Store Lovin' #5 18 AND EAST

- I haven't done this in a while, probably because I have been trying to not buy things, soo. . that's going well *ahem*

- I've been "tidying" my room. i.e. taking apart my 6 (YES 6!!) wardrobes and sorting out all of my tat! (I'd just like to add that three of my wardrobes actually contain books, as I put all of my books on bookcase-like shelves within my wardrobes, one of them contains make-up/hair/toiletries and only two contain clothes and shoes, it's not THAT ridiculous!!)*

 - during this quest I began to colour co-ordinate my clothes! - blame my mother, she does it! - which made it quite easy to see exactly the sort of clothes I wear on a daily basis! I knew I shopped at the same shops over and over and over (and over and over. . . .) again without even realising.

 - One brand I like, subconsciously, is 18 AND EAST, I don't even intend to buy clothes from them, but, I love them, as do some of the TOWIE stars. If it's good enough for Essex, it's good enough for me! - So I just thought I would share, for those who have never heard of the brand.

- I love the patterns of the cloth, I love the shapes they make.

- One of the dresses I own is actually one of my favourites! - maybe because it was the dress I wore on my first date with the man, maybe because it is a really well made dress, a really well designed dress, comfortable and flattering. Let me tell you, actually I probably don't need to, clothes that do all that are extrememly hard to come by!

- I highly suggest you take a gander at their site, follow them on twitter, and take a peak at their blog, they are getting some pretty good press coverage so they are bound to blow up soon!

- I realise this sounds like I'm trying to advertise them! haha, I'm not I promise, all my own opinions! Perhaps I just write like I'm trying to advertise everything!

 * I'm making excuses!


 

4 :2 Some Witchery ( Spell Designs)

- To say I struggle with my personal style is a little bit of an understatement.

- My mother refuses to buy me clothes for birthdays etc because she says I am so hard to understand. This is true, I am.

- I LOVE vintage dresses, I LOVE anything covered in sequins, I LOVE structured blazers, boyfriend fit t-shirts, the colour 'peach' and 'oatmeal' but also anything navy or dove grey. . I LOVE leather boots, I LOVE moccasins, and I love to be covered in as much jangly (is that even a word?!) jewellery as possible. . . .On second thought, I'm pretty easy to understand! I LOVE to be a walking Bazaar.

- My recent love is the company Spell, run by two sisters, I want need everything in their shop. If I had money I would be dangerous.

- My sister is undoubtedly one of my favourite people in the entire world, and I would love to run a company like this with her when she's older and has finished school. (my company would feature more glitter though!) I think this is why I love their story so much! - Working with my sister would be a dream come true.

- Their collections are so inspiring, and I'm in need of creating something similiar for myself and my house (my beautiful NEW house, which  I am moving in to in less than two weeks!!! Goodbye England! - I digress!).
