Hi
guys,
I
had a few days off a little while ago, so Charlotte and myself headed to
Islington to hunt for some vintage finds and vinyl. Goodness me, the vintage
boutiques were utterly gorgeous with an array of beautiful, genuine vintage
wonders, but we were stunned out of every shop at the expense! I remember a
time when you would go into one of said shops and walk out with some amazing
pieces, for pennies. Sadly, vintage is so vogue at the moment, the prices have
increased to ridiculous levels. You can still find some great items (and I have
been really lucky to find loads recently), but you have to work for it!
Thankfully
we're girls whom also love to window shop, so even though our purses remained
closed, we still marvelled over what we would buy if we could. We then went
on a vinyl hunt because if you saw my turntable post, you'll know that I am now
a fully fledged turntable nerd, and thus, need to increase my vinyl collection.
We headed to a few charity shops and found some goodies - and I was thrilled to
find some Bowie!
We
also ate loads at Five Guys, drank yummy, fruity drinks at Costa, and even
managed to squeeze in some outfit pics - a very productive day! This Alice
& You dress is a stunner. I spent so many visits on the ASOS website
deciding which dress from the range I wanted. My eyes kept falling on this adorable heart-shaped print dress. With new brands I haven't tried, I tend to size-up through fear of the
dreaded 'independent brand fabric cuts', but they didn't have the next size up.
All was not lost because they did have one single dress left in my "usual"
size so I took a punt and ordered it; I'm happy to say it fits like a dream and
I'm so glad I decided to get it.
Dress:
Alice & You (via ASOS)^

Leggings:

At
first I thought the black and white clash of the dress print and stairs would
be too much, but looking back, there's such an awesome 60's vibe to it (Twiggy, anyone?!) and Charlotte as always, made me look like a rock star.
So cute!
We had to chase a woman down the street to take this picture ;)
It
was a great day and the dress was nothing but comfortable throughout. I will be
purchasing many more Alice & You dresses in the future.
'til
next time.
Love
and hugs,
Isha
