everything from head to toe at bicester village

this is the place where the rest of my english pounds went to.
for those who do not mind shopping for past season items, do go. some of them are not that old and things from cath kidston do not really go out of season, do they??


we picked up our rented car from south kensington. it was a volkswagen golf. initially i ordered a smaller car for the day trip, then they upgraded it for us at no cost. this car runs on diesel, phew!
the journey took us around one hour on the motorway.

those who are keen to look for branded bags, you can still find brands like burberry, prada and tods. just make sure you bring enough money.

well, i did not go for these brands but knowing me, it is impossible not to come back with something since i had purposely included this place in the itinerary.

so here goes:

4 pairs of shoes from clarks. i paid around 85 pounds for them. cheap huh?

a leather bag from kipling. they have so many bags here and the prices are really low. kipling lovers will love it so so much.

two shirts from thomas pink. i just can't resist it and those stripes.

last but not least....my diva sunglasses. oh-la-la. this was the first pair i took from the range and i was done with the browsing. the glass is polaroid as well. this was the highlight purchase from bicester. happy.

so those who plan to go to bicester, it is better to take the coach which leaves from few major train stations in london. taking a train is very inconvenient because you have to change at oxford. imagine lugging all your shopping bags on the way back to london? just take the bus. there will be more than enough time for you to shop.

well, i had more than enough time. actually the planned purchases were the shoes and sunglasses. the rest were extras. so i was really good at controlling myself eh?
