LoVe>>>♥♥♥♥ToppEr'S 'ANTELOPE' in LeoParD

"Who knew high street shoes could cause such a stir? Meet up with these shoes and their owner, who can only be described as 'Legs 11' in her denim cut-offs. Legs and I pounded the pavements of Londres in search of my 'wedding shoes' and never have I witnessed such hysteria and mayhem. Especially from a pair of Topper's wedges, leopard print or not. People whispered, stared and pointed. Legs didn't seem to notice but I was fluxomed by the admiration and in some silly cases, negativity these delights were causing. Jealous eyes! First up, Legs, me and the wedges took ourselves to Laduree in Cov Gards (more on this later) as we needed a wedding shoe plan of attack. The strokable wedges cried expense and made Legs look like an even bigger star than she is. The waiters weren't sure, what with their French polished style but other guests admired the courageous fashion efforts. Afterwards, steps were tottered towards Liberty's but first Legs and I popped to the new M&M world. Soo hip, I know, nut we were on a macaroon high. People literally were wild in here. Legs was ambushed and had the shoes photographed without even being asked. Tsk. Blatant foreign buyer or something, stealing her style. He did at least say thanks. Walking on, people talked non-stop about the wedges, some good, some bad and some laughing (how dare they)...but I've never seen a fashion item attract so much attention.

Onwards. Walking all the way, showing their comfort and wearibility (hence the 5 star rating they get on Topper's website) we wound up at Louboutin. On Mount Street. This after having witnessed Legs draped across the Louboutin sofa in Selfridges with my Chanel bag in hand, looking all modelly and expensive in her shoes, helping me decide on a pretty pair of pumps. Hers could have been Loub's. Easy. It was from this point we got stalked. Some pervy business man, we walked by him, then he followed us, cat called and asked us if we were from London and what's more asking Leg's if her shoes were infact Louboutins. He even said 'they look like they are on you'. As if he cared, he wanted a piece. What a goon. Bye-bye.

Legs and I ended meeting the lovely Lashes in a Fitzrovia park for some tinnies of cocktails. The wedges were finally taken off. Underneath all the glamour and excitement of these Topshop Antelope's were Umbro men's sock's. Keeping it real. Love it. And so typically Legs.

 Should you want to get all this attention it'll cost ya a mere £80...and they come in Zebra. Need both.

raMblingz OF a PerSonAL sHoPPeR/////////

Ahhh. Shopping today was a delight. Walking the floors, despite all the 'mini shoppers' that were present due to the school holidays, one could sense an excellent purchase was upon the consuming horizon. Sniff sniff. Monsoon is where we were drawn. Sale was messy yet hidden with gems and diamonds amongst the rough. A beautiful Fusion line top surfaced and was snapped up. All a-line and summery. Perfect for today's weather and mood. Broderie anglais edged. Powder blue, Egyptian cotton. You get the gist....onwards we swept, upstairs.
New season stock happily shined and swung from silver chrome hangers. And there she was in her floral glory, basking under the soft lighting, sweetly. Dusky mink in colour, tinged with duck egg blue and turquoise with a hint of black thrown in for eclecticism. A sequin silver clutch thrown in. An outfit of dreams was created. A ceramic bird ornament also snapped up for funsies....

Topshop....& Miss Selfridge Project #1 Want both. Not the weather for them. Don't care...

ShOp ReporT>>>PrimarNi....OxfoRD St

This store and I go waaaaaay back....think day 1 when she first had her doors trampled down, oh yea, I was there. Not in the queue mind, oh no, feck that. I got the bus down from Toppers on me lunch break to laugh at the hysteria and try and push in the front of the queue. That didnt happen. Policeman told us off but I did witness the madness. I also vowed not to return until the ridiculousness had ceased.


I frequent here, weekdays or late nights only to avoid mania but have to say, queues look frighteningly long but go quickly. Staff are crap but I would be too if worked for minimum wage in the centre of hell all day. It is what it is. Cheap clothes. Hunt and you'll find gems and this is my kind of shopping. i expect nothing to last from here but am thrilled when something does (my gold sequin bolero of five years is to be a family heirloom). Dont bother with the shoes unless you want blisters and your feet to smell like vinegar. Accessories are a must, not the bags though, cheap looking shite. Vile. Avoid prints at all costs unless you know its one that you wont see on every ones backs. I store stuff and dont wear until like year later, that way you can bet ya bottom dollar peeps wont be wearing it and will be well jels of it.

Seen.

EDITeD>>>♥♥♥♥Topper's AW/11 L@@Kbook

Topshop have pulled out all stops for AW/11. Grunge it up people. Here's SE's edit from le LookBook....

ShOp ReporT>>>UrBaN OuTfIttErS....OxfoRD St

ahhhh, Urban. How I heart thee...yet I never can afford to buy from you in bulk as I'd wish to.... apart from the accessories, sale time or giftie poo's. She neighbours high street giant Topshop but somehow stands her ground and comes off as the better one stop shop I think. She's large but doesn't overwhelm. Her ceilings are high, she has windows, something Topshop lacks on all womenswear floors. Grim. Her sweeping staircase makes you feel hip and cool and sort of homely at the same time.

Bare brick walls feature fantastically merchandised outfits that would have Lexxi Chung Chungs weeping as she didn't think of them first. Dresses are always amazing but at the top end of the high street price range for its age market. And there is always the danger if you do plump for a pricey printed garm, you must just see if on a lot of other backs. When I purchase from here I stick to plainer, safer items as hate wearing the same as the whole of London in an obvious way. Cardi's are always ace in here. Shoes, not so much. But the designer floor, now the shoes that lurk up there (2nd floor) are the types to anger Mr Barclays but worth the bollocking he might give you. Well edited designs and designers scatter the floor, in a spaced out luxe feel. Uber chic.

Urban's music is always banging and they sell what they play so you don't have to feel all loserish going 'what is this music you play' it's all here.

Home-ware. I love it. Bit over priced but I buy it all the same. Perfect for gifts. Their cards and gift wrap are always worth a look too. Book wise, wait for the sales as amazon is waaay cheaper. But they are so tempting of a lunch break shop.

Accessories, here lies my weakness. Necklaces, rings, watches, sunnies, belts, bags lined the whole store, waiting for you at every opportunity and you simply can not help but buy. Don't fight it, there's no point. Its all great tat that you'll love forever. Or until the next trend rocks up.

Just go there tourists and Londoners alike, you must. I always go to every store when in the states too.
