On Thursday the Playful Promises boutique took part in the Carnaby 20% Shopping Party, so I spent the evening there helping everything run smoothly and organising the performers. You can read all about that over here.
Amidst all the burlesquing and cake eating I managed to nip to the shop next door to the boutique, F-Troupe, which drew me in with it's two headed cat...

Their shop is full of crazy taxidermy, oddities and victorian photographs.
I ended up buying these boots, and paid a little extra for the pointed toe option.

Their packaging was also stunning, the shoebox is definitely something I'll use for keeping things in, and the printed bag is the ideal size when I need to go on shoots etc.
