I’m at Bicester Shopping Village today shopping with the lovely Tina from Luphia and Vero from That Canadian Girl and a bunch of other fashion and style bloggers. Kindly the ‘Village’ have given us £50 to spend so I’ve managed to get a beautiful Ralph Lauren dress for Lily £31! And some cool Audrey Hepburn sunglasses for £4 from Accesorize.
I’m currently on a lunch break but then I’m heading back to Cath Kidston where I had to stop myself buying everything earlier
Here are some photos, hope you like them
**UPDATE and thoughts on the day**
Bicester really was a lovely shopping experience, the staff are knowledgeable and nothing is too much trouble it was like shopping in the US. They have an in-house personal shopper who is possibly the nicest one I’ve ever met, and I’ve met a fair few in London who are scary! Although the stores are high end the prices are high street, I found items in Ralph Lauren that were no more than if they had been in Gap. I also managed to buy two Cath Kidston pillow covers, a washbag for my holiday and a super cute Cath Kidston backpack for Miss Lily all for £42!
Bicester has some ‘Harvey Nichols’ type brands (for a full list click here) such as Alexander McQueen, Alice Temperley, Jimmy Choo and Diana Von Furstenburg but all the prices are at least 50% off which is amazing value. If you’re looking for a special occasion outfit I’d throughly recommend going there for the day you would be able to get everything you need.
I have a small champagne hangover this morning, but I’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make our shopping experience so enjoyable yesterday. Lolly especially was brilliant and helped me out when my giftcard died. Thanks for such a lovely day and I’ll be coming back no question.

Your shopping day looks like it was great fun. I have been tempted by Cath Kidston for some time now. The first time I came to your blog I clicked on that link and have been a “pretend” shopper ever since. Maybe some day I will actually make a purchase.
Liz, I’m so glad you joined us for the day! You were both great company on the way there and back, and hilarious to watch when you started literally running towards the Cath Kidston store
I’m so pleased with my cute CK pinnie! Heehee
