USC on Briggate used to be ace, but now I’m all sad as it’s shut down and that’s pants. And so is the new addition in The Core. Or outside of The Core. How exactly does that thing work? Relocated from a larger store to a small one with too many strip lights in it, it sucks a bit. USC White Rose is flying the flag for Leeds then. USC is a fashion store, that essentially caters to both ladies and men’s fashion, and features all of the funky brands in clothing, shoes and accessories. In theory the split is 50⁄50 between the sexes, however this isn’t the case, and like many split sex stores, they favour one or the other, this one favours the fellas. For the boys there are a good selections of denims, housing brands such as G-Star, Diesel, Replay and Levis, and then in addition to this there are the Adidas Originals, Ted Baker, Bench, Fly, Gio-Goi brands in addition to those mentioned, in jackets, t-shirts, tops, trendy knits, footwear, underwear good olé Calvins, messenger bags, wallets, hats, all sorts of trendy type items. For the girls, well the experience isn’t as enjoyable, There are a few handbags dotting around, none of which seem to jump out and grab you, and the variety of denims isn’t particularly special, favouring mainly the skinny jeans no matter which brand you choose, variety doesn’t seem to be a premium here for the girls, as there are only token items, token floaty tops, token casual tops, token plain, token bling, token jackets, it’s all a bit mediocre. Even the footwear is a bit blah, but I guess that’s from a long established history of USC being boy focused. Anyway boys good, girls bad. USC does do student discount, 10% on average and up to 20% in promotion times. Saving graces?

Tonight it’s party night, it’s party night tonight. So to get me in the mood I feel the need for some shopping. Bring it on and why not start in USC. There are two in Leeds, in the city centre and the White Rose. Both of which do a good job. It so happens I’m out wandering in the White Rose Centre so it’s time for some splash the cash fun. What I love about the place is that it stocks several brands that I do seriously love. So it’s shopping light if you were. It also helps that there are a few lookers who work in that store. Can’t hurt to have some eye candy when planning your next wardrobe decision can it?! You’ll find a good selection of Uggs, Diesel and Converse. Just some of my favs to look out for. It’s also great for him too. Really retro and funky and a nice street look without any of the chav elements. Why can’t shopping always be this easy.
