Shikasuki - Primrose Hill

"A candy box of vintage delights blended with mouth-watering contemporary art. Two floors of treasures... Pick 'n' Mix your own selection!" is Shikasuki's tagline. Owned and managed by Rachel Sheridan Ducker and her parents, this little white and Perspex shop is crammed full of vintage clothes and accessories. And if you can't quite afford any of the Ossie Clark dresses, there are greetings cards, original artwork (some by the owner herself) and a huge number of sparkly accessories for even the smallest of budgets. I ended up with some cards to send to friends featuring some of the bags for sale in the shop and a gorgeous sparkly red beaded cocktail ring with roses. It cheered up my day no end this morning when I had to go to work.

And I'm wearing it now, typing this, during my lunch hour. I've got stomach, PMT and am feeling a bit rubbish. But with my hotwaterbottle and my sparkly ring, I'm managing to cope.
