Vintage Shopping in Camden

Hello!!!
So on Friday, my mum, sister and I went to London to watch the X Factor tour (which was amazing by the way!)
And we wanted to go somewhere cool in the Saturday-and I said that I wanted to go to Camden.
I've always wanted to go, but we've never gotten round to it! So we got on the tube and went to Camden, and the first thing we saw was a massive market which we didn't spend much time in because the stuff wasn't what I wanted. I wanted to find some cool vintage shops where I could buy something amazing.
At first we went to a vintage shop called Rokit which was really cool but I couldn't find what I wanted to find. The clothes weren't as colourful as I wanted-I wanted something bright and with an interesting print.
So we left Rokit (my sister bought a jumper) and we headed up the road which seemed to go on forever!!!
But the lady in Rokit recommended that we go to another vintage shop further up called Episode. We went inside and it was literally the most gorgeous place ever! {and it was playing the arctic monkeys so that was a huge bonus:D}
It was so bright!!! My sister found a yellow jumper with a cornucopia on it and I nearly died;)
In Episode, they re-vamp old clothes and make them into really cool pieces. There were loads of extremely cool pleated mini skirts in weird prints and I fell in love with them. We were looking through and I decided to buy a bright green one adorned with prints of fish and starfish which was utterly amazing!!!
I also wanted a sweatshirt because I haven't actually got one! And I found the funniest one ever! It says 'DEER HUNTER' on it and has a really funny slogan on it. It was so strange but charming-and now it's my baby:)
Then we went to Camden Lock and the shops were super cool (especially one vintage shop in which I found the coolest pink dress printed with gold crosses!!!) but we had to leave early because we had to get back home.
Overall I had a brilliant time and I can't wait to go back in April to buy more strange things.

Love, Jaimee xx
