if not now when

My roommate and I recognize that we're still in the honeymoon phase of our time here, but at least we have accepted it.

Today we walked further down Oxford Street and did some serious shopping. On the way we got super touristy and took British phone booth pictures..

So yesterday I thought Primark was heaven, but today I found something better: Selfridge's. It was a beautiful place with actually every single top brand name and designer. These clothes cost more than my life. But they were all very beautiful and very inspiring. There was a Primark department, where I bought a knee-length black tea skirt and a printed jumpsuit. Obviously I couldn't leave the H&M department empty handed, so I picked up a long tank that reads, "if not now when." I couldn't resist, especially because the words are so relevant to my trip. 

Now is my time to pursue my passions and career.

So elsewhere in Selfridge's was the American Apparel department. My outfit happened to match perfectly with the decor in the fitting room soooo here's a #selfie from that.

Other pictures from the inside of Selfridge's;

This picture I took for Brendan, the boy I babysit at home. He loves Legos and Star Wars. The toy department within Selfridge's was comparable to the Toys R Us at Times Square in NYC. 

The rooms and rooms of shoes inside Selfridge's were incredible. This one display I, as a fashion major, was obsessed with. (If you don't know me too well, you probably don't know I have an obsession with visual merchandising. It's one of my potential career paths.) Anyway, this table was made of old wooden shoe forms. It was crazy.

So the goal of today's trip was to make it to the main offices of our school, London College of Fashion. Slowly but surely, we made it. 

Orientation starts Tuesday, and classes begin the following Monday. I'm very excited to start working!
