As a fellow young trendy thing :P Ilike to shop at Etam most of there plus range is the same as the smaller range and it\'s cheaper than Evans\' as well.

Oh yeah, I had forgotten about them! I find their stuff doesn\'t last as long though, which is mega annoying, but I agree its good because alot of it is the same as the stuff in the rest of the shop. And Its a little hipper than alot of the Evans stuff. I think Evans have bucked up alot in the past couple of years though. :)

Does anyone have any independantly run local boutiques which are particularly good?

Emma Plus in Brighton is Fantastic!!!!

I found this shop a couple of years ago on the web and haven't looked back.

The stock a great range of smart and casual stuff at reasonable (not cheap) prices. The stuff is fashionable and well made.

I'm a trendy 31 and never leave the shop empty handed. Emma and Jacks run the place and make you feel comfortable and relaxed straight away. It's more like visiting a friend.

It's well worth a trip.
