As my friends, family and anyone who sits too close to me on the tube have no doubt heard many times, I love the shop Evolution on Roman Road. There are a few others dotted around the country but this is 5 minutes from where I live so naturally I went there to do some of my Christmas shopping when the idea of getting on a tube to Stratford or in to central was too daunting. I ended up buying stuff for both my sisters, my friend Elle and my friend Simone from there... oh and for myself. OF COURSE. I also got a free £5 gift voucher, swish. Well free as in I spent over £50 free so sort of like a loyalty card.
Why do I like it so much? It's one of those sort of hippy homewares shops but has some really awesome stuff (guitar shaped candles, ying and yang sun catchers, Marilyn Monroe movie poster straw holders, mirrors in the shape of skulls - in fact, just lots of skull things) and the prices are great (I get carried away) and it's ethical.
When I went in there to do my Christmas shop they had a new line in - Dia de los muertos calaveras. Me encantas! I basically bought everything from the range,`including this brooch which I attempted to style with my silk Whistles shirt today....
Now I want to get all of the colours and wear them with everything! NO LUCY. I wear too many skulls....
I have also been enjoying this purple D&G lipstick, shade name 'purple pearl' that I got for £1 at a beauty sale. I don't really know if it suits me but it smells great and has such a lovely texture.
LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteAlso love that purple lipstick, I can't pull off good colours like you can.
How are you at home when it's that light outside? Well jel :P xxx
thanks, don't know about the lippy but it's not like I'm trying to pull anyone at work!
ReplyDeleteHa this is in the morning, I am an early bird and don't start work til half 9! When I get in from work I look like I've gone 10 rounds with Thor! x
Haha of course I forgot about your early bird-ness! Do you still get up at half 6? Noo the lippy is good! Xx
