It's always the right decision to invest in flat shoes. Yes, exactly, invest! All girls consider fancy fashion stuff as investments. They even calculate its depreciation (only woman's logic works here) and cost-per-wear :) I know, I know. We get a little bit overexcited about fashion. But sometimes you have to prove yourself and everyone around the reason behind your 4th pair of designer shoes per month or the bag you order despite its crazy custom fee, when heart thinks while brain surrenders. Men will never understand.
So, I was looking through some investment opportunities online and found out a lot of portfolios. Let's calculate the risk and... choose the one you like. After all, it's about the pleasure behind its comfort and catchy looks for us ;)
I can't imagine any fashionista visiting London and NOT going to Harrods. Let's just accept it as a fact and never return to this matter. Because Harrods is one of the biggest and oldest department stores in Europe with history dating back to 19th century. It has a few distinguishing points like the building, first ever escalator, food hall, shoe heaven etc. that make Harrods to stand out among all other department stores. Lately they renovated shoe department and named it Shoe Heaven. That is the story I want to tell.
It's been more than 6 months that I left London the last time and missed shopping there very much. That is why when I went to Knightsbridge (the part of London where Harrods is) the music playing in my head was the following song from famous TV series:
The reason is because you actually feel like a leading female character from a movie or TV show at the moment where she decides to go shopping and change her life :) So in this case background music is necessary. I was going to buy a bag, a pink bag to be precise. Apparently I hadn't had one till then (can you imagine?). After browsing the ground floor AND the lower ground floor I found what I wanted but decided to look through shoe department before taking what I came for. Just in case asked a sales assistant which floor shoe department is on and got this answer: 'You mean Shoe Heaven? On the 5th'. I thought it was only words until I got there. They changed it completely that I couldn't even recognise. It actually was a shoe heaven for any woman that ever laid eyes on designer shoes. I was wandering in the Heaven and admiring the latest collections presented there. Departments got bigger, wider, brighter. Christian Louboutin and Manolo Blahnik had these fake departments where you can see shoes and suppose that it is the boutique, but when you ask for your size they tell you to go further. You feel like you are being teased and invited to see more of these feet candy by trick. I headed straight to Manolo Blahnik and it was like finding a treasure among other gems. You reach the short stairs and they lead you to the attics with the world of Manolo. Then during your fitting process (everything happens so naturally that you have no idea how you ended up here) sales assistant tells you that 2 days ago the master himself was there and signed shoes... Couple minutes later you find yourself paying for the black satin jewelled Nadira pumps and trying to realise that pink bag is gone now... Long story short: after the Shoe Heaven I choose shoes to the bag I actually came for.
I'm obsessed with their shows, designs, hairstyles, acessories and every little details... It's Dolce and Gabbana Spring/Summer 2014 runway show and its backstage.
Dolce & Gabanna... a window to a wrold of lace, gold and classic italian chic. Too many words have been said. It's time just to contemplate the beauty.
