Window Loving: Shoe Carnival At Selfridges

selfridges shoe carnival 6 Window Loving: Shoe Carnival At Selfridges %tag

Fairground season has come early at Selfridges as the London department store has transformed its windows into a fun carnival scene featuring some of the amazing shoes it has to offer in its huge footwear department.

From a high-heel clad Ferris wheel to a revolving hi-top helter skelter, and even trainers ride the dodgems – the windows are completely genius and fun. I love the perspex heeled boots on the high striker and the kissing wedges in the kissing booth!!!

Christmas Windows: A Trip Down London’s Bond Street

Cartier christmas Christmas Windows: A Trip Down Londons Bond Street %tag

I love Christmas and one of my favourite activities is to wander around London and check out all the amazing window displays. I love how retailers always step up their creativity and this year is no exception. I will be bringing you the wonders of the department stores such as SelfridgesLiberty London and Harrods, but first I wanted to take you on a trip down London’s Bond Street and bring you my favourite festive displays from the likes of Mulberry, Ralph Lauren, Tiffany’s, and Cartier who have literally wrapped up their store.

Tiffany & Co:

Basically this is a look inside the perfect Tiffany & Co town house - starting with the Tiffany blue door to the striking chandelier, and the grand entrance. I think Barbie would definitely approve!!!

Next up is a white Christmas courtesy of Ralph Lauren, who have dressed their windows in a dramatic winter wonderland full of glamour – and while taking the pictures I was even treated to a choir singing Christmas carols – very festive.

Mulberry has gone all gold, scattering its windows with oversized padlocks, keys and Christmas cards to place inside the Mulberry postbox.

One of the highlights of my Bond Street wander had to be the Fenwick windows, which were dark, sparkly and very different – I loved the Gothic edge and how the clothes and accessories reflected in the wall covered baubles.

Window Loving: Louis Vuitton and Yayoi Kusama Take Over Selfridges

SelfridgesLV14 Window Loving: Louis Vuitton and Yayoi Kusama Take Over Selfridges %tag

I love it when fashion and art collides, more so when the takeover is so intense, and you can’t get any more all-consuming than Louis Vuitton and Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama bringing their monograms and dotty approach to life across 24 windows at Selfridges.

I knew it was coming but I still wasn’t prepared for the wow factor of seeing Louis Vuitton’s highly anticipated exclusive Kusama collection takeover Selfridges’ large windows on Oxford Street. If you haven’t been by to see, do, it is stunning, and take it from me walk from the Orchard Street end of Selfridges as you will be able to follow Kusama’s ‘Love Forever’ poem, which has inspired the display, in both English and Japanese.

If you aren’t familiar with the poem here it is, as well as a few snaps I took on my HTC One X of the windows – I truly wished I lived in a permanent polka dot world!!!

Stars, the earth, I and you: we are but one polka dot

To a shining future

Budding love

All about my great happiness

Fashionably dressed up

Let’s go and see out boyfriends in high heels

I, in high heels

Love Forever

Project 365: Day 126 – The Mulberry Zoo Windows

Day126  Project 365: Day 126   The Mulberry Zoo Windows %tag

Everytime I see a new window at Mulberry’s New Bond Street store I stand and stare, seriously insane visual merchandising, which instantly adds a smile to my face.

We all know this a cool brand from its incredible fashion week presentations, the stunning ad campaigns, the fact that it names its bags after the fashionable popular girls, and the amazing parties they seem to throw, and what I love is that the brand ethos seems to trickle down into every section of the business and this is certain evident in their zoo themed window display at the moment.

Are you a fan of Mulberry’s windows?

Project 365: Day 45 – Window Dressing By Ralph and Russo

Day45 Project 365: Day 45   Window Dressing By Ralph and Russo %tag

Ahead of the LFW madness it seems Coutts has decided to dress up its headquarters on The Strand with a gorgeous red silk crepe strapless ballroom gown designed by Ralph & Russo. I just love how fashion can really make you smile and this certainly does brighten up any financial institute – I also love the styling of the window with the mirrors.

In Pictures: Mulberry Continues To Make Me Smile

windows6 In Pictures: Mulberry Continues To Make Me Smile %tag

I love that Mulberry changes its shop windows so regularly, only last month I snapped its use of the oversized ice-cream cone seen in the SS12 campaign, and this week’s Bond Street store is continuing the Brighton seaside theme. The windows have stuck with the ice-cream cone but it has added some of fav beach treats - an ice lolly complete with the tragic, un-funny joke, Brighton rock, and giant fish and chips – I am just in love with the Mulberry branded fork.

The visual merchandisers really are having fun with the spring/summer campaign and even though I was shivering when I took these snaps they totally made me smile.

So Mulberry tell me – what did the banana say to the other banana?

Festive Windows: Alexander McQueen Fantasy Box

mcqueen1 Festive Windows: Alexander McQueen Fantasy Box %tag

London retailers really have put together some amazing visual treats this festive season, I loved the Swarovski forest at Harrods, Selfridges’ interpretation of a white Christmas, and Liberty’s 12 days of Christmas. When I walked by Alexander McQueen’s boutique on Old Bond Street I was completely blown away by its fantasy box festive display. If Santa grants me one wish this year it would have to be a McQueen dress!!!!
