It's not you, it's me

Be warned: Me me me jewellery comes with side effects, but don't panic, they're mainly cool side effects. First of all, Me me me designer Jade Gallup, a ceramics student, makes all her jewellery from porcelain, so a night on the tiles could see you literally shattered if you're not careful. Secondly, Me me me jewellery is so darn cute and unique that you'll have a cue of girls asking you about it all night but for jewellery this sweet, it'll be worth it.

Me me me jewellery is delightfully whimisical and fun. Given that Gallup takes her inspiration from her obsession with all things tacky, like religious iconography and bunny rabbits, her designs tend to be on the quirky side but quirky is way better than boring! It's far better to be just that little bit wrong because it makes you look oh-so-right.

Awesome auds

One the one hand, I love you. On the other, I hate you. A modern take on 'He loves me, he loves me not'? All I know is that nothing says 'I love/hate you' better than a pair of Knuckledusters. Designed by London fashion designer Audrey Auds as part of her new accessories range, auds, these Knuckledusters could be the best/worst Valentine's Day gift ever. Other sterling items in her collection include beetle hair-clips and thunderbolt clips all made from mirrors, plastic and hair. Yes. Hair. auds jewellery is handmade to order and a little pricey but jewellery this unique and anti-trend is always worth it.

Hawkers & Gawkers

London's street markets are lively places which hark back to the old days when supermarkets did not exist. In fact, many of the orginal markets are still open today, operating from the same site where they first flourished decades ago. Most markets are only open a couple of days a week while others only operate on the weekend so when they are open they're always crowded with shoppers seeking a bargain. Whether it's delicious fresh fruit and vegies you're looking for or vintage teacups and dresses, London's street markets have got it covered.

Personally, my favourite market is Camden Passage in Angel- a vibrant market lining the narrow cobble-stoned pathways near Angel Station. Stalls mingle amongst high profile shops, cafes, pubs and vintage antique stores which makes the stroll through this market an interesting one full of surprises and treats. For example, you can find a minimalist stall run by an eccentric Frenchman selling old black and white photographs of 1920s Flappers and eerie old school photographs dating back to the early 1900s, not to mention an assortment of weird stuff like one or two bird feathers or a rusty old hammer. Walk a little further along and you'll stumble upon the shop of London chocolatier Paul A.Young and Annie's Vintage Shop, a treasure trove of old-school Hollywood glamour.

Overall, Camden Passage is one the quirkier markets around but its got character- an essential aspect of every good street market.

Doth take tea

Fleur Tea Pot and Stop For Tea Gift Set- Whittard of Chelsea.

Like most girls I have a thing for teasets. The search for the perfect tea pot and matching cups and saucers is ongoing and it's only sheer will power that keeps me from purchasing one tea pot a week! But I still love looking and London is the perfect place to look for teasets. Teatime is a national pastime here and given that it's cold for much of the year alot of tea drinking is recommended so owning a special teaset is therefore quite necessary. Street markets are a great place to find authentic antique cups and saucers but for a killer matching set check out some of London's many tea shops like High Tea of Highgate which is the cosiest tea shop I've found in London so far.
