London is the Holy Grail for shopping (big call, I know) and with Fashion Week<\/a> kicking off, there\u2019s never been a better time to start your shopping list! Here\u2019s why I think London<\/a> is the best spot to shop, and a few of my favourite places to shop, stop and blog.<\/p>\n

Everyone is there<\/h2>\n

Not only can you find every designer you\u2019ve ever heard of, London is also home to tonnes of local and European designers you haven\u2019t heard of. If you like fast fashion, it\u2019s everywhere and it\u2019s huge. If you love vintage stores, there\u2019s an abundance. There\u2019s something for everyone.<\/p>\n

Everything is current: it\u2019s truly \u2018fashion forward\u2019<\/h2>\n

I live in Sydney<\/a> and while I love it for so many reasons, we always get fashion late. It\u2019s not a big market, so it\u2019s not at the top of the hit list for designers. In the fast world of fashion where designers show collections two seasons ahead, I can\u2019t help but feel that we\u2019re always a season behind. This is why it\u2019s so awesome shopping in London, because when you bring your items back home, no-one will have what you\u2019re wearing.<\/p>\n

Long opening hours<\/h2>\n

Most stores stays open until 8pm and many remain open later to 9-10pm, especially on Thursdays.<\/p>\n

Tax refunds<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re an overseas shopper like me, make sure to take advantage of this! You can get up to a 10%-13% cash refund at the airport. It might not sound like much but if you\u2019re thinking about purchasing luxury goods, this is where you want to spend your money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
