Care for some Harem pants?

No thank you...but a lot of people want them for some reason....seriously how can they make you look good. I understand the comfort issue but lots of loose fabric around your hips and thighs then tight at your knees or calves...I have no idea how they can be flattering for 97% of the population...I'm leaving 3% for the genetic freak...if you are a genetic freak please understand that I use that term in a loving way...because I am not stick thin and can't wear the couture fashions that I would love to. Although I think my bank account thanks me for being a bit chunky...actually scratch that it doesn't thank me it just sighs in frustration at my constant shopping.

Shopping in London was very fun, I spent about 6 hours walking up and down Oxford St spending oodles of money. I have been asked for photos of my purchases..I will try my best to post them in the next couple of days. Here's the inventory of my shopping adventures in London (for the entire time I was there..not just Friday):

1 pair Clarks heels
1 pair paint splattered sneakers
2 bags
1 long necklace
4 scarves (2 are presents)
3 T-Shirts
1 tank
1 blouse
1 3/4 sleeve jacket
2 skirts
10 dresses
3 belts
4 fashion prints (from markets)
1 pair Clarks sandals (bought in Dublin)
Art Deco fashion book
flower bracelets
flower ring

I'm probably forgetting something as well!

I tried some jeggings on and if they had them in my size I would have bought them. They were comfortable and not skin tight! they looked good on, I forgot to take my camera that day (trying to lighten my bag) but if I can find them here I will take a photo.

Fashion in London is all over the place but there definitely is a London style, didn't get out to Camden which would have been great for fashion watching..next time.

I'm home in Vancouver, jet lagged but otherwise glad to be in the sun..need to keep my tan up. I will be back up and running on 'What's happening in Vancouver'
