BAAD at The Barras!

I had a Fabulously BAAD Experience!

On a leisurely stroll through the Barras last Sunday I happened upon BAAD.  I'd noticed events on Social network but didn’t know exactly where it was.  On entering I felt as if I'd been transported into an extremely cool, stylish eclectic mix of fashion, food and Knick Knacks from, what seemed like, the present, past and the future.  

I also found one of my favourite Dear Green Coffee Roasters.

In the space there is a variety of independent shops where different independents share space making this a most fashionable co-op space.  There was a very exciting and cosmopolitan vibe about the place and the feeling I had along with the soundtrack reminded me of the Central Market in Florence or a mini version of Chelsea market in down town Manhattan.

I then came across a stall which looked as if, well if I had a man, this would be my port of call for a classy, chic, practical or bespoke gift for him.  See girls not having a ‘bloke’ also saves you money.
