I am completely addicted to Charity shopping and consider myself to be an expert when it comes to hunting down a designer find, even if it means going as far as London to do so. The best Tip I have for luxury shopping on a budget is to go to a wealthy area where Women who lunch often have a closet clearout and donate unworn and unwanted clothes to the local charity shop. St Johns Wood High Street is amazing with three great charity shops, including Oxfam where many Celebs have been known to shop and donate. I have found things from Prada shoes to a Chanel vintage jacket but not everytime, it can be a hit and miss thing although I always find something I love, everytime.
I would suggest you go on a Friday before the busy weekend and make a day of it visiting other close by wealthy areas like Hampstead High Street and Primrose Hill, all very close by. Looking good doing good is my motto, a win win for everyone!
Charitie Shop are seeing a rise in high-end donations and purchases fuelled by celebrity customers and luxury goods.
