Observations from the capital

I’ve yet to see anyone with one of those Uniqlo bags that have gone viral.

Longchamp Le Pliage bags are very popular and I have seen numerous people with them.

I have not seen many of anyone decked out in obvious designer gear. I’ve seen plenty of people with designer bags.

People dress how they want and I have not seen any noticeable trends other than to say people are dressing for comfort ( trainers).

@Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain from Pom Pom? I have seen that one too. It’s lovely,
In a fact they all are.
I am just planning to use it everyday as I don’t go anywhere special.
As I said I don’t even like black bags unless they have something special on them
ole pattern or print etc..
It must be shiny croc patent leather that attracts me to it.
I managed to find exactly the same one on Debenhams website for half price however not so shiny. Still want this one.

No mine was an old vintage find and smaller than most crossbody bags.

Uniqlo bag not so ubiquitous now. Le pliage still in use as practical and waterproof.
my observations from my daily commute are:
oversized wool coat
bright trainers
wide leg trousers or jeans
pearl pendants are having a moment
bare nails

Friday night out in trendy SE London suburb. At a pub where a few people had a Xmas party. Noticed a light green metallic crossbody bag with Lucy and Yak dungarees or pinafore, a dobbie blouse annd black corduroy skirt on another woman. Others playing darts wore black trousers and skirts with black shirts and blouses. Bar tender young and female wore a floaty top with mom jeans in a dark grey wash along with a big circular shell pendant.

love metalic bags.. please observe more.. I miss my old London life.
It always feels so different when I go there once in Blue moon and then I’m back home.
I miss the trends, coolness etc..
