London was amazing, as usual. I love the cold industrial polluted breeze blowing through the tiny space between the airplane and the connecting corridor thing (what's it called?!). I had a nice family weekend filled with joyous conversations, delicious food, and plenty of shopping. I wasn't too pushed about going to all my favorite shops because I'll be heading back there next weekend!
I shopped in Topshop & H&M on Oxford street, Carnaby street, Brick lane, and Camden town. Not so bad for a weekend! I'll have more time next weekend to go to all the other places I wanted to visit. What made it better was that I was shopping with my mom! That's always fun. I bought a few things here and there. I got some tops and tights from Topshop, some vintage items from Camden and Brick lane, and 5 pairs of shoes. Yes...five....all on Sunday.
I went to the Irregular choice boutique on Carnaby street with some friends, then took my family there on Sunday. I must be cursed with a toxic admiration of shoes. My first pairs of Irregular Choice were my metallic blue glass heeled swan shoes bought back in 2004.
I tried more than 10 pairs in the boutique, and I have a feeling I wrecked the sales assistant's head a little. The shop was so beautiful..so me! It was colorful and vibrant, with polka dots, florals, neon, glitter and everything else you can think of sprinkled on the shoes. I love the fact that they make everything pretty.. from the shop itself, to the shoes, to the shoeboxes, and even their bags. In the end, I settled on 4 pairs. I got 2 pairs of flats, 1 pair of sandal boots, and a pair of heels. They even gave me free cupcake luggage tags and bunny/unicorn stickers! My love for Irregular Choice just keeps growing and growing...
Irregular Choice floral/red velvet shoes.. I love the triangle shaped heels.
Irregular Choice embroided sandal boots.
Irregular Choice gold woven flats with bubble gum pink ribbon and pastel yellow bow.
The Blythe for Irregular Choice red/white polka dots shoes with white ruffle trims.I bought the fifth pair from the shop Sniff. They are oh-so-comfy pairs of turquoise plastic pairs with 3 buckle straps from Vivienne Westwood for Melissa.
Jen and I have been gawking at this collection for ages. I was hoping I'd see the plastic sandals with the heart in the front, but maybe next weekend?My excuse.... The shoes had to be saved.
Happy shoe dreams.
