My first stop was, of course, Forever 21, and blimey it didn’t disappoint. I didn’t realise how much bigger the shop was than the one on Oxford Street and I almost hyperventilated at the prospect of three floors to peruse! After breathing into a paper bag, I had a wander around and chose a few things. I managed to restrain myself from trying on everything I liked the look of, as I’d never have got out of there!
I chose this lovely loose fitting knit top. It’s baggy yet fitted in all the right places and I decided to go for this pretty green colour rather than my typical choice of cream or pink which the top also comes in.
Next I chose this adorable penguin jumper that I just couldn’t resist. It’s a very seasonal jumper that I thought would be perfect to wear at Christmas.
I also got one of their Disney jumpers. It’s a purple jumper with a Cinderella print, which is going to be my Christmas present from my lovely cousin, so technically I don’t know about this one :)
Onto the accessories, I didn’t see any jewellery that caught my eye despite their extensive array. I did however go for this bright pink infinity scarf. I’ve never had an infinity scarf before, but have always loved the look of them. This looks great worn loosely around twice, however it can even be worn three times if it gets really cold.
I also picked up this knit hat. Now I have a bit of a problem with hats, namely that I look ridiculous in 99% of them. However I would like to wear one when it gets colder, so I decided that in this cute one with a bow I look fairly reasonable and for £4.75 it was a bargain :)
Next stop was the clothes show. I have previously been to the vitality show and loved looking around the beauty stalls but I was hoping with the addition of fashion this would be even better, and it was. I really enjoyed looking at the different sections (categorised into, designer, vintage, beauty etc.). Various stalls like Barry M and Rimmel were offering deals on goody bags and products during the day.
I went for a ‘Love Cosmetics’ goody bag, which for £10, included a gorgeous smelling vanilla candle, a set of bubble baths, a face mask, lip balm and body butter.
My cousin and I were disappointed that Nails Inc. didn’t have a stall as I was looking forward to picking up some new polishes. I did however chose two from Barry M, ‘shocking pink’ and ‘lavender hexograms’ which is an amazing glittery purple, perfect for Christmas parties.
There were lots of lovely vintage jewellery stalls, selling my favourite kind of charm necklaces and earrings. I bought these cute flower studs from a shop called ‘Cutiepie’, which had a beautiful stall with the necklaces hanging on a blossom tree and rings stored in teacups :)
Lastly, I visited the ‘Tatty Devine’ stall. I love their kitsch necklaces and on the day they were offering to make name necklaces, which you choose to your own specifications, right there and then. I couldn’t resist and chose a pink ‘Heather’ with a dangling purple heart which I can’t wait to wear.
It was at this point that both my funds and energy had expired and my cousin and I returned home with our goodies!
In other news, you can now buy my favourite basic cleanser, Cetaphil, in Boots hooray. F.Y.I for some reason it’s located next to the allergy tablets!
