Connection, All Saints, Warehouse etc. as well) and it's people always dazzle with fashionista sparkle.
I went to pay a visit to very chic boutique ‘Austique’ (http://www.austique.co.uk/) on 330 Kings Road, and it is not only a beautifully presented shop but also made even more attractive by its wonderful staff. Friendly and knowledgable, the girls happily show you the latest ‘must haves’ and advise on latest colours, shapes etc.
A definite winner for finding the perfect summer dress and really cute, original jewellery.
I also absolutely love ‘ Anthropology’ on 131 - 141 King's Road (www.anthropologie.eu/uk), which offers an eclectic mix of stuff for the home, clothing, accessories and art.
Browsing here is fun and you will always find something exceptional. Anthropolie is definitely the antithesis to high street chains and their store concepts are amazing.
Look out for unusual bags and chic tops, which will carry you through from day to night.
I am also a big fan of kitch-crazy-fun Ad Hoc London on 153 King's Road ( http://www.adhoclondon.co.uk/ ).
Some of the things you find here are a little risque (if you know what I mean?!) but check out their fun tights, cool sunnies and cheekysloganed T-Shirts.
But Kings Road would be nothing without its stylish shoppers and I managed to snap a few this week to show you what people are wearing. You have to know that the weather has been playing havoc with our style wardrobe and in one day, you might experience four seasons (almost!). So it has been quite difficult to dress weather-appropriate. Here are a few girlies, who managed to look cool and weather the storm of erratic weather stylishly!
Casual but smart
Cute and summery –
the leather belt give this outfit an edge
Sophisticated look –
the graphic-patterned gilet adds texture
A bright top will make any outfit pop!
Mixing patterns and colours skilfully -
will add sophistication to a day look
Bright accessories will liven up any rainy day ;-)
Absolute Chelsea Chic –
Lovely Mira is a student at Central Saint Martins
As you can see a real mix of different looks but that is what makes Kings Road such an exciting place to visit. And in early July it is extra fun because most shops have their summer sale on. Hand me the credit card!
