RAVE ABOUT... Fashion!

Hello all,

This week has been a stressful one with fundraising, uni. work and an interview (which I will fill you in on later) but for now I have to tell you about a website that I've just discovered. I'm pretty sure this website has been around for a while so if you already knew it then this will all be old news and I'll hang my head in shame. If not, however, then yay for me! The shop I'm talking about is called Electric Gypsy. It's based in a store in Exeter (and has been there since 2004) but you can also check out their pieces online.
They have home made retro clothing, reproduction vintage and genuine vintage and it's all beautiful! What's better than putting on an outfit in the morning and knowing that you will never see anyone else wearing the same thing when you're out and about?

My current favourites are:

This lovely vintage evening dress at £26


... and this 1980s cocktail dress at the more expensive price of £40



If you like the look of these two dresses then go and check out the rest of the clothes (men's and women's) at:

Happy Shopping,

Rave About...FASHION!

Ok then, time for some fashion.
I have shopping on the brain but no pennies to spend. Instead I thought I would recommend some goodies for you to treat yourself to!

First up I found this over the shoulder bag from Weird Fish (online at http://www.weirdfish.co.uk/)
Lots of space for books, paper, pens etc so great for Uni students. I particularly love the seahorse 'S' - really cute. It's priced at £25 and it's good quality so unlike your Primark 'bargains' it won't fall apart in a month!!

My second recommendation comes in the form of these adorable heels from Miss Selfridge...


They retail at £35 but the nude colour is really big at the moment and, come summer, I bet these yummy heels will still draw compliments! Additionally, Miss Selfridge usually have a good student discount so yay for that!

Speaking of summer, my final fashion must-have is a dress that will be perfect when the sun comes out.
I am a little bit in love with this dress from BooHoo (Online at http://www.boohoo.com/) and when I have some money I'll be snapping it up...



This polka dot beauty is only £20 and comes in sizes 10-16.
Bless BooHoo for their treasure trove of fashion.

Anyway, that's all for February's fashion but I'll give you another update on bargain buys in March.
Happy shopping.
