So the blog has been down again for the last few days because I’ve been in London again, but anyway I’m back but here’s what I got up to.
So first day I arrived we went to the UCAS fair, and I got to chat to people from the London College of Fashion and Central St.Martins and I have decided I definitely want to go to one of those Unis!
Then it was back to the Generator Hostel in Russel Square, which wasn’t as bad as I thought it was, The drinks were cheap there so I was up late getting drunk!
Anyway Next day (Slightly hungover) we went to see the Pop Art Exhbit in the Tate. Photography was banned otherwise I would have some awesome pictures to show you. But anyone who can should check out Pop Life at the Tate Modern if they get the chance.
Then on the tube to Old Street to see a Banksy and do some shopping!
So we found this Banksy piece on the wall, and I had a picture with it. I had to fight with that bloody bush though, who the fuck puts a bush in front of a Banksy!? And I know I look a mess, It was windy and I was soo tired!
Anyway there are some good vintage shops around the area so we went to check them out, the first we came accross and probably my fave was Paper Dress.
It was cute inside, it was like I was in the 1950′s even the lady behind the counter was dressed like she was from the 50′s and the best part was most definitely the Vintage cash register!
After theere we headed up to find Beyond Retro. Apparently its where the likes of Kate Moss, Beth Ditto and Noel Fielding like to shop. I remain un-impressed, there was a few nice things in there but everything smelt of old people, it just wasn’t for me, but if you are into second hand shopping it is definitely one of the best places to visit.
Then it was off to Oxford street and probably my favorite shop ever…Digitaria!
The other side of the window display is currently by Gemma Slack but the photos didn’t take properly. I went in again but had no money to buy anything I just love to look at the clothes in there, and oggle at the Katie Eary shoes I craaavvee!! Unfortunatly there is no Gallery downstairs at the moment.
Anyways further Down oxford street I finally got to check out the Jimmy Choo for H&M, I only Had time to look at the menswear though because I was the only one in the group interested in seeing it. But here’s some blurry pics I managed to snap including a picture of the boots I almost bought but they didn’t have them in my size
After that it was back to the Generator and another slightly drunk night, which is why there are no pictures from yesterday, because I was dying and ate dodgy Thai food. FYI if you’re ever around Tottenham Court Road and you see a place called Joi Buffet, DO NOT go inside, it tastes like vomit!
So I was in Cardiff picking up materials for my November Project (Comming soon!) and took some snaps for the Jimmy Choo Window Display. Kinda boring yeah… but anyway at least I got to see it all close up, and managed to resist the urge to break through the glass, grab it all and run!
And the launch is this Saturday! Unfortunately I can’t get the time of work to go check out this event for myself, but if someone does go send me some pictures if you can
Well here we have it, the complete collection of the Jimmy Choo line for H&M, and I have to admit I do like it, the Menswear is a little dull, but I doubt any one cares about that. it’s all about the shoes!
Planning on going to H&M to get your very own cheap Jimmy Choo’s on the 14th of November? Well you should take a look at these first, the Jimmy Choo shopping rules -
What do I do if I arrive before opening hours?
If there is a line, please wait in line and H&M store staff will inform you how to shop.
How does the queing system work?
The first 160 people in line will receive a bracelet; on the bracelet you will be given a specific time for shopping in our designated area. The bracelets are only needed for the women’s shoes, bags and accessories. Customers shopping the men’s collection or the women’s garments will not require a bracelet.
When your time has come, we will let you into the designated area to shop. Our goal is to create a better shopping experience for all of our customers.
If you are not one of the 160 first in line, you will of course have the opportunity to shop from the rest of collection or within H&M. After about two hours we will also open up the designated area for all of our customers.
To make sure as many customers as possible are able to buy from the Jimmy Choo for H&M collection, we have a limitation. Every customer can buy the whole collection but with a limitation of buying maximum one per product, i.e. not more than one size (shoes/garments) or piece (accessories) per product per customer. The limitation covers the whole Jimmy Choo for H&M Collection. Your place in line does not guarantee any items from the Jimmy Choo for H&M collection.
If I can get the time off work I know i’ll be at the Cardiff store possibly picking up my sister an early Christmas present, as they unfortunately won’t be selling the menswear at the Cardiff store. I’ll have to be there early as I HAVE to get into the bag and shoe room!
Don’t get me wrong I love abit of H&M but i thought Jimmy Choo was a bit more classy than this. The stuff looks great but why go with H&M, unless Jimmy Choo isn’t doing so well in these times :/
