The Secret of Shoes at Bicester Village

If you are a self-confessed shoe addict like me, then you really must make your way to Bicester Village this month!

The upmarket shopping destination is celebrating our national love of shoes with a range of bespoke pop-up boutiques from designers like Penelope Chilvers and Joseph Cheaney and Sons, as well as extended collections from resident designers including Rupert Sanderson, Gina and Kenzo. Every footwear brand is dialling up its shoe offering with limited-edition styles, and you can also make the most of a complimentary shoe shining service in the Village every Thursday to Sunday during April.

Trip to Bicester Village

Earlier this week I took a trip to Bicester Village to indulge in some retail therapy. For those of you not familiar with Bicester, it's a designer outlet village stocked full of brands including Ralph Lauren, Prada, Tory Burch, Givenchy and Salvatore Ferragmo. Nestled outside Oxford and a short journey from London, this it the place to visit if you're after quality at a reduced price.

Tory Burch is always the first place I visit, and there was a great range of items on sale from last season as well as some unique pieces. The outlet store is perhaps the best place to get some Tory shoes- you are spoilt for choice!

Talking of shoes I saw these great loafers in Church's- they came in a gorgeous range of royal colors!

On this trip, my pennies were spent in Ferragmo and on these fab grey, blue and black Varinas.

Tory Burch at Bicester Village

On Wednesday I took a trip to Bicester Village to check out the Tory Burch Outlet. It's been three years since my last trip, and whilst the complex has a range of my favourite stores (Ralph Lauren and Kate Spade to name two!) the addition of TB pretty much makes it one of the best places to shop.

There was a fantastic range of items marked down, and many of the items that you would see in the regular boutiques and concessions were in the store but on sale!

I picked up a Simone Cardigan that I've been after for ages, and a great hot orange iPad case for under £50.

I could have bought pretty much every shoe in the store, but I needed to show a little restraint ahead of a big shopping trip that's fast approaching... :)
