ACCESSORIES. (for you tl:drs out there)…read more I've walked past Relax Garden on Kingsland Road many a time, and was always a bit put off by the boxy cuts of the frocks dancing in the tight little window. Finally, I saw past the squareness of it all on an early June day, and made my way in to the quaint boutique. Here's the skinny -- everything is a bit boxy. It's not quite as "shoreditch" as the window displays would have you believe, though. The upside to this particular cut and style is that it fits a wider range of people (pun intended? no). For me though personally, not very flattering so I skipped on most of the items I adored on the racks. but did end up with one very lovely summery dress that will be very nice for work, chiming in at £78. It's flowy, not boxy -- big difference! However ACCESSORIES. This is where it's at in the Relax Garden, my dears. Earrings, necklaces, scarves, sunglasses...all very inexpensive. I snagged a gorgeous pair of triangle earrings, a summer scarf, a headband (we'll see how that goes) and was truly delighted at the options. It's a very small shop. The women are friendly and somewhat over involved in the experience. I am sure they are happy to help, but I do prefer a bit more space. I am sure if I had just told them that they would've left me to it. They've been open 10 years. They are doing something right! The clothes are well made and not nearly as expensive as I had anticipated. If you are shopping in or around Shoreditch High Street, make sure to give this one a go, it'll be worth it for the accessories and perhaps you are the perfect person for that square fit boxy look -- then it's a goldmine.

Relax Garden is an adorable boutique, stocking mostly Japanese designers and their own label, which…read moreshares its name with the shop. Everyone knows that Japanese people are unquestionably the best dressers in the world, so Japanese designers are generally a safe bet. I like this store because it looks very expensive, but isn't. They stock an interesting selection of garment designs in great colours and fabrics. They also have some beautiful leather bags and very cool jewellery. My favourite piece in the shop this season is a bright orange, button up jersey vest. Every time I have been in here the staff have been friendly and welcoming, happy to give what seem like genuine opinions on the outfits I choose and in return, I usually pick something temporarily wardrobe and life changing for about £50. It's around the same price as Topshop but with the added bonus of knowing you probably won't walk into a party wearing the same dress as everybody else.

I found a Rose and Lavender candle that smelled divine. I flipped it over to look at the price and I got brought back to reality really quick - it was £4.50. OK, so I am a cheapskate, I admit, but still, I'm not into spending a fiver on a stupid candle that's going to burn into nothingness in the long run. Ignoring my reservations, I held onto it while I perused what the rest of the shop had to offer. It had cute little knick knacks of all sorts - cards, lipstick holds, keychains, purses. I took a photo of the jewellery display. Then I went to the back of the shop and found loads of overpriced ugly clothes that only a wicked witch or a sexless spinster would wear and I took a picture of them. 'Excuse me, no more pictures please!' said a woman behind the counter that I did not even recognise existed until that very moment because she did not bother to greet me when I came into the store as she was picking her cuticles and developing blisters on her buttocks from sitting on her ass for so long embracing indolence with all of her being. I was annoyed to say the least. Like seriously, why can't I take pictures? Do you have a black magic banshee kickin' it behind the trouser section or something? I put my candle back and sprinted out of the shop. She could stuff it.

Hooray! I love this shop right now. I was shopping in Greenwich for silly things and found a dress…read morein that branch of Joy that was too big. Luckily for me I ended up in Clapham that weekend and popped into this branch! They had the perfect size and I now have a brilliant sexy blue dress with a pretty blue bow at the back. Only £45 quid too. All of the clothes are lovely here. Especially the dresses. Some of them are very expensive, but that just gives you a nice surprise when you find a bargain. The lady who served me was lovely. This branch isn't nearly as pretty as the Greenwich branch, but the clothes are still great. It's more relaxed. The staff in the Greenwich branch never talk to me but I had a nice chat with the lady serving me. Unfortunately, I was having such a nice chat with the lady serving me, that she didn't take the tag off the dress. So I've paid for it, and I somehow left the shop, but now I have to call them and explain why I have a dress with a tag and proof of purchase. I'm a bit confused about how I didn't get arrested Still, I could do with a new coat so I'll have a bit of a look around while I'm back there. Hopefully they'll take the tag off that. Maybe it's a sneaky way of getting people to go back to the shop

This wasn't my favorite Swarovski store but I liked the service and it carried the pen I wanted because I looked elsewhere and they were sold out.

Whenever I walk past a Swarovski Crystal shop the same question runs through my head, 'Who buys…read morethese?!' At what point in your life do you look at that empty space on your shelf and think it would be best filled by a couple of crystal ornamental pandas sitting in an uncomfortably natural pose chewing crystal bamboo? I am not making this up. This is actually what I saw in the Swarovski window on Regent's Street. Weirder still the description claimed it was making a 'hint' towards the protection of the species. A hint? I think maybe the WWF would prefer a square chunk of the £265 price tag you're charging! The jewellery selection in here is not actually so bad and a couple of more tasteful pieces sit upon the shelves. However, for the prices charged here I'd prefer diamonds! Staff are quite helpful but very 'into' crystal and its superior properties. I found this whole sales technique a bit creepy and shuffled out of the shop quite quickly. The success of the Swarovski brand proves that it must be doing some thing right but I just can't figure out what.
