Outfit of the Day: Camden Locks

Hiya kitty cats, y’alright? Time for another Outfit of the Day I reckon, and this one is a London edition. As y’all know, I recently attended the Cosmopolitan Blog Awards and as I’m not in dowwwn Southhh very often, I thought I’d make the most of it by being a tourist for a couple of days. And of course, I just had to visit my favourite place in area – Camden Town.

Camden probably isn’t for everyone. It’s a bit rough and ready and it’s always busy, but I love it. You’re never short of a few moshers when you visit and that takes me right back to my rock roots! Aside from the bustling atmosphere, I love the huge market atmosphere and the range of items on offer – from trinkets to tasty snacks, they’ve got a bit of everything. However, the thing they’ve got the most of? Clothes!

Although I’d ordinarily prefer to dress a little more quirky on my “holiday” days, with a tiny travel suitcase I had to pack a capsule wardrobe suitable for the chilly weather. For this, I chose a standard pair of black skinnies and some black winter boots, which pretty much go with everything. However, not comfortable on being too plain, I wore this amazing heart print blouse from OASAP – a dead ringer for the Burberry heart print shirt that every front-row celeb and their mum has been wearing this Autumn. Gotta love a good designer dupe.

However, the highlight of this look has to be this bold and beautiful swallow print jumper from Tu @ Sainsburys’. After visiting my local Sainsbury’s for the Tu rebranding and Autumn/Winter collection launch a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been lusting after so many of their pieces and this one is quickly becoming a winter wardrobe staple. So often it’s hard to find knitwear that’s comfortable and fashionable (and quirky enough for camden) but this one ticks all the boxes.

After a couple of laps around the market stalls (and a few quid later on) it was time to catch the train back up Norf, but hey, it was nice to visit the lower end of England for a few days. Although, I gotta say, there’s no place like home.

      Thanks so much, Kelly, what a lovely comment!

      I was actually really good and resisted buying any dresses, although I was a little naughty and bought some jewellery :) x
