My daughter loves it & it's a great place to go if you just want some little gifts for someone or even stuff for some girly party bags. They sell a large range of hair accessories to suit every style . Most of the prices are reasonable & they often have offers on such as buy 2 get 1 free. Great for party items as well such as hen parties. The shop itself is quite small & it can be difficult to navigate your way round especially if you have a buggy & I wouldn't imagine that anyone in a wheelchair would be able to access it. Everything is very crammed in & there are bits hanging off shelves. Overall a nice girly shop for some quirky little bits.

A member of my family spent some time here a few years ago and I'll never forget how good the staff were to us. So I always make a special effort to visit their charity shops and donate. Their Cheadle store is a particularly good one, especially if - like me - you're getting married soon. You see, it has a dedicated bridal department, which is packed with big, beautiful white wedding dresses, bridesmaids gowns, suits, veils, tiaras and head dresses. Many of them are new and they're all reasonably priced! Downstairs you'll find standard charity shop fare, although the quality is fairly high in comparison to similar stores. From books and music to bric 'a' brac, accessories and clothes, it's all good. You might even find a vintage piece or a designer label amongst the racks!

Until last week I didn't consider myself a nudist but I am a true noodist now! This petite boutique…read moreon the leafy Beech Road area of Chorlton Cum Hardy literally drags you in off the pavement with its eye-catching window display. Whoever designed the window display is an artist as a scarecrow dressed in the most yummy butterfly halter-neck stands in a landscape of flowers. I entered in a trance like state and the lovely assistant Rebecca helpfully talked me through the stock. I loved the fact that they do not buy in bulk and you view each garment as a "piece" rather than simply clothes. Prices are moderate, slightly more than high street chains but you don't mind paying £60 for a unique Nood creation as opposed to £45 for a high street clone. Colours are bright and fabrics are great quality. Recognisable names such as Religion get into bed with new designer wares. This is no run of the mill ladieswear. A new range of gorgeous dove grey vintage inspired oilcloth bags and cute jewellery are also available to compliment your outfit. Open Monday to Saturday from 10.30am -6pm, Nood also opens its doors on a Sunday (12-5pm)- very handy for weekday nine to fivers. So did I buy the butterfly dress? Sadly no as Rebecca explained its lining was shop damaged, however she kindly offered to repair it for me. Lovely attitude, lovely shop. Definately one to seek out..

This longevity is testament to the enduring talent of owner Alison, who has continually offered an eclectic mix of clothes, accessories and shoes from her own portfolio as well as interesting ranges from other designers like Religion, Gash and Get Cutie. It never feels stagnant in here, she keeps it fresh and all the accessories, bags and belts are so different to what you'd find on the high street. What I love most about this store though is it caters for every pocket. You can see why it has such a wide appeal.
