Brick Lane

Remember when I mentioned that of all the places I've visited in London so far, Covent Garden was one of my favourites? Well, my visit to Brick Lane certainly gave that idea a run for its money! I have wanted to make a trip to Shoreditch, specifically Brick Lane, ever since moving here and reading about this vintage haven on Stolen From Grandma. I hadn't visited sooner as I had been strategically saving my pennies in hope that I would find some gems to start off my summer wardrobe- and I definitely wasn't disappointed! It has been growing increasingly more difficult living on such a limited collection of clothes consisting of what I could fit in my suitcase when I moved over, and what warm winter woolies I picked up when I arrived. I don't like to wear the same thing twice if I can avoid it and I'm starting to run out of different combinations of the pieces I own. That along with the fact that the weather is warming up (spring is upon us - hallelujah!) means that new clothes are at the top of the list. Brick Lane is an absolute treasure trove of vintage boutiques and market stalls. Out of all, Blitz has got to be my pick,  a huge two story warehouse of pre-loved beauties. I could honestly stay in here for hours, sifting through all the floral prints, acid-washed denim and oversize knits. In fact, I almost did, before Jacob made the executive decision to drag me away! Don't worry, I didn't leave empty handed...
