LONDON SHOPPING: THE FIVE SHOPS NOT TO MISS.
With a recent influx of pop-ups I thought it could be useful to compile all the must-see stores to visit if you’re planning to go shopping in London. Not planning a London specific shop anytime soon? Fret not; all these beauties are online too, simply take a virtual tour now and shop till your heart’s content later.
Kitri
35 Thayer Street, Marylebone, London
First up and one I was dying to see from all the amazing coverage on Instagram was Kitri. This brand came on my radar towards the start of summer, making it top of my go-to list. The store definitely lived up to the instagrams, with tones of pink and red paired with a black and white stipe floor, completely invoking the spirit of the brand. You'll not be able to go without trying something on, the fitting rooms are definitely worth a visit either way. Be sure to check out downstairs. LOVED!Favourite piece has to be the Gloria Bardot midi dress I picked up but I’m also loving this Eve Pinstripe Blazer.
Bad Denim
82 Lower Clapton Road, E5 0RN
You're in luck, this ones not a pop-up, just one I hadn’t ventured to before. Which is pretty silly of me having a small obsession with jeans. Bad Denim - AKA a denim lovers heaven. Every amazing brand you know & love – to the ones you need to know. I met the lovely Socha, who was so knowledgable at pointing out styles she knew I'd love. I was super excited about the fact they stocked ReDone jeans, a brand I’ve been dying to physically try on. Small but perfectly formed this shop will answer all your denim prayers. My favourites the Mih Caron & The Redone REDONE High Rise Stove Pipe
Rixo
15 MONMOUTH ST, SEVEN DIALS, WC2H 9DA
The fashion brand on everyone's radar and another personal fave of mine; RIXO London. Showcasing the newest collection 'AW17 Shanghai Chic' at their exclusive pop up. Although this exact store was just about to end, the good news is that another one has arrived in Covent Garden. I'm sure it will be equally as photogenic so be sure to check it out soon. My favourite piece has to be the Mini Star Sadie Top or Red Oriental Jungle Camellia Dress.
THE SHOP AT BLUEBIRD x WILLIAM VINTAGE
350 King's Rd, Chelsea, London SW3 5UU
Probably the most photogenic store on the planet, The Shop at Bluebird King’s road have welcomed William Vintage in store for a 2-month pop up. Not only could I spend every day playing dress up in-store, now there is 60s Oscar de la Renta, 70s Issy & 90s Gucci to contend with.You have to visit the store for all things William Vintage but you can shop this Rejina Pyo coat on my wishlist. Dreaaaaamy.
Never fully dressed
30 Redchurch St London
Last but not least the lovely ladies from Never Fully Dressed have teamed up with Smith and Goat to pop up on one of my favourite streets in London. The perfect combination of clothes and botanical concrete pots go seamlessly. Love this Kasia Velvet Top and this amazing Holly Shirt. Don't miss out, pop closes the end of September.
