From the 'East End Girl' theme is Booti-licious - please see main text box for caption details
For Sportsgirl's January fashion they have two themes for you to dress up in - 'Almost Famous' and 'East End Girl'.
Almost Famous is based on the quote "What, this old thing? I picked it up in Romania when we toured there." But fortunately Sportsgirl have taken the travel time of getting to the Eastern European markets out of the equation and have filled their stores with muslin, jacquard, silk and moody floral, rich colours and enough embellishment to start a revolution.
East End Girl has two different moods, the urban tough girl looks favoured by East London's Hoxton scene and new wave gypsy looks that hark back to 1970's rock chic. Urban tough gal is about cut and edge, new wave gypsy is about texture and mood.
The look shown here is from East End Girl range, named all so appropriately 'Booti-licious' and consists of a Sportsgirl 'Spliced' cool girl tee $59.95, Sportsgirl longline tank $29.95, Sportsgirl crochet skirt $99.95, Sportsgirl jewelled chunky bracelet $39.95, Sportsgirl zip chain clutch $29.95 and Sportsgirl buckle biker boot.
