CUSTARD

The Art surrounding the area is completely and utterly incredible!

This is COW Vintage - most amazing vintage store I've been in!

Hello lovelies! Its abit picture heavy but I just wanted to take my camera out and take as

many snaps as I could so that's exactly what I did! Today I went to Birmingham...again but I had quite a good, interesting time! So I'm a lover of vintage and creative things especially clothes and in a previous post I have been here and that would be called the Custard Factory! I went last time on a Sunday so a lot of places were closed and there wasn't really a good vibe... From people! So I went today which is a Tuesday and it was amazing! There are so many vintage shops selling clothes, vinyl's and furniture! There's the very infamous COW Vintage which is probably my favourite shop and then there's Urban Village Vintage Store and this sells clothes and vinyl records! There are restaurants, skate shops but the Coolest thing about it is the street art and creative decoration around the area! It's a great place for photography and I used it for that purpose today! There are different characters - by that I mean people's style! The way to describe it is cool! You should definitely go to The Custard Factory if your ever in Birmingham!

REVIEW: ALEXA CHUNG "IT"

Hello Lovelies. My obsession with Alexa Chung is getting way out of hand. Ever since picking this book up in Urban Outfitters has literally changed my life. I don't think I've ever had so much love for a book. First of, even the front cover makes me smile as its so simple yet really effective. For any Fashion lover, or a fan of Alexa herself, this book draws you in and makes you want to read it over and over again. This wonderful pink book has everything from advice from her sixteen year old self, her role models, thoughts and just genuine writings.

This is quite an easy read but a brilliant one for that matter, I've probably most likely read this at least 10 times because its so good! The images are so cool too which is also very engaging as you like to see the meaning behind why that was put there or what happened at the time! Its quite inspiring to see how far she has come from being a sixteen year old and seeing what she does now. I like to relate myself to Alexa Chung, on a much lower scale of course! I highly recommend for you to read 'IT' whether your a reader or not! You will love it!

Love you all

SHEFFIELD

Hello Lovelies

I went to Sheffield! It was actually a rather pleasant day which at some points made me smile very big as a certain shop was found - which I love!

You might spot a little yellow shop which you guessed it! COW Vintage! Its my absolutely favourite! Everything in there I could buy, all the crazy styles and colours I actually like instead of my black white and grey tones!

In case you didn't know this a English Lecture inside a church at Sheffield University!

Can you tell its my favourite?

Absolute Essentials!

Thought this was pretty cool when I saw it!

Another awesome Vintage Store

I just find it completely and totally cool!

During this day, I also ate food but I took it in before the camera came out, so I give you my greatest apologies!

Have you ever been to Sheffield? Did you like it?

Love you all!

DREAMING OF VINTAGE

Hello Lovelies!

You may not have guessed it but this is an OOTD post! "Dreaming of Vintage" - So I went shopping as per usual and I just didn't see anything I liked - at all! It was ridiculous. I have a very particular, peculiar style, one that isn't everybody's cup of tea, its just I cannot afford it!

Im all about that Vintage/Grunge Style and just being different! People don't get it! However Primark today did! Now that is a sentence I never thought would get it BUT I really wanted a vintage style blouse and I found one which im completely in love with!

On Saturday Evening I went for a meal at a place called "The Grill" with some of my best friends for a birthday party/gathering style thing! I decided to wear my new top and this was it!
