"Being a woman is a terribly difficult trade as it consists principally of dealing with men."

I'm in one of those horrendous moods where not even online shopping could cheer me up.  The worst part is, that I can't even blame my mood on someone else...it's all my own fault.  I've let myself get into a crappy mood over a BOY!  I also use the term 'boy' strongly because despite being 21, he's nowhere near deserving the 'Man' status.  Now, my blog is about fashion and I'm not about to turn this into some relationship themed post, however I just needed to vent my anger.
The male species is my least favourite thing at the moment and I even turned down a night out tonight due to feeling so rubbish.  So, in order to cheer myself up I'm going to tell you all about this fabulous vintage shop that has recently opened around the corner from my flat.  Yes, that's right... I am lucky enough to have a vintage store 5 minutes from where I live.  In fact, tomorrow I intend on going to spend money I don't have in there to cheer myself up :)

It's called Berkin's Wonder Emporium and the quaint store is deceptively large. Whilst it is rather narrow, it is very long and the 3 girls who run it have managed to pack in so much stock to such a restricted space.

    
The whole experience of walking around the store was so enjoyable.  It's so peaceful and relaxing to browse all the beautiful vintage clothes, bags and shoes.  I've always been a fan of vintage stores but it's so hard to find one that actually has things that you would wear.  Usually, I peruse vintage stores just for the enjoyment I get from it but here, I liked so much of the stuff I was shocked.

I bought 2 items.

This gorgeous black leather clutch.  It's so dainty and delicate, I feel like Audrey Hepburn with it slung over my shoulder. 

Also, these figure hugging, high waisted denim shorts. They are the softest denim I've ever felt and they fit so perfectly, it's impossible not to feel amazing in them.

So there you have it.  My first vintage purchases of my life.  

If you live in the Cheshire area, I strongly recommend going to check out Berkin's Wonder Emporium... it's a dream come true for any lovers of fashion.

Hot and dangerous, if you're one of us then roll with us...

I'm alive. Just incase any of you thought otherwise.  I suppose I became a bit complacent with my blog and I do apologise.  In my defence, I've just got a new job so I've been burning the candle at both ends so to speak... and now I've been ill for the past 3 weeks.  Also, I have a month to complete 13 assignments before my A-Level exams.
Anyway, no more excuses. I'm back now and I genuinely do have LOADS of stuff to write about.  Today is only a quickie, as I'm off out tonight with my 2 gorgeous friends and I need to go and make myself look beautiful...

Remember my previous blog about how Next had suddenly gotten fashionable again?  Well, I must admit that I spoke a bit too soon... it veered downhill again a month or so back.  I was so disappointed because I had such high hopes.  It pleases me when I find things in Next that I like as their clothes are so well made and their prices are reasonable too.
However, it's back in my good books as of today.  I had a quick snoop around Next today and look what I bought:

I have been dying for a pair of heels like this for ages now and I found them for a mere £25... even better I got 10% off as there was an ever so slight mark on the platform.
:) great success.

I'll write again soon :)

Pour Maintenant, Au Revoir,
