Not 21 yet but certainly ready for Forever 21!

Strolling down my beloved Oxford Street, wading through the crowds of eager people, I spotted the unique shop that is Forever 21. 
Having done my research on the two sisters inheriting an international business I was ready for a fresh look on fashion.
Pulling my mum alongside, we marched into the crisp white store full of fashion savey, unique and chic, unusual and different people bustling about. I began my mission!


I have to admit knowing American fashion from my visits to Florida, I was trying not to set any expectations. But whatever I originally thought, I was very wrong! Love was in the air. Nothing was copy cat, the norm or just so so. Everything had a different spin on fashion, chunky but fitting knits with clashing stripes, fringed tassel waistcoats to fit your silhouette and african printed tops duplicated in trousers, skirts and scarves. Hard to imagine I know, and the prices are so affordable, even harder to imagine!


My only purchase after arms full of possible buys and a small budget left after the killer that is oxford high street! I bought the knitted but fitted cardigan, we need practicality but not boring practicality! This sure fit the bill.


I can't believe their is only one in the UK, cry!
