By seeing London, I have seen as much of life as the world can show.

Paying a visit to Covent Garden isn't exactly a chore. The market, the street performers, oh the atmosphere. I don't give two hoots if it's pouring down with rain, I just love the place.
And seeing as though I was there, I thought I should pop into Lucy in Disguise, the new vintage store opened by Lily Allen and her sister Sarah Owen. It would be rude not to, wouldn't it?



Inside it's AMAZING and I'm in love. I'm not going to lie. It's like a little haven of wonderful-ness. Like the feeling when I walk into Selfridges Shoe Galleries or stepping into Liberty or gazing at the bookshelves in R.D. Franks. That feeling where you know it's a place you could run to in order to escape everyday hassle or stress, because it calms you and makes you feel at home and at peace. Well, Lucy in disguise will be added to this list I am sure. Plus there is a vodka bar (excellent) AND a gaming area so you can leave your boyfriend in the corner whilst you browse, so everyone's a winner!





As you can see from my photographs, long gone are the smelly jumpers, stuffed rails, and stained tea dresses. This store is extravagant, fragile, refreshing and a bloody brilliant idea. The clothes range from about £25 to £990 (well that's the most expensive item I saw, it was a Hermes camel coloured cape, so worth it, in my opinion) :-) BUT you can also hire the clothing!!! The price of rent ranges and depends on the value of the garment, but every item is immaculate, current and in fabulous condition so you'll definitely be dressed to impress if you decided to borrow from Lucy In Disguise.




Until later-xx
