money is the one thing I am really good at and when I first found the cloggs website I just knew it was going to cost me dear. Cloggs website is agreat place to find clothes, shoes and accessories for men, women, girls, boys and infants. they have a wide selection of brand name jeans, t shirts, shoes, sunglasses, swimwear and much much more. Their site is very easy to navigate and their prices are very competetive. I have now purchased seven items from them including a pair of Ben Sherman jeans at £23 cheaper than I could find them any where else, a pair of very smart Versace sunglasses for £99.99 as opposed to the price of £166 in the versace store and a Replay t shirt for under a tenner which is a mega bargain. You can pay via debit or credit card with the site... Read review

Advantages: Central; pedestrianised; some interesting shops
Disadvantages: Not a great deal of choice; slightly tacky in places

...Carnaby Street isn't quite what it was, but let's face it, what is? Conveniently located just off Oxford and Regent Streets, it's a slightly peculiar, pedestrianised road, surrounded by hyper-trendy offices, with the heart of Soho to the East and theatreland to the South. Carnaby Street today is a mix of specialist retailers, such as Soccer scene, fashionable chains (Muji, Storm) and faintly tacky, Oxford Street style shops which sell shoes, trinkets, sunglasses, flags, that sort of thing. So if you're either a tourist or a more-money-than-sense trend junkie, you may well be able to satisfy your tastes. However, there are a select few shops, including a sports shop the name of which escapes me, which sell their regular range plus a few special editions and eccentricities which you may not be able to find elsewhere. There's also... Read review

Advantages: excellant night life, friendly, good facilities, small
Disadvantages: ?!? Its not Cambridge or Oxford!!

...Bournemouth university is not overly well known. Bournemouth as a place has always been renouned for old people rather than student types but in the last few years it has got more and more fashionable and an excellant place for pubbing, clubbing and I suppose a bit of studying.... If you are trying to decide about Bournemouth make sure you knwo how well your course is credited with the relevant industry. My degree, for example, is advertising & one of the best courses in the country with competition for the course being high - however, some courses are not so good and should probably be avoided in favour of a better university - Main tip - Bournemouth is only good if the industry recognises it as good. Go for it for Media, business and Hospitality. Avoid it for Law, Finance and Language (there are better ones out there!!) In terms... Read review

Advantages: reasonable prices
Disadvantages: none

...doing so. Hair accessories range form approximately £3 - 10 and sunglasses from £10 - £20. Handbags designed in the most up to date styles are on sale and start at £7. Staff are nearly always female and are very pleasant and helpful. Refund policy is goods must be returned with a valid receipt and unsoiled in order to receive a full cash refund. The store reserves the right to refuse a refund on the grounds that clothes were not damged when they were sold and also resevre the right to refund with a credit slip. Warehouse most suits me when there are sales on. The smaller braches even have sales every season and you can find tops and skirts starting at £5 which are not totally out of fashion. Warehouse is very good for buying basics like plain T-Shirts or skirts, ideal for the summer season which is coming soon. So get down to you local... Read review

Advantages: Good fashionable clothes
Disadvantages: Prices!!!

...old girl. Those shoes cost around £25, again too expensive for what they are. Tammy Girl sell a wide range of acessories and bags etc. Etam is the more larger part of the shop and they sell many more clothes. The styles of clothing there are fashionable and most of the clothes are smart looking and tendy. The tops are around £15 and the trousers are around £30 so still to pricey really. The sizes in Etam are from a size 8 to a size 18 I think, so that is good and lots of people are given the chance to look great. They sell shoes but I'm not sure at what price they sell for but I have seen bags being sold for about £10 and they sell sunglasses and things like that. I would say that Etam is quite a good shop but if I was to shop in there it would be after they have brought down the prices.... Read review

Advantages: Cheap clothing, Barginsm latest fashions
Disadvantages: Not always great quality, shops are bit crowded

...layout, while and having many different clothes. You can buy almost everything that is in fashion there for women, from formal party outfits to casual jeans. There are few different ‘divisions’ within the one shop. It caters for the younger ‘teenie boppers’ from 8-15 the older teenagers and ages above. However, don’t let the shop that is frequently filled with tweenagers put you off for entering. New Look is fantastic for finding bargains. There is almost always a permanent sale on some of the clothes, with great offers such as but 3 for 2, and up to 75% clothes. Although many of the clothing is not of a high quality and some are a bit tacky, if you hunt around you can usually find quit many really nice items. It can be quite good for small gifts such as jewellery, sunglasses, and hair accessories especially... Read review
