No shopping trip was complete without a snoop around Claire's...
There's no denying that whilst growing up, the majority of us spent 90% of our teenage years in Claire's Accessories. The iconic high-street store was a treasure trove full of everything a pre-pubescent girl could need, from fluffy pom-pom earrings to stick-on tooth gems (an absolute necessity, if we do say so ourselves).
So as you can imagine, Claire's has a special place in our hearts, and we bet it does in yours too. If you used to be a big fan of the high-street chain, we bet that you can relate to these 10 things...
