All about London


Selfridges Preen 



Exploring London's diverse shops lead me first to Selfridges where both designer and high street live. Preen's geometric shapes stood out the most especially with it's bold colours although the gold headpiece distracted me from the detail of this garment.

  Oxfam Boutique 



This boutique's window display showcased this crochet dress against a newspaper mannequin showing how quirky and fun vintage shopping can be. 

Dover Street Market




On the first floor of Dover Street Market's store the garments were displayed against bare brick walls and wooden cabinets making Junya Watanabe's black collection in particular look powerful.

Burberry


Burberry was my next shop where high ceiling's and mirrored walls reflected the famous caramel coats. I Like the printed scarf against the coat creating an alternative look.

BlueBird





The minute I stepped foot into Bluebird I was overwhelmed by how much space was layered out particular for just one garment such as the jacket dangling down from the horses mouth.  However the lights hanging down from the menswear department was the real beauty, this made sure I could see every little stitch and detail on any item of clothing.

Liberty


Walking into Liberty felt like an experience rather than being in an actual shop, this historical building with the vintage staircase adds character into all of the item on sale. What I LOVE most is Liberty's wide range of prints. The cotton materials shown in this image would be perfect for a dress in Spring/Summer 15.

Topshop


My final destination was Topshop where Marques Almeida's collection took centre stage in Oxford street's branch.  The green two piece stood out for me against the shocking pink furry bag.
