Can I just rave for a moment about Oliver Bonas?

[pandarific]

Just such pretty things. In pretty colours! And modern styles! And nice, good quality fabrics! And a sale which meant I have just spent 200ish quid and bought about 12 things!

I mean, look at this shirt. LOOK HOW PRETTY IT IS. www.oliverbonas.com/fashion/loa-shirt-49052#selection=size:14__366

I know

It's my closest fucking clothes shop, full of wondrous bastardy things

THAT DONT GO UP TO MY SIZE

So I console myself by buying scarves and fucking glasses with copper cunting bottoms

Fuck you Bonas, you lovely shop

Gah how annoying!

And also jewellery. Don't forget the jewellery. SWOON.

Love OB. Especially now that they've stopped making everything about 3 inches too short this season

LOVE their clothes.

Love Oliver bonas too , does anyone know of similar brands ?

How do the sizes come up? I'm a 10 in most shops but an 8 in some, and the T-shirt I'm looking at says 'relaxed fit'. I don't want it to be baggy, do they usually run big or small?

Cinderella I think they come up big. I'm a 12-14 and bought a jumper from there in 'relaxed fit' and the size 10 was bang on

Brilliant, I'll go for the 8, then. Thanks!

Not exactly the same, but a few similar boutiques I personally like are below:

www.nookidesign.com/ - lovely things, very sophisticated -hammered silk cape anyone?
www.feverdesigns.co.uk/ - quite vintage-style
www.joythestore.com/ - stocks some nice small brands, amongst them Louche, which is quite Oliver Bonas-y

It's my favourite! They need a petite range though.

I love it too, might have to have a look at the sale

As for other shops, & Other Stories is fairly similar in style and price.

I think they're lovely too 😊

It's hit and miss though - I bought a lovely wool dress that bobbled like mad on the bum the first time I wore it, but also have a dress and skirt that people comment on (both with pockets!!!). They also do the Korres shower stuff that ds loves in multipacks cheaper than the supermarket.

I love OB too, I'm always surprised that they hardly get a mention round the S&B threads. Every time I go in there I find something I love; their stuff is well-made, quirky enough to be interesting but still really easy to wear.

I find the shop very offputting (too many different things) but searching by size in the sale bit of the website was much better. I agree with needing a petite range, though, if the smallest size is an 8 and they come up big.

There goes €77 I didn't need to spend good job I sent something else back today

Thanks for drawing my attention to it - some nice stuff there! Will check out their autumn range

Just adding a quick punt for Ness - awesome quality for the money. I am after this sweater www.ness.co.uk/rosalie-jumper-slate-rose-thistle-13535

Love their home stuff too! Always my go to for gifts.

Never heard of this shop, but thanks to you OP I found this lovely bag! Yay

Thanks Pand !

Thank god, a bonas appreciation thread! There are always sales around the corner with them.

I find their tops too short in the body, but agree that they are beautiful. A bit like a more colourful version of Cos.

The knitwear is viscose though.
