Walking around

Walking around London today i decided to start this blog.
Well, if you are from London or live in London you probably understand why anyone in this city can easily become obsessed with fashion.
If you don't live here, let me explain.
Walking around London is like watching a playback of the last 30 years of London/Paris/New York fashion shows. You will see so much diversity in the way people dress that one, if easily distracted, might lose track of the year we're actually in.
The 80's seem to ALWAYS be in vogue in London ( this avid blogger does not do 80's though...never!), you will see the " i didn't brush my hair this morning" style, the "I am related to the Queen style" , the " if only i could buy that Isabel Marant leather trousersi would be so happy" style(ME!)...anyway, there are millions of people walking arround London right this moment, and they all have a different style ( or lack of).
London is also one of the best cities in the world for shopping and I had 2 very different shopping experiences today. First, i went to Selfridges, where sometimes i allow my mind to wander and imagine a perfect world where i own 5 different thench coats from Burberry , those amazing military trousers from Balenciaga, the A/W 10 Alexander McQueen boots ( in all colours!)...(if only i had joined sugardaddy.com as instructed by my friends).My trip to Selfridges today had no particular aim, maybe check the new shoe hall, buy some chocolate and run.But, obviously , it didnt go like that...
You might have notice in the pages of all fashion magazines that the must have item for this winter is a CAPE. I'm definitely not the type of fashionista who will go for something just because Ana Wintour told me to, but a cape, i must say, it's something i've been desiring for a very long time. As any experienced shopper would do, i've been researching for my purchase. My first choice was the Giambattista Valli in beige  and Aquascutum in Black, however, because i don't own a flat and therefore can't sell it in order to raise funds for these 2 essential items i had to resign to the choice of finding a high street alternative. Few weeks ago, i finally found my match in a Topshop camel cape. Because i was broke at the time after spending my whole summer shopping and drinking and shopping to go drinking and drinking to go shopping...i didn't buy the Topshop cape at a more than reasonable price, went to Selfridges today and found a cape that was so perfect i could marry it, and i will tell you all about it...tomorrow.Night Night
