#NicaInspires: Go Behind the Scenes on our First Ever Insta-Walk

We decided to make the most of the summer sunshine and invite a few of our favourite fashion bloggers along to London’s colourful Notting Hill to evoke upon our first ever Insta-Walk. 


Designer Nica Kim was joined by bloggers @rockonholly @beth_norton @tigerlilyblog and @chloeplumstead for a spot of brunch at the trendy Australian inspired FarmGirl Café. 

Situated just off of Portobello road, it’s a hidden gem for anybody wanting to tuck into some healthy yet hearty food, and its quirky décor is right up Nica’s street! 


Notting Hill is one of Nica Kim’s favourite shops in London, so after finishing our delicious brunch and devouring a few coffees for an extra energy boost, she took us on a little tour around her favourite places. 


From gushing over the area’s brightly coloured buildings to taking that compulsory Selfie where the film Notting Hill was shot, it was a fun filled afternoon in the sunshine. 


Each of the bloggers evoked upon the trip with their favourite pieces from our new trendy Style Edit collection, with items such as the monochrome snake mix Tarybackpack and cool Belita clutch. 


We loved discovering some of Nica Kim’s favourite places in Notting Hill but it was definitely thirsty work in the boiling hot sunshine. So, Nica twisted our arm into ending the walk with a drink at one of her favourite Notting Hill watering holes.

In typical Nica style, the traditional pub was filled with quirky twists and even features mini Alice in Wonderland style mini doors separating each of its rooms around the bar. 


You can still follow our day around Notting Hill on #NicaInspires, and shop our new Style Edit collection here. We hope you enjoy our little social tour, and we’d love to hear where your favourite place to spend a Saturday afternoon is? Simply drop us a comment below.

Nica and Dahlia - new best friends!

Here at Nica HQ we have been busy bees launching our amazing new summer collection, and we are proud to say that it is now available for you lovely Nica fans to buy online! Wonder down to www.nica.co.uk to check it out!

Other exciting news to come out of the Nica camp is a new and exciting friendship with Dahlia fashion! For those of you who don’t know about Dahlia, it is a wonderful fashion house based in Notting Hill that specializes in designing and making gorgeous vintage-inspired clothes.  We stumbled across the brand when looking for outfits for our mannequin shoot and instantly fell in love with all their stunning dresses. In pretty prints and classic shapes they looked just wonderful with our bags. So, we got in touch with the Dahlia girls and soon realized that our loyal fans would love each other’s products!  

Nica bags and Dahlia dresses - a match made in heaven!


To kick things off, the lovely Dahlia sales team came to visit Nica HQ and chose a selection of our SS11 collection to stock in their wonderful shop in Fouberts Place, just off Carnaby Street. I then went along to their photoshoot in Shoreditch with a big suitcase of Nica bags, and we did a mini joint photoshoot! It was a great day, and our brands looked fabulous together!

Due to the success of these initial ventures, we have decided to treat our loyal followers with more from Nica and Dahlia! Be sure to follow both brands on Facebook and Twitter to be the first to hear about the exciting things we have planned for you!

Love Nica and Dahlia x
