I’m gonna tell you about my trip to the ‘Frayed Hem’, Its placed on the way up to the Royal Mile, nestled in between a mixture of different shops such as ‘route one’ - snap backs, skateboards and your classic Vans and ‘Pie in The Sky’ - girly with an edge, emo, body jewelry, fake eyelashes etc. (Will post links at the bottom) The shop window is intriguing with one window containing women’s wear displaying fur jackets, pearl beaded necklaces, scarves and a stunning dress. The other, showing off the fantastic vintage menswear, tweed seems to appear quite a bit. On entering the shop, I was greeted by a lovely girl sitting on a laptop, the music didn’t seem to go with the atmosphere of the shop but I enjoyed singing along to the chart music while browsing. I worked my way round the shop, and to my suprise I noticed a sale rale, I was drawn in! To my disappointment I did not see anything I was attracted too. Sad times. I had a glance over the jewelry and gloves that were laid out neatly on a table next to the cash desk. I was the only one in the shop yet I was left to browse on my own. Felt a tiny bit awkward but I continued to take clothes of the rail and examine them, gently placing them back when I seen the prices of some things! That was until I came across the playsuit. Stunning! I asked to try it on, the changing room was small with no mirror inside but a GIGANTIC one facing the door of the changing room. As I was by myself I felt brave enough to step out of the enclosed space and too my great pleasure I loved the playsuit, a deffo buy. I placed it back on the hanger and ventured to the cash desk where I noticed a sign that if paying my debit/credit card a 50p fee would be added. Perfectly fine by me! and plus I was lacking cash on me at the time. The item was folded neatly and placed in a basic yet classic brown paper bag. I walked out a happy bunny!
