So I'm here in London, darting all over the place and guess what? I FORGOT to bring a jacket. I'm staying in East London and found an Abbey Lee-esq hippy inspired coat for £10 (about $17?) at my local thrift shop. Needless to say, I wore it straight out the door.
Yesterday was Portobello Road market. Found some bargains:
1. Floor length 70's crochet/wool skirt.
2. Morrocan style turquoise stone and silver cuff.
3. A past season zara leather jacket
Today was Spitalsfield market:
1. All Saints jumpsuit
2. Huge knit black cardigan with oversized hood.
Ended each day at a local pub.
High street shops here don't interest me half as much as street markets do. Now I want to just relax and hang out the rest of the week.
Pics to follow v. soon!
I cannot wait to see your coat Karen! x

ReplyDeleteYay your back in good old LDN, I am kind of upset that it is Bank Holiday today as there was limit on which places I could go to but I ended up going Camden in which I found an amazing charity shop I have never come across before called Traid in which they have their own collection's just like regular labels but instead of buying rich fabrics they alter clothes people have handed in to them which I find totally amazing, I sawthis gorggeous purple boiler suit and was tempted to buy except sadly my purse would not stretch to the amount of money needed. I hope you have a lovely time in LDN anyway- I get a bit hyperactive when I go shopping here!

Was recently (well in Feb) in London and can you believe I didn't go to any street markets??!!! So annoyed at myself. Although we were there for 2 and a half days...and caught up with friends and went to a show and went to the Tate....so can't complain.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy back home :)
I love the Portobello road street market. Great pieces you found. You simply have a knack for weeding through vintage items and finding amazing things. Thanks for the photos and sharing your experience.
