LF Stores - SOHO/FlatIron - NYC

LF Store is one place not to be missed in NYC. In fact I cant believe i haven't blogged about it yet! Whilst living in New York for 6 weeks it was the only store (with a reasonable price bracket) that compared to the hip design talent here in the UK. There are two locations in The City - the better in Spring Street as the Soho location just gives it that edge! The shoes are the focal point Jeffery Campbell (who supplies shoes to Urban Outfitters) designs his very own styles just for LF! The only downside is the visual merchandising, it can be messy at times as clothes are folded rather than hung looking rather cluttered.. anyways LF is a must see over in NYC!

Portobello Market - W11 - London

Portobello road market traditionally had its focus on vintage finds - 'one of a kind' vintage shop is loved by celebs and offers a large selection of good quality vintage designer bags.

My last few trips to the market have left me inspired by the up and coming designers hoping to follow the footsteps of All Saints who originally started selling their collection in Spitalfield market in the East End !
The atmosphere is always amazing and don't forget to grab a snack whilst u walk around - falafel wraps and paella are delicious!

I am currently interning in the buying team for high street brands at ASOS ! This thursday was press day - ASOS staff and the hard-to-please press took an exclusive look at the new key trends and looks which will dominate the ASOS A/W 2010 collection!

UK VOGUE said 'ASOS is a strong fashion contender '

Bedford Avenue - Brooklyn - New York

Home of New York's greatest vintage store 'Beacons Closet' , Bedford avenue is NY's version of Portobello road. Set in Williamsburg Brooklyn - Bedford ave is only a short ride on the metro, no longer than 20 mins from Union Square. One long street filled with market stalls, quirky boutiques and cute cafes, the local artsy crowd are an inspiration... shame we didn't bump into Dan Humphrey!




RELISH DINER

Look: Indie funk
Get- her - style: Chloe Sevigny, Daisy Lowe
Haunts - Beacons Closet (colour co-ordinated vintage store)
Secret finds - Diane Von Furstenberg cashmere cardigan for $20 !!!

Neve Tzedek - Tel Aviv - ISRAEL

(Click on image to make larger)

Neve Tzedek is situated in the vibrant city of Tel-aviv. The area is made up of little cobbled streets lined with ultra trendy boutiques, bars and restaurants. Shabazi Street within Neve Tzedek is home to the most fabulous jewellery and furniture design. Real gold and precious stones are a key focus for the israeli designers as well as unique costume jewellery. If looking for a religious jewellery e.g. star of david or evil eye/jewish hand symbol this is an excellent place to come for an individual piece that no one else will have. Womenswear and menswear is not purely on-trend however some pieces will fit well with other classic items in your wardrobe.

Look: Bohemian, nouveau hippie
Get-her-style: Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen, Kate Moss, Alice Dellal
