I was lucky enough to be given an Ollie and Nic bag as a present a few years ago by a very nice American friend, not that being American has anything to do with it really, I’m just trying to build up a bit of a picture for you… Until i moved to Bristol I hadn’t ever found a solely Ollie & Nic shop, I’d only ever seen it as concessions within other shops. It just opposite H&M /Topshop, and they always seem to have quite a good window display. The shop itself is quite small, and it’s packed solid with all shapes, sizes and colours of bags, purses and general accessories, I sometimes get the feeling that I can’t see for looking in here, and they might sell more if they took 10% out. Some of the stock I really like, some of it I don’t, it’s nice that it’s maintain quite a local almost one off feel even though it’s a well known brand.

Maybe it’s down to having a short attention span, but I can’t walk past Ollie and Nic’s glittery shiny window display without walking in. I love browsing through their ever-changing collections, holding necklaces up to my collar and mentally playing a game of «when payday comes I will buy…» Apart from jewellery they pander to all girlie soft spots: make up bags, mirrors, handbags and hair accessories. It’s at the high-end of the price range for a high-street store, but worth it when you find a piece you fall in love with. It’s always a joy to window shop here — the bright, airy and colourful store gives me a lift just by walking through the doors. They often have sales but they tend to be on the extremely expensive stuff, so it’s still unobtainable. But there is the odd gem to be had as long as you keep your eyes peeled and pop by regularly.

I hadn’t heard of this young brand before they headed into Bristol just on the outskirts of the Cabot Circus row of shops. It has some gorgeous accessories — bags, scarfs and jewellery. They started in Carnaby and Brighton which should give you an idea of the style perhaps — young but quality. Prices are quite high, but not unreasonable, and they have lots of mini sales on so good to keep popping in to see what they are up to. I love the layout, its all very pretty and lots to look at even though its only a weeny shop.
