Paradise it is and a snooper you must be. A stalwart feature on Brighton's North Laine, enter via turnstiles into Snoopers Paradise. ''Aladdins Cave'', ''a vintage emporium'', ''a treasure trove'', ''a labrinyth of exclusive tat''. Delete as appropriate as it's basically a jumped up indoor flea market, but I DO feel the need to over-exaggerate the sheer goodness.
Typewriters, 60s furniture, record players and old Vogue posters are just a few of the trinkets on offer. Whether you need fancy dress inspiration, enjoy cluttering up your baby-sized London accommodation or just want some cool things to play with, this is undoubtedly one of the best places to go discovering. It's much cheaper than vintage stores elsewhere and there is the added bonus of no hassling stall holders. Men equally love it - one was particularly excited over a guitar with no strings.
And for the raging fashionistas, head upstairs to Snoopers Attic. What grabbed my attention and were plonked immediately onto my head were the glorious headbands courtesy of Future Folklore. Ornate head decorations, these intricate bands are adorned with pearls, skulls, ribbons, feathers and more.
I'm literally counting down until I can return in a more financially stable position and purchase this war-inspired one. It looks a little like a medallion in the middle of my head, but I like to think of myself as a warrior princess/Juliet when it's placed on the mop.
The designer will be selling at Secret Garden Party, Wilderness and different festivals across the summer - please forgo those mass market floral bands and invest in one of these. They are a little pricey, starting from about £30, but would make a perfect accessory for heaps of occasions. I think the words 'engage me' came out of my mouth and this nonsensical sentence was simply emphasising how wedding-wonderful they are.
