I was looking for something specific, but they didn't have it, so instead I decided to look for nylons, HUZZAH! They had those, and reasonable. Their clothing wasn't the best, but I did find makeup wipes and some other things as well. I was impressed that they carry bras in larger cup sizes.

Not a bad smaller-size shopping centre but very handy if it's raining as it was recently when I was…read morein Dumfries!! It made a useful place to shop and browse without getting soaked. There are several good branches of 'high street' stores in there, like HMV, and some places to have a cup of tea and a snack as well. It's next to the main multi-story car park - again ideal if it's wet!

Theres a pretty good next shop, a surprisingly good poundland (seriously), and a good HMV. Obviously theres a bit more than that, but if you've been to shopping centres in Ayr, and Carlisle and places like it, then the Loreburne centre falls short by quite a bit. You'll need to avoid the Big Issue sellers on your way in as well, none of whom are homeless by the way.

I have a big mixture of jeans in my wardrobe from designer to high street. My oldest pair are 10 years old from Internationale. They cost next to nothing, fit perfectly and wash like a dream! Not all their stuff is like this but it is worth a look. Beware though, you probably have to be under 25 to get away with buying most of their stuff and under 20 to get away with lots of it. One thing I do still go in there for is tights. £2 or £3 and just as good as Marks more expensive pairs.

Usually I would say DP's clothes are reasonable priced, decent quality and great for work, every day wear. They also do nice costume jewellery and accessories and pretty good shoes. However, this store is quite small and doesn't ever seem to have much variety. I would say it is ok if you are looking for a top for work but doesn't offer much else. It is a shame because the Burton's up the stairs seems to have much more stock.
Monsoon sells some of the most beautiful clothes - but you really do have too pay for them. I think…read morethat Monsoon have a really distinct style which I like but understand is not for everyone. Their clothes are of outstanding quality but can sting the pocket a little bit. I don't mind paying for something unique or special but sometimes I wonder how they can justify a £50 price tag on a plain top similar to one being sold for a third of the price across the way in Next. Monsoon is where I would go for a really special outfit - wedding etc. Sale rail is always worth a look.

Moffat Woollen Mill is the popular stop off destination for backpackers and coach holidays. So when…read moreyou're passing through (because that's likely what you'll be doing when visiting here), you'll find it is crammed full of people surveying the good quality kilts. With a tea room, a ton of tartan and an genuine old loom for you to peruse, it is like a blown up concept of Scottish life. It seems to me to be a physical example of the preconception many foreigners may have of Scotland. Countries full of ex pats, generally interested in the history here, would love this place as it hosts a number of family tartans, old crests and harks back to Jacobean times. There's enough shortbread available here to last you a nuclear winter, not to mention a Best of Bagpipes collection playing out from the CD booth. There's also a historial book collection and some stuffed toy highland cows, aww. But there's something earthy and homely about this Woollen Mill that comforts me everytime I visit. Perhaps it's because we came here every year when we went on our annual family road trip in the 90s. Or perhaps it's the relaxed pace of the retired couples who genuinely get so much enjoyment out of the merchandise. Or it could be the lovely, tasty tea room which offers service with a smile, and some damn scrumptious scones. Whatever it is, it has a charm, and with its window into one side of Scottish culture it is surely a crowd pleaser for the tourists.

I did my normal prowling around and didn't find much I was interested in in the make up, but I did find a lovely light weight duster in the clothing racks for $14, Up stairs in Home goods, I found myself a set of Nessie Pins (stick pins that form the Loch Ness Monster) a colouring book and a set of tea tins from the UK. Every thing Was Reasonable and came to under 25 pounds when I checked out. Heck I even picked up a luggage scale so I can pack efficiently!
Good selection of items at reduced prices comparred to RRP…read more Some of the RRP's do seem a bit high in the first place but are probably right for good brands. Love the kitchen and homewares section lots of knives, pans etc at good prices, some good ornaments/fancy goods, clocks etc too. Look looking there in my quest for things shabby chic. They sometimes have a good wee selection of pet items. Not all sizes, but if you can find something in your dogs size etc then they are usually a good price. Ginormous selection of mens clothes and accessories!!! Lots of ladies clothes as well, and often some gorgeous prom/fancy dresses. Not so good if you are plus size though as next to nothing suitable which really lets the store down in that respect. Upstairs has a good selection of toys, especially if you are doing your Christmas shopping. Baby section seems to be going downhill since it moved upstairs, it used to have a great selection of bottles, sterilisers, bedding etc but now that has greatly reduced. Dont like the idea of having it upstairs as any ladies with bigger double buggies may not fit in the tiny lift! Should havew kept the mens stuff upstairs like before, imo. Over all i love TK Maxx and have been able to get some bargains on kids shoes before now especially good brands such as hush puppies school shoes etc. One thing that really really annoys me about TK Maxx though is the stupid price labels! They are rediculously fiddly to remove, as they fall apart in tiny bits. Ok maybe its so people dont swap labels in the shop i dunno, but it was VERY annoying to peel them off when wrapping Christmas presents !! TK MAXX get rid of those bloomin awful price stickers/labels pleaseee!!!
