Lulu has moved from fashion and friends in glam Mumbai to global London. The blog takes on everyday living, museums, cafe's, cosmopolitan friends,currently infrequent weekend pub visits, shopping and calorie counts. If I understand British Humour which is slowly making its way into my brain cells through my cold ears, I promise to share.

Emotional cruelty

Shopping in London is cruel. Absolutely vile.
I love it.
I hate it.
The shop windows are calling out to me every day. My college is located in Soho, guess what's closest to it? Oxford circus. Guess the friends and classmates i'm surrounded by - extreme shopping lovers who never cease to encourage and bond on the same ritual. Yes, there's also Chai tea Latte at Starbucks we're all suckers for.
Anyway in the past one week i made notes of my shopping patterns. I am horrified at this new trend emerging - return things, feel less guilty, buy some more since now you have the money from the things you've returned.
All prices are in Great Britain Pound Sterling

ZARA
Cigarette Pants in black - 39.00
Black Jacket to match -59.00
Black shirt to wear underneath -19.00
Black court shoes -39.00

Had major guilt trip - Returned all the above except sexy black pants.

La senza (To spend money that was returned to me)
Mauve silk luxury lingerie set with matching boxers -40.00

It makes me feel good and Oprah loves it.

Wow!!! Hmmm... maybe you should check yourself into the same rehab place that would only take Britney with no hair.... :)
Just kidding, don't be too hard on yourself about buying too much, you are in fashion and its part of your job to know what all the new stuff looks like. Right???
