Welsh Wardrobes


Packing for my weekend trip to West Wales on Thursday , I had more than what outfits to pick on my mind. I've got a secret you see. I can't go a week without clothes shopping and I was beginning to worry about where exactly I would attend to said addiction in the absolutely beautiful, yet alarmingly shopless (virtually) Llanarth and Newquay.

My husband once told me that if I bought one more candle, cushion or photo frame he'd...well he didn't know exactly what he'd do but I could tell it wouldn't be to compliment me for my commitment to the soft furnishing industry.

So, if home wear purchasing is paused, what for my wardrobe addictions in rural Wales?

Unfazed by the lack of high street names, I pride myself on my ability to hunt out a stylish bargain in the most unlikely of stores - Newquay's Second Gear store to be precise. Last summer I picked up a John Rocha dress for twelve small pounds and this time, I nabbed a beautiful, fitted M&S Autograph black coat. A steal at £40.


Add this to a £2 heart shaped, faux-crystal broach from Aberystwyth and I'm high on life. My mood visibly picked and a euphoria oozed happily through my shopaholic veins.

An amazing meal at Aberaeron's Harbour Master topped off a wonderfully Welsh weekend for me...safe in the knowledge that my shopping fix would remain dormant until next weekend. http://www.harbour-master.com/
