London is shop paradise. There are thousands of places were you can find exclusive brands, vintage clothes, multinationals or goth accesories.
The most popular place to shop is Oxford Street, although it's mostly multinationals. At the beggining (if you start from the right side of the street, opposite to Hyde Park), you can find American Aparell, which is modern, minimalist clothing although the price varies from low to high). There is also a very big Primark, H&M ad many other multinationals. Totally recommend stopping at Urban Outfitters, which you can also find in Camden, where you can find very stylish or vintage clothing at a medium cost, also, you can find weird but fun books, many books and home stuff (chains, cushions, carpets...).
After you arrive to Oxford circus and you can head down to Regent Street, where the more posh shops are. There is Hamleys, a luxury toyshop with amazing felttips (shoutout to the guy who let me try them) and it has the most awesome toys ever but way too expensive. By the way this is very important because everyone who goes there is like "Where the heck is Victoria's Secret??!!" and it's not too hard to find. You have to go to Regent Street from Oxford Circus and go into the first St on the left (I think the name is Prince St. or something like that) and you keep going until you reach Hanover Square and go round it to Brook Street, keep going and you reached it!
Back to Regent there is a Michael Kors (handbags are bae) and Juicy Couture, as well as Burberry, Zara... and Hollister which is quite a long way from Oxford Circus so don't get desperate if you do not reach it in five minutes. There is a Godiva shop, where you can buy the best belgian shopping (even shopaholics need some rest, AND FOOD).
And continuing with Oxford Street past Oxford Circus, you can find River Island, which although it sometimes seems very expensive and too futuristic, if you look well you will find extremely cute things. I got a sweater for 20 pounds and it matches lot's of my clothes and gives a classy look (i am wearing it in my post about shopping in L.A in the pic with the pink shorts at Universal). And then it's many big companies like Forever 21, Zara, Pull and Bear
etcforaloongtime until you reach Selfridges, which is a big building full of the most luxurious brands. Strongly advise you to go to Tiffany and Co which has the most fine jewellery and the employees are very nice, or take a look in the Rolex shop (there was a watch costing over 34.000 pounds). If you want something more affordable you should go to the Magnum shop where you can create your own ice cream for about 6 pounds. The Selfridges building itself is very nice and the displays in the showcase are amazing, each month they are changed and have themes and are a sight worth watching.
Then there is TOPSHOP, that i find very expensive although it has some cute things, specially shoes and accesories, but don't buy jeans or sweaters because they are expensive and you can find others much cuter in other places.
Love to all classycats xxxxxxx
