The Rawr Girl's Guide to Bristol!

Tuesday 8 April 2014

I love my city. It's taken me 20-something years to realise it but Bristol is where it's at! It was even voted as the best British city to live in by The Sunday Times. Last month, I was asked to create a city guide to Bristol by Oasis, who have recently opened a shiny new store in The Mall at Cribbs Causeway. I'm definitely proud to be a Bristol fashion blogger, although life here isn't as fast-paced as it is n London, there are still lots of cool places to eat, drink and play.

They also sent me a bundle of beautiful SS14 pieces to style, my favourite being the floral maxi dress I'm wearing above. It has a nice loose fit so if you're in between sizes you could probably size down. I'm obsessed with maxi dresses and I love everything about this one. This season Oasis are really focusing on exquisite prints, flattering feminine shapes and good high street denim! I predict a major spend coming on, I've spent the past 15 minutes swooning over all their new ins.

I had a lot of fun compiling a list of places to eat, drink and play! This post is probably my most personal ever because it's a real insight into what I do in my spare time. I was also interviewed about by the girls at Oasis about Bristol and my individual style. I hope you find the guide interesting if you've never visited before, it's such a great city.

Regular readers will know I'm somewhat of a denim snob, I love my premium denim and usually turn my nose up at high street jeans. That being said, I love the fit of the cherry crops! These black ones are highwaisted (my first ever pair) and feel sooo good on. For £45 they're amazing.

If you're a fellow pinaholic, you can find out what to do in Bristol by checking out this Oasis Pinterest board. My favourite place to eat *may or may not* be the following...

Tasty! I hope you enjoyed this blog post and take a few minutes to read the city guides. My blogtographer and I spent one lovely, sunny weekend taking all of these photographs while walking around the city.

Which outfit is your favourite? Have you visited Bristol before?

  10. The floral print on your Oasis maxi dress is beautiful and I also like the look of the fabric. I love the ruffles on the front of your very pretty Oasis butterfly print camisole! Your Dandelion Lace Shell Top and pink floral scarf are lovely as well. Your city guide looks great, but I have never been to your side of the pond and have never even had a passport. I'm making a mental not however that if I ever do head that way I'll check back here and take notes.

  20. Bristol rules - whenever it gets mention on TV, or you know if you go to a comedy gig or music concert, the star will often say something like 'Hello, Bristol!' – it gets me every time. This results in me being the weirdo that 'woops' my own city ;)
