Couture is the brainchild of Rachael Corrigan, who only recently relocated her designer boutique…read morefrom Swansea to the quaint corner of High Street Arcade. If you're a Pussy Galore lover, then you'll find Couture is definitely worth a hearty browse of its eclectic kaleidoscope dresses, tops and skirts. Black seems to be the only colour in shortage here. With a Yankee Candle ablaze in the corner and no discernible decor , Couture is one of those boutiques where the clothing rightly takes centre stage. Only the ground floor was available for shopping when I stopped by, and Rachel explained that once the massive delivery of A/W stock arrives, the first floor will open as well (this is where the dressing rooms are hiding). I found a few items that'd suit my small-but-strong frame, but overall, Couture's clothing is a bit ostentatious for my liking, although it's evident the pieces are exquisite and well made. Couture indeed. The shop is tiny (much like the quirky dresses you'll see here), but thankfully you're not overcome with that claustrophobic feeling like when browsing other designer boutiques in the city, thanks to the austere interior and absence of unbounded clothing racks.

I was absolutely amazed by the extensive range and variety of outfits. I came looking for something…read moreto wear for my wedding. Wendy listened to what I had in mind and, without fuss, found dresses and outfits that might suit me. She encouraged me to consider alternatives and was kindly honest about what did (and did not!) work. This is a wonderful place to come if you are looking for something special. I am a very satisfied customer!

Knowing they stock Fenn Wright Mason I headed there to buy a gift for my mum's birthday just after Christmas. The sale was spectacular, I picked up a gorgeous printed dress for under £50 (reduced from over £150) and as a treat for being such a good daughter a Betty Jackson dress for £45. I had to be physically removed from a Nicole Farhi cardigan reduced all the way down to a quarter of it's RRP. One of my favourite shops for miles, the prices are just far too good for designer bargain hunters and the quality isn't compromised. I almost feel a pang of sadness recommending it to you in case you take all the bargains for yourself...

Today at The Loft I had the good fortune to experience the highest ever level of retail therapy…read more The saleswomen who helped me couldn't have been more helpful. I described the cut I was looking for, and lucky for me they had lots of things cut that way. After trying on a lot of tops, dresses and coats, I ended up with the most amazing coat, made in Germany of all cotton. It is quite fashionable and also functional. It was expensive, but worth every penny. I also got wonderful feeling black leggings, a gorgeous dress from France, some very cool reading glasses and stylish and functional fingerless gloves with leather palms. They also have a home furnishing section, as well as a restaurant which I understand has delicious food. What a find !!!!!! This place is retail therapy at its best for someone who wants clothing with panache, somewhat avant grade, and somewhat bohemian. It might be my favorite all time clothing store!

It's also a restaurant with a wall of windows and terrace too!! Best breakfast in England yet!!read more

Some of the tops and dresses have attractive embroidery and bead work and there are several racks of jewellery, scarves, belts and other accessories to add to a coordinated look. A great selection of coats and jackets as well. I was there today and delighted to see many sale items (75% off many things) and many great bargains on offer (I bought a beautiful coat for only £15!!) Helpful pleasant staff too (which always helps in my view)!

Filled with cute floaty dresses, feminine shoes and floral accessories this shop is strictly for girlie girls. With a handful of hippy tossed in with a dollop of trendiness - Pink Lemons stock a variety of brands from French Connection to Numph. My favourite part of the shop is, inevitably, their sales rail which is full of hidden gems at up to 50% off - which is a blessing, as the prices would be out of my budget otherwise.

Apparently they are one of the only shops in Bristol which stocks items from the 'cool' Danish label Numph so if you are a fan, make a beeline for here! It's quite reasonably priced at around £35 for a dressy top. But if you're on a budget, definitely ask when their next sample sale is as its a good way to snap up a bargain. In fact, whenever I have walked past there is always some sort of deal or sale going on.
