Clothes and Labels .x.X.x.X.


I've been shopping in Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Glasgow the past few weeks. So here are some pictures of my new clothes and their gorgeous labels and tags. My favourite FAVOURITE brand is White Stuff and my favourite shop is John Lewis! White Stuff's clothing is so cute and delicate and well designed and very good quality. John Lewis has also got a lot of good quality clothing which I am appreciating more and more.
The White Stuff shop in Edinburgh is defiantly worth a visit - if only for the experience! The building and layout of the shop is brilliant. The John Lewis in Glasgow is the biggest of the three cities - but I like the layout of Aberdeen's one the best. Anyway enough blabbering and on with the clothes:
