I bought in a shop in Camden Town, there is a flea market but this shop was a “normal”, there is a second hand. The last time that I was no longer selling the mariachups, mushrooms galaxy (so do not give me time to test) and that everything was black, gothic clothing was not the same. From that time retain a crochet top I bought in Oxford Street shop Jane Norman, it was not cheap, but the following year became fashionable in Mallorca another advantage of buying off comes the clothes before.

Worthy of remark is the purchase I made in Dover, a two-hour fast train from London with a friend. We went to a souvenir shop, she bought a bikini with a sarong and I pajamas that cost me 6 €. There was plenty of clothes on that site, to be a beach shop.

That if, whenever it rains I put on the cardigan, that disaster.
