Bravissimo is an absolute godsend of a shop for women who - like me - have breasts the size of…read moresmall African countries. Yes, the underwear there may be a little bit more expensive than the stuff you'd get somewhere like Debenhams or Marks and Spencers, but the quality of it is excellent - and I'd much rather pay a little bit extra to ensure that I'm wearing a bra that fits me properly. Most importantly of all though, the underwear it sells is attractive, an attribute which is sorely missing from a lot of larger sized lingerie currently being sold by a lot of other high street retailers. Bravissimo's staff are friendly, knowledgeable and attentive - and even better, they don't appear to suffer from that awful "cold hands" syndrome that many bra fitters appear to have. Often, they can tell what bra size you are just by looking at you, and aren't afraid to use their eyes and hands rather than a tape measure to ensure that you get the best, and most comfortable fit for your shape. The shop also stocks a wide range of attractive and flattering swimwear, and shirts and dresses which promise not to gape in the chest area - a problem that many larger breasted ladies face when they're buying clothing on the high street. All in all, this is a real gem of a lingerie store. I only wish there were more like it!

I love Boux (which my bf pronounces Bowks and now I do too) - have been shopping there, and this…read morebranch in particular, for about 2 years now and really love how affordable yet pretty it is and they have a huge range of styles and options from special occasion to every day. The sales turn up some incredible bargains, it's basically rude not to. Their customer service is always really good as well - on my last visit I took back a bra I had bought some time ago, realised didn't fit but had been delayed taking it back. Was worried I wouldn't be able to do much about it because of the time and the bra having gone in the sale which would have been a real waste because I have two matching items. However, I was helped to find the right size online (as it had sold out in the branch's sale - this was delivered free on Monday after having been ordered on Friday afternoon) and to get a bra extender to make sure it fit. At the same time, I had a super professional super helpful fitting, I think by Laura (or, as Boux likes to call her, "342169") who recommended best styles for my shape and introduced me to a new style of bra which I immediately bought because I love it so much! Incidentally, one of the very nice fitting rooms is fitted out for people with disabilities so even with my crutch and ye olde broken leg it was really easy and comfortable. Good work Boux!

Silk suspenders See through bras…read moreBusty basques Shear babydolls Lace corsets & Whip Me stockings I am of course referring to Agent Provocateur and their eXXpensive but elegant lingerie made from the softest silks, cottons, ribbons and rubber. Alongside eye-masks, handcuffs and nipples tassles, there are also playtime accessories for the boudoir including paddles, crystal whips, latex stockings and venus flytrap playsuits. The latter costs around £150 and looks uncomfortable as hell so if you're thinking of sending me a present, I'll have the Agent Provocateur Maitresse perfume. Gentlemen thinking of buying something special for their mistresses should note, the pale pink bag is a dead give-away. Your divorce papers will be in the post before you have time to apologise to your wife!

Ahhhh, Agent Provocateur. The absolute antithesis of the scratchy lace, static-inducing nylon and…read morepositively red-light-district mesh that lines the shelves at Anne Summers. Where AS seems to think sex is about unskilled innuendo and cheap knickers, AP knows it's about seduction, confidence and quality fabrics. The knickers here are some of the most special knickers you'll find on the high street. And yes, they're a bit pricey for everyday wear, but they are absolutely the ticket for a little bit of bedroom action, and absolutely the best thing for feeling a million dollars. Fashion Friend absolutely swears by her big AP knickers (I think they're the 'Love' full brief £55 for a luscious pair of lacy shorties that make you feel like Marylin Monroe) for feeling sexy and confident, even under her work clothes. AP isn't about dressing as a saucy soldier and flashing your nylon gusset, it's about feeling like a woman, and being all the sexier for it. As well as an awesome range of naughty and nice pants, AP ramps up the raunch with a fantabulous range of stockings, including the Europa hold up in a variety of colours (bagsy blue!) for £18, and the positively heart-attack-inducing latex stockings for £75. The former, you can wear to the office or on a night out with the ladies. The latter, well if latex is your thing and you've got the pins, go for it. They actually manage to come off classy! An array of toys and accessories will dazzle you with crystal whips, and make you giggle with heart-shaped nipple tassels. There's something for everyone who wants a bit of fun in the bedroom, with a classy twist. The playsuits, as mentioned by Sarah-Jane, are a bit scary for a prude like myself. They're a confection of straps and nipple tassels, none of the Anne Summers euphemisms, they are unashamedly about shagging. And the bedroom's not just for love, it's also for sleep, so relax in the luxurious Desiree PJs (£245) or slip on a kimono (£450). You'll feel like a million dollars, especially if you use the amazing Maitresse body cream; smells divine and keeps your skin incredibly soft, because as much as AP is about dressing up all sexy-like, they know that there's one thing that's really hot: a woman who feels good in her own skin.

G-Star Raw recently moved into a new location into the Manchester Arndale, the new location is…read morestill quite small, yet being long and narrow, but maybe slightly bigger than their old store, with this one being located fairly close to Pandora, Lindt, Starbucks and Lush in the Manchester Arndale. The store does stand out, it seems quite bright and welcoming with the signage and look, however this isn't the feeling I got throughout the rest of the store. I hate to be rude, but the staff here were probably the least welcoming I've seen in the store, and I'm sure as a City fan I'd be welcomed at Old Trafford in a better fashion when I was here, I was basically just started at with no members of staff offering to help, despite knowing I was there and the staff members were doing virtually nothing. The range was quite poor, and some of the clothes I'd actually struggle to cause fashion and in all honestly, I couldn't believe some of the products were actually in the mens section, G Star-Raw is quite a big brand, with flagship stores all over the world, with three in the UK including locations at Cardiff, London and Edinburgh. I've never visited any other stores, but their seems to be an immense difference between this branch and what I am aware of in the likes of Oxford Street in London and Prague, and despite being a new store this branch still feels poor and left behind, in terms of the overall store feel and then the fashion on offer, while also considering the terrible service I sadly feel this store deserves a single one star.

For those that haven't seen it yet - and you really should! - I'm talking about indigo jeans, tight vests, rock and roll style tees, well fitted denim jackets, stylish leather jacket and motorcycle boots. It's a timeless look that people tend to love or hate. Personally, I agree with Rusty James: 'Hey, my brother is the coolest.'

Would not recommend this site at all for ordering clothes. I am glad they have free returns but…read morehonestly such a disappointing experience. Ordered 15+ items for $200. Sounds like a bargain right? Well in life you get what you paid for: my clothes felt like trash. The fit was sooo awkward and as I went through trying each item with the flimsy cheap material it was made of, I grew more and more sad. I'm all for trendy clothes, but pay a little bit more but not only was the material bad, the fit was absolutely terrible. Also they own Nasty Gal, so I won't even bother trying to shop from there!

On the website, it said to contact customer service via iMessage, Instagram DM, or Facebook DM (which is weird). I contacted them in all 3 of those ways and only ever got an AI bot response saying somebody would contact me. Nobody ever did (that was over a month ago). I figured it was a fluke, one-time mistake, but when my second order arrived it was ALSO a completely different order (it was boohoo men's items). Again, I contacted customer service in the 3 ways listed on the website and never received a response. I disputed the charges on PayPal and eventually got most of my money back from PayPal, but I had to pay for the return shipping for both packages (even though it wasn't my fault they sent me the incorrect order TWICE). I'll never order from them again.

Soi 77 brands itself as a streetwear boutique, which is a good way of describing this little gem…read more Although I'm glad Exit is in excellent shopping proximity, stores like Freespirit and Route One closing have made me sad. Soi 77 makes me happy again, it's been around for a couple of years now and it presents itself to be a good and dare I say, trendy addition to Huddersfield, especially when you consider the amount of businesses that have shut in this large and lovely town lately. It's a small shop, but it crafts itself well, making use of all the space it has to offer, you can make purchase of coats, jackets, t-shirts, tops, jeans, sneakers, belts, belt buckles, backpacks and even the occasional piece of artwork. Covering brands such as Nike 6.0, Trainerspotter, Etines, Levis, Zoo York, Analog, Carhart and Addict, there's always something practical and brightly coloured in Soi 77. The owner is always here, and he's super nice and friendly and helpful, he also has the heads up on all future stock, being the owner and all, and if you can't get something in his store he's happy to direct in the way of others. My favourite department of Soi 77 is the belt buckle display in the front window!!! It's ever changing and it's shiny and it's awesome!!! I love it, they're also some of the most inexpensive belts and buckles I've seen, with a belt and buckle totalling in at £20. I've paid £10 for the belt alone on prior occasions.

The items are rather expensive, but it is always a bit pricey in these kind of shops. This is one of the two best skate shops in town.
