Favourite shops, online and off

I thought I'd start a thread where we can list our favourite places to buy simple things or things that should be simple and use it as a sort of reference guide.

My favourites for shoes, are moshulu, a small firm in Devon that make beautiful shoes for British shaped feet, they're a bit expensive, but they last a long time so are worth it. The other place I sometimes get shoes from is Hotter, mostly I get my walking boots from them as their shoes have gone a bit aggy, the boots are good as the womens sizes go up to an 8, they do wide fit too.

One of the shops I sometimes use for clothes is Laganlook.co.uk, mostly for tops as their trousers are about 3 or 4 inches to short for me

If I wanted wool for knitting or anything else I'd go to wool couture, pure wool and lovely colours, although they seem to do more crafty stuff than wool for clothes making, it's expensive, but lovely, another British company.

For bedding I'm a TKMAXXX girl, good quality cotton sheets, pillow slips and duvet covers at bargain prices, I have some pillow slips from them that are 100% cotton with a 500 thread count, they're so soft, they were only £7:99 a pair.

  • I do like Adidas continental for trainers, but they have stopped making Velcro trainers for women. For a good amount of time now I only buy Velcro everyday shoes as I find them more practical. I have to look round where they are selling them as they seem to phase of being sold by manufacturers. I have bought some from Cotton Traders in the past, Fit flop and also John Lewis. Currently I am looking at these-not there but they are on sale elsewhere.

    I buy Adidas leisure wear as I like the 3 stripes and have stuck to Burberry for evening wear for decades. I often end up getting something on sale or eBay If i need it. I have bought jeans from Tommy Hilfiger and I like Ralph Lauren cardigans which I can buy on ebay as well.
