Polaroid Radio Review

Polaroid Digital Radio with ipod dock in cream leather look, £60.00, Asda

I was looking for a new digital radio for a while. Like a lot of people, I find getting up in the morning is one of the hardest things EVER, but regularly listening to a breakfast show seems to do the trick. But the radio I had was black and boring.

The most obvious choice that sprung to mind was a digital Robert's radio, you know, the really expensive retro leather jobbies. Whilst I was debating which colour to get, I stumbled across this one in my local Asda Home shop. It has the same retro look of the Roberts radio, but with more modern dials and buttons, and a brilliant pop-out ipod dock, and an aux-in port (so I can link it up to my ipad or macbook as well as my ipod or iPhone... God I have too many apples). Anyway, I made the purchase, and have been very happy with it. The sound quality is brilliant and it looks lovely. It's also light enough to move around without having to think about it, especially as it has a handy hand handle. 

You can get one at Asda online here:

Three Quid Blouse

Pink Blouse, £2.95, Cancer Research UK Charity Shop

Charcoal crew neck jumper, £20.00, New Look (menswear)

Floral peg trousers, £45.00, ASOS Premium

There are not many things that could fill me with such excitement for under £3.00. This blouse was in a local charity shop, which I had popped into on my lunch break with my work friends. I was amazed at the amazing things you could find with a bit of a rummage. My colleague also got a black beaded envelope clutch for £2.00! 

Absolutely amazing seeing as I have seen items just like this blouse and her bag in places like Beyond Retro in Brick Lane, London, for more like £20.00. 

I will wear this with a boyish jumper and printed trousers now, and on it's own with 7/8 light grey trousers in warmer weather. 

Save yourself a hell of a lot of money and look in charity shops before 'vintage' ones. Especially in January while we're all paying off Christmas.
