Tucked away in a fifties American style bowling alley I stumbled across a treasure trove of vintage, tempting me with cardigans from the 50s, 80s logo tees, handmade jewellery, home-ware and retro sweets. While I had intended not to part with my hard earned cash, I gave in at the thought of a V neck Aaron jumper (£5, bartered down from £10) hanging proudly in my wardrobe, from a stall...

Katy Morton
I am an aspiring fashionista who currently works on a weekly B2B magazine. I have also written a beauty article on how to get perfect skin, write my own weekly blog and have interned at Sky Magazine. After leaving university with a degree in media I worked at a post production company (TV) and several fashion houses before doing a diploma in Magazine Journalism and turning my hand to writing. I work in London and live just outside the city, but in the near future am hoping to move a bit closer to the Capital. I'm mostly likely to be found glued to the internet, laden with shopping bags or cleaning out my wardrobe to make room extra room for the contents of the shopping bags. I love London and New York and secretly aspire to be Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw, living in NYC, writing my own column and able to buy as many designer shoes and dresses as I desire. I enjoy shopping, art, travel, chocolate and film. My blog will cover fashion, art, design, film and exciting events taking place across the Capital.
