Christmas in Harrods

After visiting the V&A, as fashion and textile students, we wanted to shop, shop, shop! Oxford Street was like a dream to us. Visiting the Mulberry shop was amazing as it's my favourite bag brand. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and it makes me wonder why every shop isn't as polite as that.

However, Harrods was a dream. Pure designer heaven. The Christmas decorations were decadent throughout and everything extortionately priced as you would expect. 

My favourite part had to be the designer evening wear. Seeing Elie Saab dresses (Elie Saab website) in the flesh was amazing. They are so beautifully embellished. Much like the Marchesa and Jenny Packham dresses. I can only dream that one day I will own or design a dress as beautiful as those.

Last but most definitely not least, the Harrods window displays were truly fanatical and beautiful. Disney princess' is the epitome of dreamy. They're perfectly sculpted, perfectly dressed, just perfect. So what better way to display the beautiful evening dresses? The only way Harrods knows; magical. Even if you're not keen on Disney (which I am not) I can appreciate the pure beauty of the displays and more importantly the dresses especially designed for the occasion. 

My favourite had to be Sleeping Beauty, again with one of my favourite designers, Elie Saab. The dress was a beautiful pale pink with embroidered flowers and sequins. All of the dresses were those kind of dresses that would make you feel a million pounds (and probably cost about that too!)
