Hello everyone!

I'm fairly new to Fashionista, so I don't know if this has been asked before and I'm super sorry if it has.

Anyway, I'm heading to London at the end of May and I need some shopping suggestions. I know about Topshop, Harrod's etc but I want to know about lesser known stores. Like the best vintage spots and where to buy cool unique jewelry or up and coming designers that haven't hit Chanel prices.

Also, I know that wearing jeans in Italy pretty much pegs you as a tourist, but what about London? Are jeans cool?

Thanks!

I'm on a hunt for cute (but not cutesy) mini dresses for spring and summer, and the only place that seems to have what I'm looking for at a halfway decent price is Topshop.

But the way the dresses are displayed on the website just makes them look cheap and ill-fitting. I won't be able to make it to the new Topshop store in New York until fall, so I want to know if any of you think $80 is worth it for a little cotton dress?

Is the quality worth it, or am I better off at Forever 21?

Thanks!
