New Trainers

I have been umming and ahhing about buying a new pair of trainers for quite some time. My last pair were a nice set of ‘Dad Sneakers’ from Zara but they managed to get stained by some rather pretty lilies.

Alas, they have never looked presentable since, so I thought it was about time that I replaced them with some shiny new ones.

I decided to go for the New Balance 452’s in Black & White. They look really cool and totally 90’s and while I feel like they might be a bit of a hassle to keep them looking clean it will be 100% worth it as they pretty much can go with everything.

Mango Autumn Wishlist

Autumn is probably my favourite season for fashion, I love layering, knits, all those earthy tones that match the season and of course the return of most flattering shade black. Mango is such a cool brand and I am loving some of these pieces right now and I am most likely going to make a purchase or two (if I can control myself!).

Thrifting in Brighton

Come join me and my sister Charlotte as we thrift shop in Brighton! We had so much fun sifting through all the weird and wonderful clothes from years gone by and the immense challenge of trying to find treasures and not trash!

Also, check out my dancing...girls got moves...questionable moves but moves nonetheless!

Where we went:

Beyond Retro: Well curated, a little pricey and is basically Urban Outfitters just with Vintage wears. BR is hidden a few streets away from the heart of Brighton's North Laine (which is the Bohemian & Cultural Quarter, so expect cool little indie shops galore). Oh, and the soundtrack in-store is eclectic and amazing.

To Be Worn Again: Smaller than BR but cheaper, however as it is right in the heart of North Laine it gets a little cramped.

Why go Vintage?

Fashion trends don’t last very long but they have a habit of repeating themselves. Right now it’s all about the 90’s aesthetic. So rather than buying something new and cheap that is of rather poor quality, shopping vintage allows you to access trends for less and all the pieces have proved just by their continued existence that they can stand the test of time (and your washing machine). It’s a win for your wallet and a win for the world!

Urban Outfitters Summer Wish List

Urban Outfitters is one of my favourite fashion stores, and I often find myself browsing on the website or around a physical shop for far too long amassing a colossal wish list that would make me literally bankrupt (oh the woes of a student who works in retail, and has a blog thats not popular enough to bankroll my fashion obsession)

So let’s get wishing…
