| very precisely organised vintage shop ~ colour, pattern ranges hung up on rales - if you are after something in a specific colour or decade Brick Lane is a great spot to make you happy and spend the coins - best of luck hunting for the right garment to complete a colour coordinated outfit ! |

| Street decoration on Carnaby Steet looks lush, worth having a look
Carnaby Steet is a good street to escape the masses of people around Central London. It is more calm, has cafes as well.

Uni mates outside Vintage shops having a deep talk about today's fashion trends that took inspiration from different decades
Halloween is near - Shop Beyond Retro is already stocking scary garments for early bird party planners
BEYOND RETRO has three shops in London - in Shoreditch, Dalston and Soho. The Dalston one is the biggest, its massive, followed by the Shoreditch. I would say they have most variety of different styles, decades, pattern of any Vintage shops in London. Prices are pretty high though for used clothing. 
Borderline - very extraordinaire, pretty outgoing street style shop on Brick Lane as well. I really like the simple and dominant illustrations on the clothes and some future oriented details such as big zips and big rings on garments.
 
Borderline garments - early evening light
Bright, flashy shop window of Rokit Vintage - Brick Lane, also in Camden
 
Absolute Vintage - used to be favourite spot to find clothes
They have got a huge variety of vintage finds ranging from 20's to 90's Great to come if you are hunting for something in particular like a sort of wedding dress or pleated skirt -- they would advise you well and it is really well set up. Good luck finding luck 
A more glamourous, deluxe looking window -- in Angel/Highbury & Islington
Pictures weren't allowed in there though. ------- I am now switching over from East London to Central. I am beginning with the famous shopping street - Oxford Street - 
Oxford Street during day time
-- LIBERTY --
only a step away from Oxford Street near Carnaby Street you will find the LIBERTY department store that is important for London's development of the Arts & Crafts movement. - there are luxury goods, treasures in areas of art material, clothing, textiles, accessories, parfumery, homeware and food to find. You can find Liberty open on Great Marlborough street from 10:00 - 20:00 
Newburgh N Quarter also Central London, in City of Westminster
 
View of Regent Street to show you readers the area a little.
Luxury shops are to find there too.  
Details of garments I found exiting, inspiring in Liberty.
The embroidery and beading is something I enjoy doing myself. 
Marques' Almeida - one of my favourite fashion labels.
I adore all the freyed denim pieces, oversize jackets, exiting denim inventions. 
Acne Studios is a swedish company brought to live by Jonny Johansson in Stockholm, 1997
ACNE is used a lot in fashion magazines for editorials nowadays 
Something sparkly that caught my eye in LIBERTY.
Great embroidery on a patterned jacket by Gucci
Textile section with especially for Liberty designed Fabrics
Floral, small patterned fabrics are famous for their collection.  
Fashion Magazines outside Liberty at a small street side shop, I like that they are accessable in many places around London
Selfridges windows showing designers comments on the 'Shakespeare Refashioned' campaign
 
In Selfridges - details of garments with Textiles I found extraordinaire and inspiring for my own future work.
Shirt by Dolce & Gabbana   
Those shirts, blouses, jackets were my favourites in the whole Selfridges fashion deparment, fabrics go so nicely with the colours and shapes. I was feeling blushed and wish I could own those
  
Yuliya Magdych - floral, patterned embroidery on blouses showing a nice range of colours
  
Such a sick illustration done with beads on some denim trousers, I am in love but would worry I would rip it or even scared to sit down.

I like the detail of the belt a lot.
BURBERRY shop window -- on the way to Harrods near Green Park, West London
Inside of Burberry, I seemed a little strange walking in the shop as it is not my kind of price range but people were nice and let me take pictures. I even got the door opened for me. A bit too much for my taste but it has been an interesting experience, one of another kind. Also being surrounded by sculptures made a me feel a bit like if I was in a museum. Maybe the intention of Burberry was to make customers feel very patient when looking at the clothes. I wouldn't feel like touching clothes really as I am not allowed to touch the sculptures too. It somehow had that effect on me.
Last stop of the day - HARRODS -
Harrods departemnt store in Brompton Road in Knightsbridge
It was found in 1834 in East End and it known all over the world. Like Liberty it is a luxury goods department store where you find products of different kinds of satisfaction from all over the world. Definitely have a look when you are around.  
~ Pretty beading on Ives Saint Laurent garment ~
  
Loving the floral print
 
I really like the sides made up in silky fabric
