Notonthehighstreet.com brings together over 2,500
independent small UK businesses that sell over 45,000 products. it's like etsy but a little more uniform in postage prices and return policy because you buy through one checkout rather than from the individual seller. Each business has been chosen
by notonthehighstreet.com based on style, quality and originality.
I was given a budget of £50 to spend on the site and I was excited to get a nice print for my bedroom as I knew that notonthehighstreet.com sold some lovely and unique homeware. When I took a good look at the website I was suprised to find out that they also sell clothes.
Here is what I chose:
I paired the dress with my trusty Topshop biker jacket and daisystreet allegra style boots.
My final pick was a print which I hope to get framed for my bedroom. I'm a huge Ben Whishaw fan and I adored the film he starred in called Bright Star about the poet John Keats. The film prompted me to read his poetry and I'm now more than a little in love. There are so many gorgeous prints to chose from on the site and lots of them can be customised to make great gifts or remind you of a special day.
I think notonthehigstreet.com cuts out a lot of the hard work for you as it searches for the best sellers to include on their site and they have so many products available. Do you try and buy from independent retailers?

Dress is beautiful, never heard of the website, need to go check it out :)
ReplyDeleteAdore the outfit you put together! After seeing Bright Star I read Keats for the first time, and his poetry is just amazing. Did you see Ben in Richard II?
ReplyDeletex
YES!! He was marvellous in it. If you watch Grandma's House you might notice that Iwan Rheons character is a parody of him x
Deletei could spend hours trawling through notonthehighstreet, absolutely love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress, looks lovely on you :) Love the print as well! xx
ReplyDeleteI love the dress, I've been dying to find the perfect little white lace dress for a long time now. I'm checking out the website now (and crossing my fingers that they ship to the states). I haven't gotten around to watching 'Bright Star' yet, I had this feeling it would make me cry so I kept avoiding it.

Thats a gorgeous dress, I have a similar black one that I love, I can never wear light colours though either gets filthy somehow or I look huge haha xx
ReplyDeleteI love notonthehighstreet I find it great for gift buying. Lovely dress by the way :)
ReplyDeleteThat dress looks absolutely gorgeous with the jacket. I've seen a similar one by River Island - if only I wasn't so broke right now I'd buy it. Great blog!

ReplyDeleteLove this dress on you, toughening up lace with bikers is always a win and it looks like a great length too - some of mine have shrunk completely now : (
