A Wave from the Window
Having a clothing/fashion store in an opticians is already a little on the strange side. Having a real girl posing as a window mannequin waving at you as you walk by is even freakier. I've always been a little perplexed as to why the label Heaven & Earth (their website is under construction but ASOS sell some of their stuff...), have a stand-alone shop within the 20/20 Optical store on Tottenham Court Road. But today, a primly dressed girl in black shades, sitting at a table, having tea and waving at passers-by probably perplexed me even more.
If I'm honest, whilst Heaven & Earth sell very cute/wearable clothes with leanings towards the sort of you stuff you'd find in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan etc, I feel as though I'm getting a little ripped off, given that the prices are often on the wrong side of £50. I suppose if you don't live in Asia or don't fly back often, then getting a bit of a fix at Heaven & Earth isn't such a bad option but I personally can't bear to fork over £60 for a knitted cardi that will probably cost HKD60.
Nonetheless, the girl did look very pretty and elegant in her black Chanel-esque ensemble. Even though she freaked me out a little as her head turned side to side in a mechanical way...
