Vogue

There’s a certain amount of irony in the name of this shop that becomes apparent as you walk through the door. Scratch that, it’s apparent as soon as you read the signage and spot the «all clothes for £5.99» decals. Whilst I’m not one to frown upon new ventures, and really wanted to like what I found inside, as soon as I wandered in I realised they had nothing for me — it simply wasn’t my bag.
Whilst the items on the mannequins were of vague temptation (note all you need do is change the second letter in the name, and you have my sentiments summed up) alas, once inside that keenness was lost. The dress that I thought was cute wasn’t really my style after all, and although in fact not all items are £5.99, most of the ones I browsed are pretty darn cheap.
If you’re in a pinch and want some sparkliness on the cheap this is a good bet, and they had a number of popular choices (leggings, for example) that you can pick up without a silly price tag. The staff seemed friendly enough and they had an abundance of bargains that match the current trend for stretchy cotton and slightly eighties sparkle, but as I said, it wasn’t really my taste.
I certainly don’t hate the clothes herein, and as the snow continues I’m sure I may be back to purchase cheap leggings (purely in replacement of tights, and nothing more!) but for the moment I shouldn’t think I’ll be a regular here.
