Good morning my beloved shoppingholics,<\/span><\/p>\n

I know you’re waiting for this post! \ud83d\ude00 To be honest, one of my main reasons to go to London was shopping. Of course I was curious about the city itself but I definitely had a major interest in all London has to offer shopping wise! \ud83d\ude00 Speaking of Europe, London and Paris probably have the best and most exciting image. Berlin’s pretty nice too, but you know it’s like that: You never appreciate what you have.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I had high hopes in London’s shopping culture and was mostly satisfied. We started (and somehow also ended) our shopping trip in Oxford Street, which is a huuuge street that stretches itself through 4 underground stations. So yes, it’s a long road down shopping heaven. What surprised me the most, was, that there were only chains. No matter if it came to clothing or food: Starbucks, H&M, Forever 21, Subway and McDonald’s EVERYWHERE<\/u>. With all the little independent stores in Berlin I have to say that actually surprised me the most.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For all of you, who are travelling to London, or might wanna travel there in the future I made a map on Google Maps where I marked all stores and locations where my cousin and I went. You can access the map by clicking here: http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps\/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=<\/span>204239747316826321378.0004c8e7f6425d1c48f3a<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What stores I really recommend to shop at Oxford Street are (of course!) Topshop<\/a>, Urban Outfitters<\/a> (right next to Topshop \ud83d\ude00 ) and Dorothy Perkins<\/a>. The latter was a surprise; I just went inside because I saw a lot of girls with bags from that store. It didn’t look that promising on the first look but they really had some awesome clothes! I guess it’s one of these stores where it heavily depends on the actual collection, maybe? :> However, I loved everything they had and ended up buying a cute black (partly lace) dress. But enough words, let’s begin with why you came here! \ud83d\ude00<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For those of you who remember my wishlist I made for London you can see that I finally got the Topshop studded cardigan and a new pair of Dr Martens! These items were expensive, however, I wanted them for such a long time now that I could justify these buys for myself. Plus, I’m working! I spend my money how I want \ud83d\ude00 The belt at Urban Outfitters was love at first sight (wait a minute if you wanna see it in action.) Speaking of expensive: No matter how nice London is to shop, there are definitely a lot of cheaper places around the world. From cosmetics to clothes I didn’t even think once “Oh, look how cheap that is!”<\/i> Nope. Never<\/u>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Shine-through partly lace dress from Dorothy Perkins. This was love at first sight too! I just love the awesome details at the collar and how it’s shine through yet conceals everything. I loooove that dress so much, so glad I bought it!! ^-^ This was about 50$ if I remember right..<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Dress and belt in action! \ud83d\ude00 I also bought this necklace from Rock Rebel which is a Rockabilly company. Do I need to tell you that this was love at first sight, too…? (Necklace was about 30$ >_<“) AND LOOK AT THAT AWESOME COLLAR DETAIL!! xD I’m in love, can you tell..? \ud83d\ude00<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I also bought these cute studded loafers at Primark<\/a>. I wanted such shoes since spring, but I couldn’t fit the shoes in Japan so I am a bit behind with that trend. Usually I wouldn’t buy summer shoes in autumn but these were only 12$ and they are so comfortable too! So I reall couldn’t say no, could I?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For the clothing part, that’s all I bought<\/u>. Yep. You shocked? Well, look at all the prices! I decided to rather get myself some classy, well-made and worth-of-buying items than just buy a lot of anything<\/i>. I rather have 5 expensive pieces I really love than having 20 cheaper pieces for the same price which I won’t wear often.<\/div>\n
Funny fact: After shopping I realized that I just bought exactly one whole outfit! All these items can be worn together; from the dress, to the cardigan to the shoes! Didn’t notice until the end of the day \ud83d\ude00<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
With that spare money that I had left (I basically was broke after 6 hours of shopping) I bought two palettes from Sleek Make-Up which I wanted for soooooooooo long and I have to say these palettes are AWESOME. Super pigmented, color stays all day and the glitter ones never smudge. I’m hooked and will definitely buy that one palette that I couldn’t find anywhere at Superdrug. I look forward to review the primer and do an EOTD with that awesome glitter eyeliner I got in turquoise \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Lastly, I bought some treats for myself and my family\/boyfriend at home which is chocolate & tea. I love everything sweet and chocolate is one of my favorite things to eat ever. Also, my mom and I are big tea lovers so that’s why I got green tea + peach for myself and black tea + lemon for my mother (and drinking chocolate for my boyfriend and I for the colder days ^-^)<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
As a conclusion, I would say that London has great opportunities to shop – if you have the money. I didn’t really find any interesting store outside the big shopping areas like Oxford Street. Notting Hill looked like Harajuku from the stores; so if you like a bunch of stores that literally all sell the same cute lacey dress, go for it! I never really shopped much in Harajuku to be honest. I’m pretty sure London also has some low-budget shopping places hidden somewhere :3<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I was very happy that I got everything I wanted and even a little bit more, so I couldn’t be happier! Did you ever take a trip abroad to go shopping?<\/span> Or do you prefer the local stores in your area? I personally love to go shopping and interact with all the people along the way. It’s a form of culture, after all! Hope you enjoyed this post, I made it with a lot of love! \ud83d\ude00<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Have a lovely day! Much love,<\/div>\n

From cosmetics to clothes I didn’t even think once “Oh, look how cheap that is!” Nope. Never. Shine-through partly lace dress from Dorothy Perkins. This was love at first sight too! I just love the awesome details at the collar and how it’s shine through yet conceals everything. I loooove that dress so much, so glad I bought it!! ^-^ This was about 50$ if I remember right.. Dress and belt in action! \ud83d\ude00 I also bought this necklace from Rock Rebel which is a Rockabilly company. Do I need to tell you that this was love at first sight, too…? (Necklace was about 30$ >_<“) AND LOOK AT THAT AWESOME COLLAR DETAIL!! xD I’m in love, can you tell..? \ud83d\ude00 I also bought these cute studded loafers at Primark. I wanted such shoes since spring, but I couldn’t fit the shoes in Japan so I am a bit behind with that trend. Usually I wouldn’t buy summer shoes in autumn but these were only 12$ and they are so comfortable too! So I reall couldn’t say no, could I? For the clothing part, that’s all I bought. Yep. You shocked? Well, look at all the prices! I decided to rather get myself some classy, well-made and worth-of-buying items than just buy a lot of anything. I rather have 5 expensive pieces I really love than having 20 cheaper pieces for the same price which I won’t wear often. Funny fact: After shopping I realized that I just bought exactly one whole outfit! All these items can be worn together; from the dress, to the cardigan to the shoes! Didn’t notice until the end of the day \ud83d\ude00 With that spare money that I had left (I basically was broke after 6 hours of shopping) I bought two palettes from Sleek Make-Up which I wanted for soooooooooo long and I have to say these palettes are AWESOME. Super pigmented, color stays all day and the glitter ones never smudge. I’m hooked and will definitely buy that one palette that I couldn’t find anywhere at Superdrug. I look forward to review the primer and do an EOTD with that awesome glitter eyeliner I got in turquoise \ud83d\ude00 Lastly, I bought some treats for myself and my family\/boyfriend at home which is chocolate & tea. I love everything sweet and chocolate is one of my favorite things to eat ever. Also, my mom and I are big tea lovers so that’s why I got green tea + peach for myself and black tea + lemon for my mother (and drinking chocolate for my boyfriend and I for the colder days ^-^) As a conclusion, I would say that London has great opportunities to shop – if you have the money. I didn’t really find any interesting store outside the big shopping areas like Oxford Street. Notting Hill looked like Harajuku from the stores; so if you like a bunch of stores that literally all sell the same cute lacey dress, go for it! I never really shopped much in Harajuku to be honest. I’m pretty sure London also has some low-budget shopping places hidden somewhere :3 I was very happy that I got everything I wanted and even a little bit more, so I couldn’t be happier! Did you ever take a trip abroad to go shopping? Or do you prefer the local stores in your area? I personally love to go […]","og_url":"https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/de\/london-lust-part-ii-shopping\/","og_site_name":"Colorcrrush","article_published_time":"2012-10-03T16:00:00+00:00","og_image":[{"url":"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-qryHb8gjvik\/UGm3XExlG9I\/AAAAAAAAEWU\/XEvkFLaZAi8\/s1600\/london.jpg","type":"","width":"","height":""}],"author":"colorcrrush","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Verfasst von":"colorcrrush","Gesch\u00e4tzte Lesezeit":"5\u00a0Minuten"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/london-lust-part-ii-shopping\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/london-lust-part-ii-shopping\/"},"author":{"name":"colorcrrush","@id":"https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/#\/schema\/person\/6686427e2b4b777f290198b0f0f85bf5"},"headline":"London Lust, Part II: Shopping!","datePublished":"2012-10-03T16:00:00+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/london-lust-part-ii-shopping\/"},"wordCount":1054,"commentCount":0,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/#\/schema\/person\/6686427e2b4b777f290198b0f0f85bf5"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/london-lust-part-ii-shopping\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-qryHb8gjvik\/UGm3XExlG9I\/AAAAAAAAEWU\/XEvkFLaZAi8\/s1600\/london.jpg","articleSection":["Travel"],"inLanguage":"de","potentialAction":[{"@type":"CommentAction","name":"Comment","target":["https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/london-lust-part-ii-shopping\/#respond"]}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/london-lust-part-ii-shopping\/","url":"https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/london-lust-part-ii-shopping\/","name":"London Lust, Part II: Shopping!
