THE FOREVER SHOP AT SELFRIDGES...

We couldn’t help but squeal with joy when we heard Selfridges was launching Forever shop, a pop up shop dedicated to things which last the test of time. Everything from Levi’s 501s, Cartier bracelets, McQueen scarf’s, Burberry Macs, Repetto ballet pumps, Converse trainers to Christian Louboutin stilettos….the list goes on.

Basically everything you ever want to treasure your whole life in one room! Oh dear god, we go weak at the knees just thinking about it.

The only down side is that the pop up shop, folds down on August 15th. Keep it up we say!

DO YOU WANT TO GO FASTER?

Whilst shopping in Selfridges I stumbled across this FASTER Cobweb knit dress. Faster is designed by Canadian designer Mark Fast and has a strong celebrity following, it is even rumored that Rihanna flew over from America just for one of the sample sales. The dress is expensive at £540 but once you try it on you will not be able to resist. In fact the whole collection is pretty special!

But if like me you don’t have a spare £500 then head down to Topshop where Mark has just launched a new collection at less than half the price. The collection is made up for four dresses and one skirt and they all in the style of his signature holey knitwear. Great news for those of us without the celebrity wages!
