Burberry

I was out yesterday drinking far too much champagne which of course leads to that the brain isn't functioning properly today. I'm pissed off about an old lover as sometimes you do. Done extensive window shopping, eaten some oysters and had som more wine. It is bloody well time for an infusion of luxury and Buberry will more then suffice.

Douglas Hannant

For the fall collection 2011 Douglas Hannant has created beautiful pieces. You get the distinctive feel of the 1920s which feels just right. The 1920s was an era of luxury, glamour and oppulence. That is something that we could need at the moment by the bucket load.

American Douglas Hannant has in about a decade succeeded in going from a small shop to an internationally known company. That is something that needs to be applauded and of course I wish the very best of continued success.

I think that there are a lot of women who will beat down the doors when his fall collection hits the shops.

Harrods

In the midst of London we have the epitomy of luxury, Harrods. The department store that is so big it feels like you need a map and a compass. Five floors with 330 different departments. It is quite common that you will be walking around in circles and wonder where the hell you are and how to get out. It's a fantastic place but at times I can think that it is too much but that depends entirely on which mood I'm in. It was founded already in 1834 and today it is owned by Quatar Investment Authority and employs well over 5000 people. The Harrods motto goes like this Omnia Omnibus Ubique - All Things for all People, Everywhere. Now that is impressive but let's face it, we know that it is not for all people. I have read somewhere that they say that they sell everything from a pin to an elephant. Apparently Ronal Reagan put it to the test at a state visit in the UK. The sales clerk asked without batting an eyelid if the American president wanted an Indian or an African elephant. That you can call service!!



Harrods is a phenomenom and even if the prices of the goods inside are too steep for you, go in and look. It's worth the visit.
