Liberty's of London

If you haven't guessed by now I have a fetish for department stores.

Liberty's in my opinion offers a quintessentially British experience  with an artsy dramatic flare. 

This is where Shakespeare would come to pick up his must haves.  



The Tudor building offers oodles of character and seems charmingly wonky. Know for it's floral prints and collaborations with designers, Yves Saint Laurent and Dame Vivienne Westwood,Barbour and Manolo Blahnik to name but a few.





Spreed over 6 floors (including the basement) every nook and cranny has something weird a wonderful to look at. Defiantly an Alice in wonderland vibe.

Entering through the doors you are hit with a fresh floral scent due to the bunches of fresh flower stacked around you, the best type of welcome I think.






You are then met with a burst of colour which is accentuated by dark beam interior.The hall is filled with designer scarves, hung all around in every colour, print and fabric you can imagine. Princes Di would have jumped for joy. Liberty's TV has been uber clever and come up with tutorial on how to tie a scarf in many ways, I'm defo taking notes.






I almost died when I saw these hanging Beatles, a throw back to the 1960, I was smiling like a Cheshire cat.



I followed my nose and the wafting scent to the perfume department, spraying myself with most glass bottles in reach. I arrived at Diptyque my new found love after the girls at work were gushing over the brand and I had to check it out or myself. I love their candles and their fresh clean packaging.




I had to hit the accessory section, it just wouldn't be right if I didn't and I feel I love with these Federica Moretti hats, totally a Millinery idol.





I channeled my inner Elton John hee!!!!



Venturing upstairs I was over the moon to find their Designer vintage section, crammed full with CHANEL... not that it's in my price range but dare to dream right?!








I have to have this jacket in my life ASAP, it's so fab.............AMAZING



The designer section offers all your dress up needs with clever displays, the Manolo Blahnik wall was genius.











Hidden in between designers on the 2nd is the Liberty Cafe, vibrant (complete with neon birds) with an airy feel, it's a great place to unwind after a hard time shopping and dashing from floor to floor.





My final detestation was the outrageous and quirky home section. I mean my photo's say it all....





This department store is defiantly the kooky cool kid of the bunch.
