Trikki - Brick Lane, London (cont)
Continuation from the post before about Brick Lane. I was drawn into a modern looking, black-fronted shop - the contemporary, uniquely displayed t-shirts caught my eye immediately.
Trikki
The over-sized tee's are to me, perfect. The designs, centered on t-shirts expressing a minimalist approach are spot on for today's trend and market.
Instantaneously I went for the flock type designed t-shirt, as I love monochrome! Although there is a vast variety to choose from, I just couldn't leave Brick Lane without it.
Designed in London, Crafted in Portugal
Definitely one of my best buys for the year.

Recent purchases SS/AW
Hey, just a quick update on some recent purchases.
I really needed some casual shoes, absolutely vital to capsule wardrobe I'm building (near to completion). If you're building on a budget, but still want brands in you wardrobe then i highly suggest prioritising and sacrificing on what you really need.
My new 'All Star Danity' Converse. I NEEDED a fresh pair if I'm honest and I thought why not go for a flatter style; ultimately keeping my look more feminine.
They were pretty hard to find but -
You can purchase them HERE
I LOVED these as soon as I saw them! Cheap little Converse spin off's from H&M - usually I wouldn't buy something that would have anyone asking "are they real" but hey. I was caught by the off-white faux leather front and laces (can't really be seen in picture), they're more of a cream colour which sits better with black leather. These were a cool £15, although I pondered because I wanted black Converse, these sit well with my bank account and more importantly my AUTUMN/WINTER wardrobe.
SO finally! The famous craze; Juju Jelly's!
I have a lack of patience's when it comes to waiting to purchase clothes/accessories that I want urgently these days, so when black, low heel Juju's were sold out EVERYWHERE! I was pretty upset. When they finally came back into stock on ASOS, I jumped at the chance and copped them for £20! (free delivery too, thanks to my beloved ASOS)
Happy browsing and shopping bloggers!x

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 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.
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.
