Mr. Bright's tips

Christmas 2011 in Brighton







So another Christmas is fast approaching and it’s the same every year, you wish you’d gone shopping in Brighton! Well I can understand why! A 10 minute wander can take you past retro, boutique, big-brand and kooky stores eager to please. Here’s my top tips for hot spot’s along the way.

Start at Beyond Retro on Vine Street. It’s a vast emporium of retro clobber with some weird and wacky delights. It’s open late and sometimes has live events taking place. The Cowboy boots are killer!

If you buying for a lady or you are one, The lavender rooms is a must. White walls, delicate trinkets and lots of lace; you are sure to find a gift for a gal. If that’s not your thing just pop over the road to Badger for some cool as a cucumber clothes for the man about town.

Stop by Octopus on the way to Churchill Square. I’ve seen Cheese graters with dresses, Mops with character and Toasters like technicolour dreamcoats. You will find a gift for someone or just have a good old giggle.

This next store will have to be at the end, because you won’t have the energy at the start! Hollister is an Abercrombie cousin complete with dark lights and swanky sweat pants. If you can make it through anyone under the age of 21 will adore you. Especially if you come out with their signature scent.

If you need some refreshment at some point it has to be Small batch for a coffee or Merkaba for a cheeky monkey, which is actually a cocktail!
