The after-effects of Aftershock

Oh, and I just had to share this really cute find from Aftershock. They had a 50% Annual Sale and I would have been a fool to not lift this clutch. Apart from the striking color, it is really comfortable to hold and goes with several formals that I use quite often. Aftershock is fast becoming my favorite shopping destination. It has more than a small share of little surprises tucked away that make great fashion buys. In the past, I have often picked up handbags, accessories, and handbags from Aftershock. And now, this little clutch is asking for company!

Aftershock is one of the UK’s leading designers, retailers and manufacturers of ladies wear and accessories. I love their use of exuberant colour schemes and beautiful design work. Their collections invariably feature some intricately beaded ladies wear, casual wear and some stunning accessories. The brand has its own popular daywear range entitled Little Buddha. But the best feature of the collection is affordable glamour. Their press feature claims that their celebrity followers include Madonna, Helen Mirren, Charlotte Church and Katherine Jenkins.

My past purchases from the store include a lovely floral print dress, and a jaw-dropping glamorous kurta in white, with silver sequins. I know that I can always turn to this store for a quick retail therapy session. But don’t expect the quick thrills to come cheap. For though the designs are affordable, they are not really budget buys. Unless on sale, that is. But it makes good fashion sense to try this store at least once. You never know what you might find. And I can vouch for one fact; the after-effects of Aftershock are almost always really pleasant, not to forget addictive.
