Recent purchases AW '13

I am currently one garment short of completing my capsule wardrobe! 

Also really exited about my new start at college, I've been getting everything from floral dresses to unique stud earrings (needed for busy days that aren't suited for heavy jewellery)

Pretty hard to make out from this picture but this is actually a floral/coral print midi dress from...Next - a pretty (literally) good bargain from a shop I hardly visit. £15 well spent I'd say.

Next to show is a crop top from a new discovery of mine; Illustrated People

I LOVE THIS BRAND.

I decided to refrain from buying crop tops as it is obviously coming to autumn/winter time now, but when seeing the prices in the Illustrated People sale...I was left torn - but not for long as I copped this beauty a day after visiting the site. 

I'll pair this with a plain black pair of high wasted jeans/trousers and gold accessories.

A bit of print hasn't hurt a soul!

Continuing with my new found love of prints. This beautifully printed design tee was found in the male section of River Island (who are of course, on point in all sections of the store)

This is perfect for my style as it gold, mirrored and fronted by my favorite animal.

I brought it in a medium for the over sized fit and tucked in into high wasted shorts on a warm evening.

ACCESSORIES

I spotted this bag especially, in a picture on twitter haha, but its Celine interpretation with gold details won my heart.

Brick Lane - London.

Hey, so I finally got down to making my shopping in London. Obviously enjoyed thoroughly, I spent one of my two days running around Westfield (Stratford, East London)  like a headless chicken splashing on the sales - though all the main shops; River Island, Zara and H&M were hit, my friend and I decided to take a trip to Brick Lane. Described as a gritter area with heap loads of vintage shops, we were intrigued by what bargains we would find.   

Firstly, we discovered (excitedly of course) a row of never-seen-before,small pop up shops. Later finding that this is Shoreditch Boxpark. All owners of pop up shops were friendly and keen to tell us about the brand and how long they has been involved in the Boxpark.

Most definitely worth visiting.

Further down towards Brick Lane, we found the so much talked about vintage shops, Rocket and so on. But what I was really happy to find were the up-and-coming brand's shops. 

Roktic - Brick Lane

Roktic being one of my new found favorites, for unique over-sized tee's and street wear accessories - take a look at their site (linked above) 

Travelling to all corners of Brick Lane, I then stumbled across another sort of shop with another (pair in this case) independent designers. A couple actually, one of them designing the garments for the store and their online store and the other running the shop to a brilliant standard. 

The Lazy Ones

Captured most by the decor and the way the clothes were presented within store - I was able to snap these

& HELLO, THE JEWELLERY! 

Most things sold in store also sold online, take a look (linked above) 

More from my London shopping trip soon,ciao.
