  1. Fleet Street... so jealous :(

    If you can manage to find me some random 60's retro jacket, I want it :) or any jacket... or anything... hahaha. Brendan and I were at a thrift store, and he said I should bug you for a cute jacket cuz you're in london, and we both have the idea that they have either awesome thrift stores or some other place to find cool clothes for cheap... hehe.
