any fab shops in Bath?

[muddleduck]

Never been before, but DH and I are there next weekend for some very rare child-free time.

I want some elegant work shoes and a stylish mac. And I want to NOT but them online!

it is lovely there are loads of brilliant shops of all kinds very stylish shops too have a brilliant time.

Any particular area to head for?

Of course without having my hand held by the mn fashionistas I will probably come back with hideous tat

If you go to the middle there are lots of lovely shops that are quite unusual there. If you head up towards the fashion museum end there are some brilliant second hand designer shops. Can't remember the road names so not much help but you can't really go that far wrong there. Head up some of the side alleys lovely little unusual places up those

Well the main high street starts in the new Southgate development (bottom of town near the train station) where there's H&M, New Look, All Saints and TopShop but in my opinion Bath shops get better the further up the town you go.

There's all the usual suspects but also a very big Jigsaw a nice White Company and a decent size Cath Kidston.

Also opposite Jollys and near Duo you've got Reiss and Comptoir des Cottoniers. I bought a lovely mac in comptoir recently in their sale.

If you then go to the top of that road and turn right there's a lovely shop called Prey which has some nice things in it. Then go over the crossing and up the little road opposite and you've got Toast and Mee which is a lovely shop selling gorgeous clothes and shoes.

There's also a shop called the Square near the big Gap which is more designery - expensive but the odd nice thing.

Have a lovely time and hope you get some nice stuff.

Oh also take a look around Shires Yard where Jamie Oliver's restaurant is - some nice shops there too.

Also behind Co0mptoir there is Squires Yard which has some lovely posh frock shops and Jamie's Italian if you want to really make a day of it!

ooh. I'm getting really excited now.
