Camden Town

During my recent stay in London, my boyfriend kept nagging me to go to Camden Town. You're thinking "nag"?...why would he have to nag you to go to this amazingly unique shopping destination...Right? Right! Well, you see in my ignorance I was under the impression that Camden Town was only for metal heads seeking heavy metal t-shirts and the like- I don’t wear t-shirts! Yes, they do have this sort of thing too, but unbeknown to me they also have the most amazing selection of vintage clothing. Eventually my boyfriend got his way and we went to Camden Town, but unfortunately we only got around to it the morning of our departure back to South Africa and so we only had two hours to browse this massive market place. Needless to say I ran around like a headless chicken trying to see and buy as much as I could in two hours. Next time I go to London I will give Camden Town the attention it deserves.

My favourite Camden purchase is without a doubt the Boots. They are a mission to lace up...oddly i find this quite therapeutic...I'm strange like that. And again we have the flesh coloured fishnets!

  1. I LOVE those boots! Although I think some mornings I would probably take one look at them and just know I didn't have the energy to bother. They are such a fantastic find! Milo is a cutie - did you name him after Milo & Otis??
