La Senza London Trip, Part 2 - Claire explores Marylebone High Street

Thu, 27 Nov 2008 19:17:00 +0000

After my trip to the La Senza preview, I was meeting up with a friend, so I did some work in Starbucks (so much easier to work in a cafe than in my room, due to lack of computer). After finishing that, I thought I'd check out Marylebone High Street as it was very near by and I thought "Hmm I should start my Christmas shopping".

Shops which I looked into, mostly which I'd never been in before!

Comptoir des Cottonniers - I tried on a v nice blue sweater dress, which was 30% off and would have been reasonable, but I just wasn't 100% sure on it. It had a slightly funy fit around my stomach. Still, I'd never tried on their clothes and I was impressed by their range. Seemed ike quite reasonable prices too.

Patisserie Valerie - a patisserie where we ate lunch. It was v busy. You could tell it was your non-student clientele, when the people who were sat next to us had a Prada bag from a couple of seasons ago and that it was mojority "adults" and older people. I want to be fab when I'm older too!

Charity shops! So much better than Oxford ones! I only had a quick look, but there were some good names in there, even with shoes. Obviously, the prices reflected this, but it's for charity and the things were much better than mine.

Matches - I was excited by this! I'd only been to the online shop, never been in before!! They were very friendly too in there, offering me a drink and to take my bags away (neither accepted, I didn't dare spill anything on the clothes). Mostly it was Diane Von Furstenburg, with some McQueen and some Alexander Wang too. I even felt the green Zagliane bag which I'd seen in The Times Style section (conclusion? Not soft, I thought those bags were meant to be soft??) and came very close to trying on an Herve Leger bandage dress. It'd definitely be a shop which I'd go to in the future (perhaps in January sales?).

All in all, a good day out!!! I liked the area very much, and though it's not feasible next year, maybe I would consider living there in the future. I'd have liked it if the market was on too...

La Senza London Trip, Part 1

Thu, 27 Nov 2008 12:50:00 +0000

As I was invited to the La Senza Spring/Summer 2009 Press Preview, I decided I'd go!!

So for my first ever press preview, this is what I wore.

Ie it's the Prada-inspired outfit from my post "Claire interprets High Fashion collections" with the addition of the All Saints jacket (and a coat!) for warmth. I liked. Though I did take a pair of flats (very much required. These shoes are also a bit too big for me, but damned if they're going to my sister too!).

Anyway, the La Senza preview. Walking into the marquee where it was held, my immediate thoughts were "Neon! Everywhere!". Seems that even La Senza (home of pretty and sexy bras) are heading down the Eighties route. After the initial colour shock, I was shown around the marquee. There were some very nice black, red and pink things for Valentine's day, I particularly liked the ruffly black bra with red ruffles.

Of the rest, they had loungewear/pyjamas (in springtime light fresh colours... not particularly different but not offensive), some quite exciting swimwear (they sell it in separates and cup sizes! So I know where I'll be going next time I need a bikini!) and yet more neon. La Senza have also started a jewelry line which I think is out now. I saw a long triple dragonfly necklace which I quite fancied.

All in all, I reckon quite positive. Though maybe less focus on the neon orange next time?

To tell you the truth, I hardly find myself wearing a long night gown for bed… I usually wear chemises, babydolls, and sometimes a cami set. But after I saw this sexy piece from La Senza, I know I wouldn’t mind trying it on. With lace neckline and high side slit, it looks seductively sexy alright!

Still part of the True Romance collection, it comes in Treasure Island, Royal Flush, and Black colors for CDN$39.50.
