Best places to shop:

Red Door Gallery
42 Victoria Street, EH1 2JW | www.edinburghart.com
All about the plastic, quirky jewellery, prints, and gifts; which also doubles as an art space.

Dolly Leo
22 Raeburn Place, EH4 1H, Stockbridge | www.dollyleo.co.uk
Stockbridge is a little village in itself, and in it is a glamorous boutique filled with amazing skincare and make-up.

Boudiche
15 Frederick Street, EH2 2EY | www.boudiche.com
There's something about the shop itself that makes you feel a bit naughty. Probably all the corsets and fantasy wear will help.

Cameo Picturehouse
38 Home Street, Tollcross EH3 9LZ | www.picturehouses.co.uk
Cinema is expensive these days, so watch films that you already own on DVD, but in a strange velour environment.
