S. H. O. P. P. I. N. G. We're shopping.

Having seen the best of the high street we headed to the Nortern Quarter for a spot of vintage shopping. Our favourite was this, snappily titled 'Vintage'. There were arran jumpers for a tenner, on the money denim shearling jackets for £15 & bargainous bags for 20 smackers.

We also liked the look of Blue Rinse, Pop Boutique & Junk (which had a won an award for best independent shop at the Best of Manchester Awards the previous night. We found an amazing pair of aqua and white striped dungarees but didn't purchase & have been kicking ourselves ever since.

We're in Manchester!

To celebrate the launch of the Heart of Manchester guide we've been invited up north to see what's on offer. After taking a tour of the Arndale Centre, Selfridgs & Harvey Nics, we wandered up Kings Street to visit the Vivienne Westwood boutique & Hervia Bazaar which stocks an amazing selection of Comme des Garcons, Galliano & Child of the Jago.
