{Liberty of London, Brit chic}
My first trip to iconic Liberty of London was right at closing time & I'm glad there wasn't time to shop - it would've been too tempting! For starters, the place is dramatically designed to look like an old ship...it's almost like stepping into a soaring film set...

The nice security guard let us in after some cajoling & even played tour-guide. And, oh, the fun of Liberty's signature, vivid prints & print-suffused goodies...

{MAC Liberty of London cosmetics packaging...}
{Liberty "Ianthe" print embossed clutch...}
What's not to love?
And I couldn't resist...Liberty for all! This Liberty for Target bike (seen stateside at Target, of course) is design for the masses, in the best sense. Riding this would make me smile goofily. :)

Thanks, Stacey - the architectural detail is just amazing - you'd love it! :)
Hi Cat - it is a great store! Just a nice experience for all five senses :)
I've been meaning to say thanks for your sweet comments on my blog:-).
Hi Stacey - thanks so much, that is sweet of you! I do enjoy looking around your lovely blog! :)
LL is all the rage in Japan, I'm glad they don't have a store there! (or if they do I don't know about it...yet!)
Now I know why one of our friends (a guy) said 'no way' when I suggested for us 3 couples to holiday in London -- the guys would never get us gals out from the shopping malls/stores and whatnot. I love those MAC cosmetics.
Hi Kat - Ooh, how fun! I had no idea it was so big in Japan (oh my goodness, I did not just use a super-80s phrase, did I? :)
Hi Rowena - Haha, it's like every guy's secret nightmare! Get dragged out shopping/browsing with the gals! I'm not even into flowery prints that much, but there's something just fun-spirited about the Liberty stuff (love the MAC too) :)
