Oh my
July 16 2007
Finally, after absolutely AGES, I went into Birmingham to have a (semi) shopping session. I don’t think it could be classed as even a semi-shop since I bought nothing and was impressed by nothing.
Really, what has happened to shops? They all sell the same absolute rubbish. It’s so dull. Maybe it’s just me, but the introduction of the high street made everything so similar. So plain and un-inspirational. Not only that, but for what it actually is, prices are far too steep.
It actually disheartens me slightly. Which is not good considering I’m already lacking inspiration at the moment. Maybe I ought to go for a bit of a hunt in some charity & vintage shops (thrifting is the term) to get my spirits up rather than rambling at the few that read the blog.

I have to agree that there is nothing on the high street anymore, unless you wan’t to look like a clone. Unfortunately, since shopping in vintage and charity shops became a ‘trend’, I’ve noticed the amount of treasures slowly disappearing in those shops as well. I’m starting to think DIY.

You’re right there! It’s quite sad really. DIY sounds like a good plan though.
