I am walking down a road. A road I do not know. In a city that is not my hometown. Not at all my hometown. I strain my ears as I listen to the sounds. I breath in deep.. Its sounds and its smell are so familiar.
Oh London..How I have missed thee!!!!
Oh London..How I have missed thee!!!!
As you migh t have read on our I'm in here with Hilda, the store owner of facebookLooks Like Vintage. And as we both have been in London more often, we've decided to skip most of the tourists attractions. But there were a few stores on our list, that we would love to visit!
So off we went to Holloway Road..
So there we were...at the Vivien of Holloway store! We all know those famous halter swing dresses! With the beautiful prints! But to be honest..I was a little skeptical about them.
I hate halter dresses. Not because of their looks..nooo not at all! But because of the pain! I am quite a busty lady. So everytime I wear halter dresses I have to cope with a neckace afterwards.
But oh wel...it wouldn't hurt that much if I would only try them on! Well..maybe it would only just break my heart..

As soon as I walked into the store, I'd fallen in love. Not with a dress...but with a top! OH MY GOSH!!!! Have you ever seen the Vivien of Holloway tops?
But again...a halter top. Heartbreak incomming!!!!
I'd fallen in love as soon as I'd walked into the store. But now...trying it on, it felt like a match made in heaven. Not only the model, but also the choice of fabric. Its quality is more than great!
But the thing I am most surprised about is the fit! It is truly amazing! As I told you before, I normaly can not wear any halter models. But the tops (and the dresses as well) are lined at the bust. If you wear the right size, the fit will be perfect! The top will hug your curves like a corset. Not as tight, but tight enough so the halter isn't pulled tight at all. This is the first time ever I can wear a halter model without a serious neckace! You can't even imagine how happy I am right now!
So ofcourse I bought the top(the one I wear in the first pictures). My first Vivien ..but it will not be my last!
Vivien of Holloway, I love you!
