I wanted to post this the moment I received the release last week, but simply did not have a moment, so here it is.   Anthropologie are to open a concept store on London’s King’s Road.  As well as curtains, furniture, lighting, rugs, wallpapers, design books and magazines, the store will host regular classes with experts with the aim of inspiring designers and individuals alike.   Now there’s another reason to head down to the Kings Road and if you can make it the first masterclass is to be held on Sunday March 27th. x

I attended a beauty industry talk this morning (more on why in January), of which the guest speaker was Marcia Kilgore;  founder of Bliss Spa’s, Soap and more recently the Fitflop. Marcia was inspirational, authentic and clearly passionate about life.  I then, finally managed to get to the London outpost of Anthropologie on Regent Street.  I felt as if I had walked into Merci in Paris, which was a little disappointing as I wanted something different, but that’s me being super picky.  If you have not been to Merci, this will be a real treat, but it is the merchandising that is captivating, rather than the merchandise, which if have a good eye, you would find in Portobello Market or similar for considerably less.  That being said, it worth a visit and if you can’t make it to London, try their site – image below taken from www.anthropologie.co.uk
