Sneaker Love

I used to hate Sneakers, Trainers and every sporty looking shoe. But now I kinda love them. Funny how quickly things can change. Sneakers are comfy and can be pretty stylish as well as you can see above. These golden beauties by Rupert Sanderson waited for me and screamed: Take me with you - So I did. Thank god that the winter SALE is still going on.

Name Search at Chanel

Just so you know: I am looking for the black calfskin leather Espadrilles with the silver Camelia Flower on the CC Logo in size 39! There you have it - I am calling Chanel several times a week at several Central London Stores but none of them receive them or I am to late and they have already sold out on the one in my size by 10:30 in the morning (they open at 10). That is as quickly as tickets to the soccer worldcup finale. I know the comparison is strange Soccer and Chanel but just to give you an idea how hard it is to get these shoes. Unbelievable. At the Sloane Street Chanel Boutique I checked the other day - No luck. But I spotted something else. A wall full of names. These names are the most popular first names in the US and instantly I was looking for mine.

Lokum Istanbul on Walton Street

Here is one more Sweet Treat Guide Location. The Lokum Istanbul Store sells the best turkish delights in the city. I don't know anything about turkish delights but I can tell from the demand of the arab women in London that they love it because they buy them in bulk. 

Sweet Treat Guide London: Angres de Sucre

Sorry Berlin Lovers, but after a week in Berlin, I am so happy to be back in London. I missed London so much especially since everything is so christmassy and pretty. And I missed my cute little shops and cafés that I visit regularly. Angres de Sucre is one of them. I absolutely love the macarons and other sweets they have in their Kensington shop.

Berlin Label to watch : Lala Berlin

There is one more store that I would like to show you. It is just around the corner from Kaviar Gauche and is beautiful. They not only sell their own label, it is a hip concept store that has it all. 

The ultimate Shopping Basket

Girls like to shop - that's a fact. But with this Chanel Shopping Basket I would go even more crazy. This is on my most wanted list and honestly I would also take the pink little thing inside! It's Christmas soon, hopefully Santa knows what to bring me.

Shopping in Bling Bling Heaven

If you have a soft spot for jewellery, I promise you that you'll go crazy in this Chelsea Boutique. Butler & Wilson celebrate their 45th anniversary this year, so they have been in the vintage and jewellery business long enough to know what's good. This store will blow your mind.

Spotted : Victoria Beckham Store in Mayfair

Today I have something really special for you. I went to the new Flagship Store of Victoria Beckham. Precisely one week after the store opening in Mayfair and I thought I would maybe meet the designer in store. Since she could not attend her own opening, I thought she has to turn up eventually but I was wrong. 

Getting ready for VOGUE Fashion's Night Out 2014

The next big fashion event is about to begin. The VOGUE Fashion's Night Out will be in London tonight. So get your plastic ready and plan your route. 

Shopping : The 5 best Department Stores in London

London is a shopping paradies, that's for sure. You can spend your money pretty quick, but also in a very stylish way. Buying flowers at Liberty, white Asparagus and truffles at Harrods Food Hall, Marriage Frères Tea at Selfridges, Korres Jasmine Body Lotion at Harvey Nichols or a luxury picnic basket at Fortnum & Mason. Theses five major department stores have a lot to offer and their concepts are quite different and unique. I love them all, that's why I will introduce them to you and will guide you on what to buy in which department store. Next Monday the series will kick off with Fortnum & Mason on Piccadilly.
