Wouldnt it be lovely to be locked in a dressing room.

Just a little day trip involving vintage, imagination and subcultures. (bit of a giggle to!)
Hippy: A calm cotton dress to go with there outlook and way of being. Skin tone with delicate embroidery. This could be warn with a large cardigan or poncho for warmth on a cool night. Although lots of accessories wont be warn due to the celebration of natural beauty. (Love beads and bangles can be a large exception to this.)

Punk. Expressionist and angry,wearing well known punk stereotypes as tartan trousers and Dr martins.The leather jacket is made punk due to the use of clasps and zips, looking heavy and warn to represent the emotion of 'dont care!'. Warn with more layers of distressed clothing and anarchist symbols.


To be quite honest this look took over itself  due to overwhelming amounts of beautiful clothes and excited for the task of dressing up. But yes like the others it did start with a sub-culture in fact being rock-a-billy. The inspiration for this being the rounded collar and pattern on the jumpsuit, maybe styled with a fur coat an creepers to give the full rock-a-billy look.

The Convenience Store is a shop with exquisite selected items which make up for the small amount of stock (quantity isn't always quality) some of these carefully selected items are by designers such as Gareth Pugh and Ann-sofie Back to name just a few.

Bluebird a perfect shopping experience full of quirky and entertaining pieces.Its possible to spend a lot of money. helped by the restaurant on site giving you time to think of buys you weren't sure about but can easily pop back and get after a well deserved bite. While I'm writing about bluebird its hard not to mention a little bit about Peter Jensen's new collection. I had to borrow this image as soon as I saw it, the fun childish nature of the clothes with the oversized presents has a great Alice and wonderland feel which immediately makes me want to be involved. This range is bound to take off! I feel quite excited!
