Who Is Shopgirl?

WHO? WHAT? WHERE? WHY?

  WHO? Shopgirl. That's me. By the way.

I have a huge passion for pretty things - evidenced by a wardrobe that is quite literally bulging at the seams and a bedroom filled with boxes of shoes and shoe racks piled three or four high!

I generally try to shop on a strict budget and do not profess to be a bone fida fashionista.

For the past seven years I have been studying - in one form or another - political science and I get as excited about trips to the House of Commons as I do about shopping at Topshop. Sad but true. Currently I am not a student (boo to no student discount) but I do have a completely non-fashion related day job (which I do not plan to expand upon for now).

I have been blogging for just over a year now and I love it. I love the people who come and read my blog and I love the blogs that I read every day and I love the community that I feel I now belong to.



WHAT? This blog is my personal fashion diary: allowing a window onto my world.

I am a girl on a budget - like many of my readers - trying to work out how to stay on trend each season and to incorporate the beautiful things that I fall in love with on the catwalk and in my numerous fashion magazines each month into my limited wardrobe.

Sugar and Spice is filled with all manner of things that inspire me and excite me: from catwalk shows to high street outfits on a budget.

WHY? The blog serves as a creative outlet in my otherwise non-creative life. I fill the space with pretty pictures that make me smile: photos from my life, the people in it and the things around me.

I believe that in order to appreciate fashion and to dress stylishly, it is not necessary to have a wardrobe filled with designer clobber: Sugar and Spice demonstrates that this is possible.

Postscript: If you have a blog that you'd like me to check out - or even add to my Daily Reading List - please let me know.

If you are looking for information about adverting or sponsoring Sugar and Spice, there is a whole page - just for you - here.

Finally, if you have any questions - about anything that you don't feel have been answered above - please don't hesitate to ask.
