Brick Lane Market and Shoreditch

A few weeks ago, I visited Shoreditch and Brick Lane market. People say London is very glam and have a fantasy about London. I think London is great but sometimes you have to look really closely to appreciate the stuff. I guess for someone who lives here - obviously it is not as exciting as visiting a new city, but nonetheless I think only certain areas of London are exciting (whilst some are utterly crap!) It was a wonderful day to be out and I had a great time - spent some quality me time ;)

Here are a few shots from a market - 

So cute all these hair accessories 

This is a shop called Shelf which has wonderful things - stationery and decorative pieces. I got a set of postcards from here :)

I wish I had money to pick up this owl family

Then I visited the first vintage shop on Brick Lane believe it or not; I got chatting to the owner and asked if I could take some photos for my blog and she told me about how she started working there when she was very young helping out at well - the first vintage shop in Brick Lane! 

'The Shop' has a beautiful selection of clothes, scarves and lovely jewellery along with stitching patterns, buttons and even fabric.

More shots from around and about Brick Lane: 

This was an awesome toy shop but sadly couldn't afford anything!

Things I bought: some dangly earrings, a vintage mirror and postcards although of course I wish I had more money to buy all the things I liked!
