Blinkz

To start the series, Mary visits the wealthy town of Ascot. Its High Street is home to Blinkz, a shop that caters for the fuller-figured woman, owned by size 10 gym fanatic Amanda Collins. Mary is shocked to discover that Amanda's attitude to her plus-size customers leaves a lot to be desired. Blinkz is full of dowdy, baggy, unflattering clothes that most people, whatever their size, wouldn't be seen dead in. As a result nothing is selling and the business is in crisis.

Rumplestiltskin

Three years ago professional stylist Becky Eleazu realised her dream and opened Rumplestiltskin, a hip fashion boutique in an up and coming part of South London but when her boutique failed to attract the stylish locals she asked her partner Max, a personal trainer with no fashion experience, for help. Max has the gift of the gab but when it comes to fashion he's way out of his depth. The shop looks like a youth club and the clothes are way to "street" for the young professionals Becky wants to attract. Right now those shoppers are getting their fashion fix in London's West End and to get them to shop local is going to take a miracle - or some magic - from Mary.

Homeboy and Ju-Ju Revisits

This week Mary visits two shops she helped put on the right track in the last series. Ju-Ju, a Brighton based fashion boutique, owned by Tim Price and Soly Daneshmand, had completely lost its way and was haemorrhaging money. and Doncaster-based shop Homeboy, which she'd renamed Seen as part of her strategy when she first visited last year. The shop had been struggling in the face of stiff competition from a new shopping centre that had opened in the town. But owner Cath Taylor had also lost sight of her customer and was not offering what the 'disciples of Beckham' tribe were after.
