Everything has quite a bohemian and colourful style to it and some of the fabrics are just beautiful. The prices are pretty reasonable as well. They have some cool accessories as well, the scarves and hats were really cute. If you love Notting Hill and individual, fairly priced and feminine clothes then you'll really enjoy what Maribou has to offer.

Maribou fits perfectly into the Portobello market theme of a slightly bougie "DIY or Die"…read morementality. Everything is brightly colored, bohemian seeming and individually made. The accessories are gorgeous and the scarves have the most amazing patterns. The clothes are all very feminine and provides a great alternative to the other shops in the area. However, I found it a bit overpriced for some of the items. Although the scarves were nice, I found a skirt that was essentially a mangled pair of Gap jeans (inside tag) with brightly colored ruffles attached to create a new hem. Really? If I wanted to do that, I could make that skirt very easily and not have a price tag of 30 GBP. Nice service and nice atmosphere, but I could do with less expensive clothes.

A friend of mine sings praises to this boutique in Clapham and she always wears unusual pieces from…read morethere. So I popped in last week to check them out. Galleria Conti sells gorgeous, wearable clothes from both well known brands like Maxmara Weekend, Farhi and hot fashion pieces from Luella, as well as quirky one offs. Their prices were a pleasant surprise, too. I've picked up a Farhi smock coat which I've been admiring in Selfridges, but at much better price. Alannah Hill and Nicole Miller dresses were to die for. A definite must for that special dress. Shop staff were lovely too, friendly, helpful and bags of style advice if you stuck for ideas. They also have an inhouse professional stylist. I shall be back. Thank you very much.

The prices seem to range from €100- £200 so it's a bit of a splurge for me. I found most of the…read moreclothes to be not worth splurging on (cheesy central), but there were a couple of really cute sweaters calling my name. It's also worth noting that the selection at their actual store is MUCH better than the selection at Harrods.

Bishopsgate is a great mix of styles! The mix of the city, Spitalfields and Bricklane…read more The Bishopsgate arcade buildings are offices to many city firms including RBS. Therefore the shops and restaurants below are often missed. Karen Millen is one of the popular stores along the arcade especially during lunch time whether men are trying to buy something for their partners or women are scouting out a new dress. It is a relatively small shop with a lot of stock crammed in! They always have the latest dress collection and the window often displays their key pieces of the collection. If you genuinely want a dress form Karen Millen I would go to another bigger store because they don't have their full range of stock and tend to have the more business styled clothing rather than their fun more creative collections. The staff are friendly and helpful and if you have a seen one of their dresses in a magazine they will help you locate at other stores of they do not have it!

Some women are just really into designer clothing…read more I walked into Powder with a friend. I have to admit I was somewhat sceptical about this shop. The prices are very high and the clothing only looked normal to me. I saw some Vivenne Westwood dresses, next to names I've never heard of. I took a whiff the Balencia perfume, which was nice enough but not worth the price in my mind! I think If you like designer clothing and are willing to pay hundreds for a dress, have a look at Powder.

Unfortunately, I've never found anything I've even been remotely interested in. Maybe I'm too fussy about clothes, but you'd expect there to be a better selection, and friendlier staff wouldn't go amiss. I sometimes pop in on my way home, just in case they've suddenly got something worth trying on... but I'm always disappointed. You can always rely on the Saturday market to be full of beautiful vintage numbers, and there's always brick lane, bursting to the seams with Vintage shops. Maybe I'm always in La Vie at the wrong time, everyone has bought all the good stuff before me. Then again, maybe not.
