Harrods department store, built in the early 1900’s, is one of London’s main tourist attractions, with over 100,000 customers passing through it’s doors every day. Hubby and I always have to go in for a wander when we’re in London. We don’t spend big money in there, maybe a few pounds on a couple of their beautiful mugs, but we do love to explore the seven floors full of of fascinating wares. This is the central Egyptian escalator which was designed for Mohammed Fayed, at a cost of £30 million.
I spotted a sign advertising ‘SHOE HEAVEN’, so of course we had to head on over there as fast as possible.
-
- Cute kitty faces
-
- Love those heels, but maybe not.
-
- So many to choose from.
-
- Thigh-high boots for long-legged girls.
-
- The fluffy ones tickled my fancy, but the price didn’t.
-
- I wonder who dreams up some of these designs. Surely one isn’t meant to actually walk in them!
The prices were as ridiculous as some of the shoes, and besides which, there wasn’t a single pair that actually waved to me, so to hubby’s great relief, we wandered out of shoe heaven without burning any plastic.
The last department we looked around, was the interior design. I would have taken more photos, but the snooty-looking assistants were hovering everywhere. It looks as though mismatched colours are all the rage this season.
In stark contrast to Harrods’ interior, here is a pic hubby just sent me from our other house. The tile ripper-uppers have arrived and are hard at work. Do you think this distressed look could catch on for next season?
Hop you’ve enjoyed my “from the sublime to the ridiculous” interior pics. Have a great Monday.
