London's Calling Your Wallet - Fashionista - Fashion Designers, Models, Shopping, Style

london holiday sales.jpg So it’s Friday, the end of a long, hard week and all your body is craving is designer clothes, drink and music. But where do you go? My top choices:

1. Lambs Conduit St. Christmas of course!

From 12 - 8pm today, Lambs Conduit St London holds its very own festive party. Music, games and fun, including Folk, Lee, Humanoid, Patagonia, Tretorn, BSA and Lowie, up to 80% off. There’ll also be a handbag raffle, winter bbq, alcoholic smoothies, mulled wine and mince pies.

2. And for Saturday, here’s one you cannot possibly miss:

North London-based vintage/costume store Angels needs to get rid of old stock, which consists of “genuine retro clothing and accessories from the 1920’s - 90’s (every decade included), contemporary clothing and period military uniforms.

You pay to get a bag upon admittance (small bag for £10, medium £20, large £50), then run around like crazy fools filling your bags with as many clothes as possible. Warning: The event’s Facebook group already has 4,546 people listed as attending, but it will so be worth it. Details after the jump.

not to be rude but couldn't you find someone a bit more insider-y to handle london? i could get better scoops and i don't even live over there. i don't really understand the thought process, unless he's just a friend of yours.

Of course Fashionista! Because we all can just hop on a jet to London to catch this "exclusive" sale! read the news!!!!

Dec 06, 2008 7:50AM

Uh, some of us are actually already *in* London. The whole world (and entire readership of Fashionista) doesn't live in the US.

I'm gling to London on Sunday. Kill me now please.

no.8 you didn't miss anything anyway the queue was almost a mile long and very very slow moving. We were there at 8.30 and didn't get in till 11.30. Plus all that was left was boxes of M&S and BHS rubbish. There was a huge queue getting refunds on all the bags they bought but didn't use.

i had known about this for the last month and it was going to be the highlight of my week however Dune called me in for a trial period and i couldn't make it! i am very upset about this :( how was it anyway? was it great?

Dec 06, 2008 2:50PM

It was absolutely terrible. I arrived at around 8:30am and the queue was literally half a mile. The people who enjoyed it arrived at around 7:30am or so.

I didn't bother queueing and went to some charity shops nearby which actually had loads of nice finds.

Dec 06, 2008 3:26PM

I wish I had done the same thing and gone to some charity shops! wasn't worth the wait at all!!

message to number 2, basically you just sound like a bit of a cunt

Dec 07, 2008 4:37PM

Guest number 6 also sounds like one.

Dec 08, 2008 7:50AM

Totally agree with you both 16 & 17

Dec 08, 2008 7:55AM

16 & 17 are rifht on. I think the idea behind Br(it) Boy is to let people know what is going on in London who live in the US (like me) but also let the UK readers of Fashionista know about things they can go to like sample sales.
The world doesnt revolve around America you know!
