Okay, I'm bored and have nothing to do. So walaa *drumroll* heres a thread to say which shops we love and hate.
Love: Primark, its soo cheap and loads of colourful skinny jeans!
Hollister, It smells really nice and it looks cool. One down side is that you have to be a supermodel to shop in there and in the shop im a large in women clothes. .. Any game shop! Leave me alone, i love my videogames!
WHSmith, its the only bookstore close to me without having to trawl to town.
Hate: Claires, its too girly-trying-to-look-non-girly. John Lewis, Old womans store, I only go in there when im forced to be my auntie.

I like wee independent shops There's loads in Edinburgh - i love going shopping there. There's a shop which seems like it's made for me - it has loads of colourful big/interesting jewellery (i love colourful things and jewellery) ;D I also love Accessorize for jewellery. Claires was my favourite shop for years, but yeah i've grown out of it now. And i love second hand CD shops. And Fopp, i've always liked it better than HMV (not really sure why, maybe because it's cheaper and a bit less mainstream). But i was quite amazed by HMV in Oxford St when i was in London - it's so big And i love David and Golliath in London. And Paperchase (it sells really cool stationery and bags and stuff), there isn't one in Glasgow but there's a Paperchase section in Waterstones and i always get so excited when i find an actual Paperchase shop in another city (I'm so sad, i know ) And Papyrus as well - i don't know if there are any in England but it sells gifts and stuff - it's sort of quirky and there's loads of cool jewellery and funny books and stuff. I can't really think of any shops i hate (probably since i don't go in shops unless i like them ). I can never find anything in John Lewis, i barely ever go there but i remember a couple of times i was looking for something (i can't think what it could have been, maybe black tights or something) and wandering around every floor for ages and not being able to find it anywhere.

Love French Connection, although I can never afford anything unless it's on sale (and they really only have a big sale twice a year). Basics are best from H&M (tights, leggings, tanks, etc...). Although to be honest their collections in the last year or so have been pretty ho hum, or maybe I'm just getting sick of all my clothes being from H&M haha. Home stuff from Anthropologie! SO kitchy and interesting. Often useful, as well, but not always. Their clothes are my style, but definitely WAY overpriced. Not really any stores I hate, per se, but I guess if I'm going to say anything it'll be Urban Outfitters. It's not really my style anymore, but whenever I do go in I'm put off by the horrible quality of the clothes. Which is funny because it's the same company as Anthropologie (which I love)
