Today I went in to Central London to do some shopping. I got off at Knightsbridge first. Casually went in to Burberry- they were all so nice! They kept asking if i wanted any help..I tried to act really posh and not so 'OMGGG THIS IS AMAZING!' about everything- but it was difficult- Burberry is lush.

Anyway, moving on, went to Harrods. I dont really know where to begin.. I love Chanel. I saw Chanel and I walked straight through the Louis Vuitton collection without even looking- beeline. Eye on the big C H A N E L and its beautiful Garments. There were even a couple of books. I took a note of the ISBN of one.
FRUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Word of advice: NEVER go for HTC WILDFIRE. ANY model. they SUCK!!! Took notes of current designs in each designer from my harrods trip today on it, and the wildfire has deleted them all.
let's go dowwwwwwwwwn memory laaaaane. </3
so.. Chanel: Typical Square Jackets. i remember now! 95% Cotton 5% polyester. But it was really thick cotton. In white, in black- some had a bobbly effect.There were trench coats. Made of Lambskin. And i came across some beautiful long white dresses. Quite embellished. One had a bow effect on the front- which surprised me. Thats not really Chanel at all.. But the other one was beautiful. There were actually some Shopper style bags. Made out of that thick brown material. Collarless cardigans.
Louis Vuitton: I remember there was one dress which was basically a lot of medium sized black sequins- but in the light you could see purple and pink. If teh word 'Magic' had a visual definition, this dress would be it. I dunno why really.. its just sequins. What really surprised me actually is that lately, Louis Vuitton's campaigns have included a lot of Broderie Anglaise. But there was none present in the collection at Harrods.
Georgio Armani: I didn't spend too long in this section because the assistants werent very nice. But all i can remember is sparkly. I saw a blazer or coat which was very dark blue but had sparkles in it.
Dolce & Gabbana- really trying to remember- i think i took the most notes on this as well.Oranges. Lots of jewels as well. There was this one jacket which had about 12 massive jewels on the front of it- all different colours. It was quite nice, but i wouldnt wear it.
Prada. NICEST PEOPLE worked here! So friendly- very good customer service. Embellished collars on white shirts, and black and white squares. Like windows/grids.. I also came across a long fur coat. It was made out of e... E something. FML
Burberry: They like their trench coats, as usual. But some of them were silky. Overall Natural colours- tans and browns. Pale pinks. Oh and tribal. They have these amazing tribal-esque shoes.

how beautiful are these?!
Miu Miu- They like their tablecloth/gingham brights atm. In dress form. Overall quite a bright selection
Gucci- Gold and metallics as usual. There was an amaaaazing long gold sequinney dress. It isnt on the website though.. and i saw Flapper designs as well. I think the flapper current trend has mainly come from Gucci http://www.gucci.com/uk/styles/290914ZW7351000#. Gucci also had a lot of orange- orange dresses and shirts.
I came across a beaaaautiful French Designer that i havent even heard of before. Ive looked on the Harrods website and online. I cant find it anywhere. Of course in my notes i wrote down the name. SO ANGRY. But i remember it was french, began with an A. had quite a few vowels in it. The dresses were quite clingy- some kinda see-through- but still very classy. Like body sculpture. Some were woven. There was a fantastic collection of plain white dresses too- so glamorous. But I cant for the life of me remember the exact name. And the internet is being useless with spelling suggestions right now.
The three designers I wish was there/i had seen are Balmain- lovelovelove Balmain dresses. Vera Wang- ideal wedding dress is a V. Wang and Louboutin- just because the shoes are.. out of this world amazing and the red sole is SAUCY.

Back to London. I've always known that London is full of boutiques but ive never known where to look. I found somewhere
http://www.carnaby.co.uk/static_content.cfm?page_id=20
as I was walking through Carnaby street. Whoever is reading this, I recommend Style Showroom and Mnini. Style Showroom has interesting Jewelry- at a good price too. There was a good sale when i went in- and it isnt even sale season. The dress collection is superrrrr. I recommend it if you're a teen or in your 20's. Mnini- not too much choice- but still! Definitely worth a look round. Unique garments there.
They are on the first floor and on opposite ends. Very tasteful clothes indeed! There are loads of little places on roads near oxford street- little roads. Some were so expensive. One said 'SALE' and i went in.. it was empty and there were about 4 assistants. I looked at the sles clothing and all were well over my budget. They were just anxiously watching. I had to sort of pretend to be deciding whether to get an item or not.. it was unfortunate. But all the shop assistants in general are very nice! Nicer than i was expecting for some reason.
And you know when you see people's 'my style' pages in magazines? You know.. like when some individuals wear really bright colours and socks with heels and that kind of thing.. and they say 'i wear this kind of thing every day'. Well i never really believed them- in winchester i dont really see it.. but there were so many people who dress like that in london! And it looked really good- just casual. like this kind of thing http://i55.tinypic.com/11aehw5.jpg
Ive loved London since forever- but i really have fallen in love with it now. Its just amazing- it might even be as good as New York City for me.. it's so glamorous. wwwwwwwooaaaaaoaah i havent felt this way about anywhere since new york.
