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.

There's a good range of knitwear, and smarter clothes for the office as well as casual things for home. I always enjoy a look around in here and have bought several garments through the years.

Every woman I have introduced to the NewFlower shop has loved it. As they mostly deal in woman's…read morewear they are in a better position to judge than I am. But I thought it was worth mentioning how much they all loved it. They have a great range of light summery dresses made with beautiful fabrics and patterns. My knowledge of dresses is somewhat limited by they had a huge collection of different styles and lengths. They also had amazing price tags attached, with some reading £10! I actually did wish they had such a great range of men's clothes, but alas we only had a choice of 'comedy' T-shirts that were not almost as classy or elegant as the woman's choices. I honestly believe any woman who had a look at some of the clothes at Newflower would find something they would really love, especially for the summer. They had a beautiful range of mini skirts...I thought about how they would look on me, but I think my bits might be visible, only slightly though. The fashion seems to range from 1930s up to the 1970s and beyond. They also had a good selection of flip flops and sandals.

A boutique clothing store offering a range of designer and less well known brands. The staff are…read moremostly friendly although it seems dependant on whether they like what your wearing or not. They have an instore seamstress who can adjust the length of any jeans you purchase for an additional charge. They have a nice selection of clothing and accessories but only put a handful of smaller sizes out (size 8 or 10) and can bring out larger sizes if requested but for most women I'd imagine this is very off putting and some what embaressing. Prices are a mixture of reasonable and expensive but it is dependant on which brand your looking at. They range from around £100 down to as low as £20.

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...

Wendy listened to what I had in mind and, without fuss, found dresses and outfits that might suit me.

I am a very satisfied customer!
