Barker Grant Brogue Suede Oxford Shoes

I have had a bit of a cold te last two days and its not gone yet. As you know there are few things as pathetic as a man with a cold. I feel cranky and a real baby. When I was a child my grandfather used buy me icecream when I had a cold. Icecream works today as well but what would work even better is a pair of these shoes.

Did I mention that my birthday is coming up?

John Lewis

John Lewis is a chain of shops that have been around for ages in England. One of their flagships is Peter Jones at Sloane Square. I walked past there today and saw some lovely shoes in the window. Who could resist loving a violet shoe like the one above?! You can stroll into one of their shops or visit their webshop at www.johnlewis.com. So many great shoes and I want all of these. I wonder of John Lewis could consider sponsring me?

John Lewis

In London on Oxford Street we have one department store after another. One of these is John Lewis. In the building next to John Lewis I went to college, London College of Fashion if you happen to have forgottten. We went into John Lewis quite often, at least on the ground floor and that was because of the section with fabrics. We needed fabric samples for all our different projects and John Lewis had a very good selection and very good staff that helped us. I suppose they were used to having students running there all the time asking for fabric swatches.

I can't say that I explored so much more of John Lewis. The image isn't exactly of the hippest, hottest or most fashion forward but it is an institution on Oxford Street. Now I think it would be fun to go exploring and discover what I didn't then. How about it, Irina? Should we take a reminiscing tour of John Lewis and perhaps LCF as well?
