This is the most amazing shopping street in Paris. It has all the top designer stores from Louis Vuitton to Dolce & Gabanna and so many more, right through to some great cheaper European chain stores. What an experience! It stretches from the Lourve right to the Arch de Triumph, and really does live up to it's prestigious reputation.
I brought a gorgeous red satin jacket with a same fabric belt which I am wearing as write this update. I'd love to go back and browse some more, but we are off to Venice tomorrow, and we still have a bit more sightseeing on the menu.
Well, must dash, we are off to the Eiffel Tower for sunset!!
Today I went shopping at Top Shop on Oxford Street in London. Wow!! That place is so huge, and totally incredible. I didn't get nearly as long as I wanted in there, but I'm going to go back again (without a man in tow!). In the women's section there was accessories as far as the eye could see... my paradise. I noticed a bit of peasant/bohemian style in again, which I was a bit surprised at, but also quite a bit of the fluro colours and a huge 80's presence too. I saw the section that was designed by Kate Moss, which had some great pieces in. In the men's styles fluro and 80's was huge too, as were waistcoats, and great old style hats. Quite a variety in styles. Colour is big for guys. We are off to Paris tomorrow, so I'm sure that will be very inspiring. Keep tuned.
Hi from London! So far we have had an amazing time here in London seeing the sights - Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Oxford Street, Soho, Covent Gardens, The London Eye (big ferris wheel), walking along the River Thames, Tate Modern Museum/Gallery and there's still so much more to see. Very exciting. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for great London Fashion and will try to take some photos of inspiring people I see. So far I've noticed that men in London are a lot more confident with colour than our Kiwi blokes. Pastels and great colour combinations are a refreshing sight. As it's still a bit chilly here in London, with very changeable weather, I haven't seen too much of the Summer fashion for women yet, but will let you know what's around once I see it. Keep checking in, and I'll try to post regularly.
