JOURNEY TO THE STARS

Selfridges will forever be the luxurious home I only live in during opening hours, and the perfect place to detour prior to any important event, as it is practically impossible to leave this place without smelling delightful. Now just under two months away from one of the year's grandest celebrations, this magical place infamous for its Christmas window displays transforms into a beautiful setting for inspiration and casual day dreaming.

This year the theme is one of the cosmical kind, with each window facing Oxford Street representing each one of the 12 astrological signs. The passionate scorpio in me had me jumping between each window, SnapChatting my friends their designated windows. Moving inside I was met by no less than my homie Santa, who joined by one of the Elfridges showed me around in Selfridges, confirming me in my preconceived conclusions that it truly is the ultimate Christmas destination.

My favourite thing from the whole theme, is the fact that you can shop by star sign, so whether your brother is an Aquarius or your aunt is Libra, they've made a fine selection of luxury Christmas gifts inspired by each sign, characteristic to their personalities.

When I thought the 5-year old in me couldn't be more stimulated, all was followed by breakfast at the Forest Restaurant and Cabin Bar on the rooftop, and not to brag here, but I got a polaroid with Santa. I can't see how it's going to get any better from here.

HOPE THIS PROVIDED SOME EARLY CHRISTMAS INSPIRATION!
