THE REVIEW EDITION: LONDON LOVES LA GOODIES

If you caught my brand review post a few weeks ago about the British online thrift store London Loves LA, then you'll know that I've been obsessed with their 'Teenage Runaway' sweater for around 8 months or so! I just haven't been able to justify spending £37+ (inc. P&P) on a sweatshirt. However, when the girls announced a 24 hour discount on it, I couldn't resist. In my defense, I was on my lunch break at work, I definitely needed a pick me up!

So alas, I finally bought it for £26.50 and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Sadly, I initially bought a Medium, thinking the size would be perfect for me, however I should have taken the advice on the website that said it would be best for girls to size down. It was a little too big. So I contacted one of their girls, Ella (who is one of the sweetest girls I've ever spoken too!) and she said she would sort me out with an exchange as soon as she received my return. 

Unfortunately, (or fortunately in this case) they were out of stock in the smaller size and Ella asked if I would mind waiting until the beginning of this week for a replacement, even said she'd throw in a beanie for the inconvenience.

I really wouldn't have minded waiting regardless of the freebie, but the thought was wonderful and I'm most grateful to Sophie and Ella for putting one in. I love it!

I love how simple the beanie is whilst being really cute (and cosy, I don't want to take it off!)

If you are looking to purchase their clothing, check the size guides for a clear idea. As you can see, this size is fitted on me but still allows me to move around without it being too fitted.

I would also like to point out, the inside is very softly lined so it will keep you warm whilst the cold weather is still here. Perfect for the current British climate.

Love love love this beanie.

The sweatshirt can be purchased here and the hat can be bought here.

Their products are brilliant quality, and their customer service is excellent.

I can't recommend this brand enough, this experience has definitely made me want to order from them again. I would do without any hesitation.

Please check out their items, you absolutely will not be disappointed!

HOW TO STYLE | THE SWEATSHIRT EDITION

I have a list (very vast) of items I could not live without, but I'll admit, within the top ten you'll firmly see 'Sweatshirts' listed. They're just so comfortable and work a treat when teamed up with a pair of jeans on a more chilled day. I'm still wearing a sweatshirt bought back in 2010, it's actually on my body more than it was back when I bought the damn grey 'Oregon' jumper from the mens department in Primark. 

I decided to showcase a variety of ways you can style sweatshirts, it doesn't just have to be a casual affair, you can definitely dress them up a little bit too! 

 

 It's safe to say, now I'm a proud owner of the London Loves LA 'Teenage Runaway' sweatshirt, I'll be taking inspiration from myself and finding some interesting ways to style it!

ONLINE STORE REVIEW: LONDON LOVES LA

It must be pushing on for at least 8 months since I stumbled upon the American vintage online clothing store, London Loves La. Born in 2010 and run by English sisters Sophie & Ella Berman with a passion for American apparel (not the brand) that one would struggle to find even in the most vintage of London back-street stores, it became a fast favourite that even had Harry Styles of One Direction showcasing an array of the brands original designs within his wardrobe.

The Berman girls have not only brought a variety of vintage pieces straight from the US into their online boutique, they have created some wonderful (and very popular) designs of their own that have been in such high demand, and taking one look at them, it's not hard to understand why. There are also accessories such as friendship bracelets, festival-esque bracelets, beanie hats and pin badges, as well as vintage band tees, sweatshirts, varsity jackets and even a Coachella inspired collection.

If you want American style, look no further than L ♥ L!
