Kensington High Street Fashion This Week

I just can't get enough of Kensington High Street. Everytime I walk around there is something new. Apart from the ambience of the area, it is such a pleasant place to shop.

Tonight I went around a bit late.. as in the shops were actually closed already but I enjoyed snapping displays from Gap, H&M, Marks and Spencer, Aldo and Russell & Bromley.

What did I see? Lovely winter outfits... tights... and loads of fashionable tights... boots, scarves, pullovers.... and many more. To give you an idea.... please scroll down....

Black is Back!

Last week, I walked around Knightsbridge to see what's on the shop windows and found a lot of vibrant colours. Most high street and middle range designers had bright pinks, purples and royal blues. Those among who displayed colours were H&M, Zara, Benetton (of course), bits from Harrods, Gap, Jaeger and DKNY.

This week I went to Sloane Street to see....my favourite colour....BLACK!

Scrumptuous display from Chloe, Armani, Emilio Pucci, Dolce & Gabbana and Chanel were on Show. Can't help but stare and admire the classic designs detailed with eccentric creativity.

Indeed Black is Black and is back and here to stay!

See the photos for yourself and you do the evaluation.....

What's new in Oxford Street, London this week

This week as I walked from Marble Arch to Selfridges, I took a few snaps of what's on display in the fashion district on London.

Here I found bright vibrant colours such as bright yellows, shocking pinks, vibrant reds and purples.

The common style was the sexy punk but some futuristic 80's as well.

The rain poured down and I stopped at Selfridges where the display was not just mere futuristic 80's but uber futuristic window display fast forward to the year 2109, that is 100 years from now. It resembles the colours assigned to the futuristic 80's with more extreme headwear and accessories. Selfridges is well-known for its window displays and hence the most creative of the crop has to come up with something unique and striking every time.

Weekend at Brick Lane London

Brick Lane is popular for its markets. Various events run in Brick Lane month after month - some of these are the London Accessory Sale, Sunday Upmarket, Pop Up Arts and Crafts Market, CHili Crab Festival, Designer Sample Sale, Secret Sample Sale and many more.

Apart from the special events, Sunday is the liveliest amongst the days of the week. Huge Market halls offer a wide range of bargain fashion items sold by up and coming designers. The street vendors in Brick Lane are one of the popular ones because they are not like any other street vendors in other cities of the world. Most of them are young fashionistas raising cash through the sale of their unwanted fashion items. They sit along the pavements dressed in their fashionable outfits and accessories plus hairstyle!

Walking through Brick Lane is like in another world. From Osborn Street, one Indian Restaurant after another and then once you have reached the Truman Brewery... things change... London's finest and bravest fashionistas all over the place. Amazing hair styles and the London look that makes you "wow". No wonder many smart American tourists visit Brick Lane on a Sunday and bring back stories about London Fashion back in America.

On the downside, some are just too OTT (Over The Top) - as in too brave to wear funny things. Some do it because they want to start a fad but some are just simply weird. Anyways, the good ones still rule and count for the majority.

So to those who want a good peek of London Fashion, visit Brick Lane on a Sunday!
