There is a pot of gold sequins at the end of every rainbow...


So far my time in New York can be summed up in three words:- memorable, magical and rainy! On average it has rained every three days since i got here. But those of you that know me know that a little rain isn't gonna slow me down! Even flash flood warnings couldn't keep me away from vintage shopping and i can confirm that it was definitely worth it! The girls and i took a little trip to the very trendy Williamsburg where we were able to raid Beacons Closet (the most amazing vintage shop second only to Screaming Mimi's). What did i bag? The most amazing sequin dress and a patent Michael Kors belt. Even more amazing was the price- both the belt and the dress were $18.95 each! (That's £11.17 for you guys back home). If anyone is coming to New York anytime soon this is must on your to do list! i dare you, no, i defy you to go into that store any leave with nothing because i promise you, it cannot be done! Anyway, here is the website so you can have a look for yourself: www.beaconscloset.com


Those of you that can't be bothered to go on the website and trust my judgement, Beacon Closet is at 88 North 11 Street between Berry and Whythe. The nearest Station is Bedford Ave which is on the L line.


Before you make your way to Beacons Closet, be sure to check out the Salvation Army across the road from the station. One of the girls picked up an amazing oatmeal coloured blazer a la Stella McCartney for just $9.99 (£5.88)!


With all these amazing outfits to wear, it looks like im going to have to start finding more events to go to.... Hmmm, that sounds like the start of another blog....
