I’m back home in London after my New York City adventures (and yes… it’s raining again), and I’m doing a proper catch-up haul of everything I picked up in NYC plus a few drizzly car boot sale bargains. I start with Target in Soho/Broadway where I honestly thought I’d walked into some fancy pop-up because the displays were so good. I ended up going a bit feral in the cleaning aisle: a Clorox tub & tile handheld scrubber, a coconut-husk Scrub Daddy, travel-size Clorox wipes, Mr. Clean Magic Erasers to test on tougher marks, and a couple of stain-remover bits for my bag. I also found a very appropriate “cat parent” mug for $5, and grabbed those free umbrella covers by the door because London weather is going to London weather. From Chelsea Market (Artists & Fleas), I picked up a Sweet Baby Ray’s Tees Carrie Bradshaw print—because Sex and the City just is New York to me. I also share a handy Louis Vuitton tip: if you want passport embossing, you’ll need a 24-hour window to drop it off and collect it. Then we head to the first boot sale back of the year, which was basically a swimming pool. I still managed four wins: a customised Levi’s jacket with a really cool octopus/skull vibe, a Converse x Golf pair of trainers (with some proper boot sale haggling), and two free home bits—a chunky concrete candle holder and a florist-style plant pot. And finally… the most chaotic souvenir of all: an Art the Clown “Terrifier” saw from Halloween Adventure, complete with a very suspicious suitcase inspection story.
