So my second shop that I want in England is American Eagle Outfitters. I supposed it's kind of like a less poncy Jack Wills but with more colour. Lifestyle clothing. Me and Lizzy developed our addiction when we landed in America in 2005 for the last bit of our Gap Year and of course, needed more clothes.
I love backpacking, and I love the ease of having one going out outfit, so there's no hassle of deciding what to wear on a night out, but it does mean that it is incredibly tempting to buy lots of clothes, when you've been wearing the same few tops for the last few months.
My first purchase was a lovely blue T-shirt and a pair of knickers. You don't really think that new knickers are that exciting, until you've been wearing the same 10 pairs for months. For my birthday last year, Lizzy sent me out a parcel with some new knickers in and it was so so exciting! The feeling of wearing brand new clean knickers is just heavenly.
I sent some to Emma in China last year just before Christmas and got a very strange look from the post office lady when she asked me to fill in a customs declaration form...
Anyway, I then headed back to New York with uni in 2007 and added a few more American Eagle items to my collection.
Their clothes are soft, colourful, well made, comfy and I still love them today. Open one in London please!
