When you go out shopping in London, you can't help but notice the effort people put into making the windows look good. What they do is creating art. Especially in the big shops like Harrods, Selfridges, Debenhams, Harvey Nicks, you get to enjoy looking at clothes and shoes just by walking outside.
Harvey Nickols
Harvey Nicks is in the same area as Harrods, in Knightsbridge, and whilst there are plenty of reasons to visit Harrods for the history, the interior and the Food Halls (oh la la, the food in there!), if you want to enjoy shopping all the big brands, go to Harvey Nicks to avoid the queues and the hundred tourists, taking photos of everything and slowing you down. I mean, I was one of them plenty of times, but it's getting annoying after a while. HN is quiet, luxurious and you can browse for hours through Chloe clothes, Louboutin shoes, Chanel bags and on the ground floor there's every cosmetic you could wish for. Top floor holds beautiful Champagne bars, delicious sandwiches and small cafes with desserts and coffes. Not to mention the selection of food they have there from all over the world. Last time I went there I eyed some butterflies made of sugar and a collection of cupcakes with edible glitter! All that and many more, but time for some window shopping....

Selfridges
ENVY the Burberry Prorsum Aviator Jacket
(the one that everyone goes crazy about this fall, do you think you could wear it? I can't figure out a way to style it, or it's just because my style is very different right now)
FIXATE the Nicholas Kirkwood Metallic shoes
(hello lover!)
WANT the Miu Miu print dress
(at this point I want to say that they did an amazing job selecting the most amazing pieces)
ADORE the Lanvin necklace
BRIGHT BOLD MATTE Nars Red Lipstick
Anything special windows you saw and you still remember? For me I'll always remember a christmas tree at Benetton windows in Tsimiski St were they used tiny colourful tshits instead of xmas decorative balls. It just looked so cute!
