I’d heard Bristol’s new shopping centre was good - but when I first went there before Christmas I wasn’t expecting the beautiful shiny shopping paradise that greeted me when I got there! The architecure - considering it’s modern - is elegant and impressive, with a multi-curved roof and plenty of space for fresh air. The shop fronts themselves are sophisticated and inviting, and the Quakers Friars area, which is home to Brasserie Blanc, is a lovely “courtyard” which just makes you wonder what on earth was there before!

Anyway - I divulge. The reason for this post is that it was on my first visit to Cabot Circus that I experienced first hand the joy that is AWear -with clothes that range from fun to formal, and that are all seemingly much better made than across the street in various other highstreet fashion outlets. I particularly fell in love with (but didn’t get) a fabulous purse that was big enough for all the cards and photos you could wish for - whilst still only being £8! Nicer than my accessorize one that was £12, and much nicer than one I found later in UrbanOutfitters for £24. I get the impression their website isn’t as good as their shop - as in, they don’t always have as much good stock available online, but I’m sure they’ll get there!

Awear at Cabot Circus.
