I had been wanting a pair of Toms for a while, but I just never got around to buying any. I was sorting through my clothes and books today (ready for my move tomorrow – eek!) and as I was carrying a bag of rags into town I spotted a pair in ALALA‘s window. I couldn’t believe my luck. Rose gold and size 37. Perfect.

I waited twenty minutes for the shop to open because I thought someone else might snap them up. When I went inside I couldn’t see a price tag. I have a habit of picking up things without price tags, and I always feel bad about it because it happens so often that I probably look a bit dodgy.

The lovely lady behind the counter said they were a fiver. Bargain.

ALALA is on Baker Street, near the Level and just off London Road.
