Quaint Card Shops in Hertford

I live in Hertfordshire and the town of Hertford is adorable. My parents took me for lunch at Pizza Express and while we were there, I popped into a few little card shops quickly. A lot of the shop fronts in Hertford are classic and look a bit like they belong in Diagon Alley. It's really quite cute.

Another was called The Decorated Room;

 

Basically I wish I could just spend my money in little adorable shops.

Cosmopolitan Girl

As I sit on a train, donned in my leather jacket, pale blue peplum lace blouse, black jeans and flip flops, I think about how I love London and how the show I just saw was fantastic. I just went to see Spamelot and it was honestly so ridiculously funny. At points I was hysteric. While in town I also went shopping, I couldn't resist;

It so perfectly sums me up: a little globe trotter. I also bought some frilly socks and sports bra but nothing exciting except Models Own Scented Apple Pie

Perfect pastel ey? After a long day at school(9:15-12.50) a little shop was just what I needed ;) I love my cosmopolitan life!! Where are your favourite places to shop?

Small Haul

I went on a quick shop so here are some of my purchases;

These ballet pumps with an ankle strap were £8 from Primark. They're really comfortable and I thought they'd be great with a tea dress. They're peach with studs on the t-bar. They also had a navy pair if you'd be worried about getting this colour dirty. Verdict: Good buy. They were a bargain and perfect pastels.

I bought this from Boots as my nails are a travesty. They chip and break an awful lot and I really wanted to fix it because I like nails and I'd really like healthy nails for prom. It was £4.75, so I wasn't splashing out but it felt like a bit much at the time but I'm happy because now I'm on the road to recovery. Verdict: needed.

This biker jacket is an absolute stunner and is really flattering. It's not really needed seeing as we're approaching summer but I couldn't help myself, it was just so perfect when I tried it on and I thought it would be perfect for mild weather and riding on my dad's motorbike. It was a steal at £34.99 from TKMaxx as it's real leather. It'll go perfect with my biker boots! Verdict: So happy I bought it.

This pink and white stripy Levis shirt was a real bargain at £4.99 from a thrift shop called YMCA. It sells the most amazing clothes and brands there. I've purchased numerous Hawaiian shirts. It needs a wash and an iron then it's perfect for 6th form next year. Verdict: Might as well.

My last purchase of the day was also from YMCA and is a salmony-peach cardiagan that matches my new shoes. The lighting in this rented cottage doesn't do it justice. It wasn't quite the fit I was expecting but I'll make it work. It was £3.99 so still a good price and even better since because it was marked as £5.99. Verdict: I could live without.
