Westfield Mall is all over the world!  We can’t seem to stay away from it 🙂  So far they have many in the US, they have in New Zealand, Australia and in the UK.  

The British will always have their own! 🙂  

 Love this! In the aisle of the mall there are these pretty massage angels 🙂 

 Zara Home!! ALL WHITE!

 M&S cafe in M&S!!  Please open in Manila! 🙂  

 Cute food stall selling pancake balls with toppings!

 Cute chairs by the ice cream bar

 Apparently in the UK Frozen yogurt is not a fad!  The British love frozen yogurt!! Maybe I am British? haha!! 

 I like the fact that in this mall, they have a separate section for all the high end brands.  They call it the village.  It’s important that in a mall, there is zoning rather than a hodge podge of everything.

 Champagne bar in the middle

Beautiful 🙂  I would think it won’t be as busy, but the ground floor is quite busy since it leads to the outside of the mall where there are restaurants 

And to Waitrose!!!  I love M& S and Waitrose!!!

Herbs so well packaged and displayed

Outside Liberty London is Carnaby Street ( Soho district ) which is for the younger market

A rubber shoe store that has almost any rubber shoe that you will look for!

Love this street with the hanging light bulbs – all restaurants and bars in this street

Nice mosaic wall

Love the Puma store

Super love this store!!  Ii have not been here in more than 20 years but appreciating it more now.  Liberty London – A story that reminds me of my late Grandmother, Gliceria Tantoco, who started Rustan’s.  

Since 1875, Liberty has been synonymous with luxury and great design.  Arthur Liberty’s intuitive vision and pioneering spirit led him to travel the world looking for individual pieces to inspire and sxcitehis discerning clientele.  Liberty is not just a name above a door, it’s Arthur Liberty’s legacy whig stands for integrity, value, quality and above all beautifully designed products.  This vision and spirit continues today within the iconic Tudor building

Fresh flowers by the entrance, I am not sure if this is always lil this or this is for the Chelsea Flower Show

I love love this place!  The facade was under renovation hence the design tar outside.  Fortnum and Mason is known as the store where the Queen shops and believe me you really feel like a Queen when shopping here 🙂  Ria and I went window shopping and enjoyed so much

It’s amazing how they take TEA so seriously here!  Everywhere in London 🙂  In Fortnum there is a floor that is all tea!

Love the staircases here – there are several – on the sides and in the middle

Love the picnic hampers which they are known for.  Bespoke hampers.  There are several desks for customers to sit down with a personal shopper for them to order and select their personalised hampers.  This reminds me of the Rustan’s Supermarket Christmas baskets that people buy by the hundreds and thousands during christmas.  

More Tea things 🙂  

Home accessories

Candles

Sterling silver tea accessories

Perfumery and toiletries department

When I go to a certain country, I like to see stores that are from that country!  With so many nice things to see in London, I had to narrow down my choices to where to go and just focus on British brands!! This is one of the shops I LOVE!!  (Though I heard there are a lot of fakes being sold in the tiangges here in the Philippines.) I just love window shopping and admiring how people come up with such great and creative ideas to put together things in a store!!
