I travelled over to East London this morning to get my fringe trimmed, and I came across an amazing shop called Hurwundeki. They sell vintage and new men and women's clothing and their shop is partly underground so it has that Aladdin's cave sort of feel to it. They have little white brick walls and alcoves with racks of vintage stuff.
The clothes are absolutely beautiful but I resisted spending big bucks. They had some vintage Chanel and Prada handbags but they were waaaay outta my price range. I did try on an amazing vintage inspired soft pink jacket which was really nicely cut. It was pretty simple but had quite sparkly cuffs and neckline which made it stand out for me. I did end up spending £4.50 on these frilly lace gloves.
They reminded me of the Karl Lagerfeld Spring 07 glove obsession but they're a bit more lady-like and have a certain dressing up feel to them.
They've got to be the best 80s revival item so far but they also have the added twist of having a quite big frill at the wrist. I figure I'll probably smarten them up with frilly white shirts. I'm still on the search for the perfect black blazer that doesn't make me look boxy and rubbish!
Right, I'm off to go break open my new sewing machine and sew up my boyfriend's trouser pockets as lesson one of many in my plan to become a sewing genius!
