Shopping Analysis in Milton Keynes

Hi Folks!

Last weekend, Grace, Aimee and myself went around our favourite shopping destination Milton Keynes. We used to go aaaaall the time and just take silly photos of really ugly outfits in different clothes shops. We would set ourselves tasks like, find an outfit thats shiny and animal print together, or two increda-bright patterns mashed together. They were beautiful. I have tonnes of photos from these days out, if you fancy a laugh let me know and I’ll pop some up here!

So back to this weekend, we decided to go trend spotting. And what delights did we find? Well you are in for a treat! First off, just of fun we had a try on sesh in H&M. Now I didn’t go very adventurous I am afraid to say but Grace and Aimee went all out, mainly in the reduced section, and found these beauties…

Things to note…

1. Incredibly see-through leopard print cropped vest and itchy voile skirt combo, worn by Grace.
2. Pug fugly grey cat print maxi dress with large slit, worn by Aimee.
3. Aimee and Grace’s matching bright orange outfits of craziness.

Next store we ventured into was Debanhams, and who can resist a good wedding hat section? Apparently the trend here was the bigger and fluffier, the better!

Now onto one of our favourite shops for utter tat, and the ultimate copier of all trends: New Look. The first trend that popped right out at us was, weird slogan tee’s. Here are some of our favourites. Note how sad our faces are.. in EVERY photo….

I particularly like the way that the Boom Tshirts spell Moob in the mirror….

No onto our next trend, Ombre. Or, if you know the random hair advert like me, WILD OMBRE!!! Hahaha Thats what I like to call this trend anyhow. So for those of you who don’t know (how couldn’t you?) ombre is basically like dip dye, fading from dark to light etc etc. So here are some of our favourites! The sad faces are back….

One of my particular favourites was a top that had a slogan on it saying WILD, in OMBRE!! NOW THATS WILD OMBRE TO THE MAX! I also like these ombre bra and pants in La senza, sexy!!!

Now onto possibly one of my favourite and most pointless trends ever!!!! The tiny bag. Like a satchel or a handbag…. but tiny…. for like, no reason. HA!

Seriously? Like who would use these? And what would you put in them? My personal favourite was the tiny satchels in bright colours that me and Aimee are holding, from Topshop.

And now, for your viewing pleasure, here is us trying on other random stuff! I did buy that polka dot dress though as I looooved it! One of them is just of my sister trying to do her jacket up and failing, I love it!

Wasn’t that a beautiful insight into our shopping life? Be sure to comment below and let me know what trends you’ve spotted and we’ll make sure to include them next time, complete with sad faces and weird commentaries! I will leave you with this image of me and Grace in her new nightwear! She fancied being a vintage underwear model for the day and so bought some cute vintage style slips and this dashing kimono! Who knows, maybe underwear as outerwear will come back in fashion!

Pictures of grace modelling her new purchases coming soon! Much love!

Old Lady Shopping!

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a lovely Pancake day and Valentines day! I ate sooo many pancakes!

Last weekend me and my girls Grace and Aimee went on a journey to Harpenden! This is out favourite charity shopping location and we usually find plenty of vintage items to quench our bargain thirst!

Harpenden is one of those places where wealthier old people tend to live and retire, so (and it sounds horrible, but) there tends to be some nice old lady items going for sale in charity shops, which makes us happy! But sad for the old ladies!

Caught in the act of buying beautiful goods!

Now, Grace being a photographer, she kindly recorded the day of fun for me, and took some lovely pics of my outfit as we raided Harpenden! The weather was cloudy and looked like it would rain at any moment! This did not deter me from wearing just a jacket! Infact its my favourite leather jacket! Bought from cheap old New Look, it is one of the best purchases from there I have ever made!

I have added my H&M fur stole to the jacket, mainly for warmth but boy does it look good too! The striped skirt and the polka dot tee are both also H&M! Giving me a nice monochrome but patterned look!

Now to add in some colour I have draped an Accessorise green pendant around my neck and added in one of my old lady charity shop bags. It was only 99p!!!

Yeah, so I’m wearing my old faithful boots again! I can’t help it I love them too much! They make my legs look longer! Haha! So all in all its a little bit of a sexy outfit for going around charity shops but ah well! It gives me a bit of a thrill!

Look this letterbox matches my bag!!

So what did I buy from the Charity shops? Well not that much this week, but they sure are pretty, behold!

So I got this beautiful little white granny bag, which has a clasp in the middle and two zip pockets to either side, making it really quite roomy and boxy (which I LOVE). I bought it for £4.99, and for being a white bag, we found it in amazing pearly white condition! The only part that needs a clean is the inside, but not much at all! The other purchase was a lovely burgundy pencil skirt. I tried it on in the shop to test it out and it made my bum look pretty sweet! So I bought it as it was only a fiver! It was an original Hobbs skirt, so good quality stuff too!

So very happy with Harpenden today! Bought some hot stuff and looked hot while doing it ;) Haha I hope anyhow! Have a great evening guys!
