Shu

Experienceing Shu umera from a customer’s view point The Shu Umera counter in Selfridges situated to the left amongst the other beauty concessions, was as busy and inviting as the others. Its clean white surfaces, mirrored blocks and bold Black Logo, positively drew me towards the collections. The lit up photographic images and panels sitting under the products then brought the focus on Shu Umeras collections. The first products to catch the eye are the range of colour displays in eye shadows and lipsticks, followed by the awe at noticing the intricacy in eyelash design. At this point one of the five or six staff at the Shu Umera counter rushes over offering help and showing me other lashes. He is a stylishly dressed, small Asian man, pleasant and enthusiastic. Moving quickly around the stand he encourages me to choose some lashes offering free application by himself and the chance to interactively choose my own gems and lash style and colours to create my own unique lashes for under £20. Naturally I couldn’t refuse and while seating me and applying my personalised lashes he explains what he is doing, what glue and other make up tools he is using and how I should apply them myself at home. He also gives me pricing for further accessories and I ask him about his customers. He tells me that he frequently has repeat client base of varied age, younger women choosing bright colours and eyelashes, older focusing on bronzer mixes and also that his regular customers tend to be Asian. As I pay at the counter I notice the screens playing ‘Tokyo Lash Factory’ images and girt sets on the till. I take my Selfridges bag (slightly disappointed it wasn’t a Shu umera bag) with the box to keep my lashes in and receipt inside and pleasantly waved on. Actually an idealistic shopping experience and the products, visual displays and service were fantastic. Apart from hoping for free decorative packaging or Shu Umrea style wrapping I felt sure that the brand had what it takes to maintain customer loyalty and that currently a lot more potential customers need to be made aware and drawn to the Shu umera product range.

LIPSY

New lipsy shop has just opened in the Vicy center Nottingham couldnt resist a browse and then couldnt help a few impulse buys!!!! It must have been the shiny window displays, cute ribbon tags, bright lighting and the changing rooms which were proper glam with photo frames of celebs wearing Lipsy on the wall that made parting with my cash so easy.

MOTEL

I first found Motel in a wicked shop in Bristol, way before they seemed to b everywhere, but its not surprising they are, as there stuff is really cool. This dress is from a new shop in Guildford that is doing the kinder snowboarder hang out shop cafe all in one theme. LOVE IT..... very me.

Harry Brown

http://www.harrybrownthemovie.co.uk/ Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Michael Caine is the perfect casting for Harry,Although possibly one of his last performances defenately one of the best. An odd thing to create a charachter that you could love like a Grandad and name as the height of 'cool'. very talented man :P The film opened with an unusual introduction of the credits, which was simple yet captivating. The black screen, with white type fading in with each name from the left side of the screen caught your attention, whilst the sound from the film had already started. Consisting of a radio report setting the theme and mood.

NY

I have been lucky enough to visit New York a few times already, when travelling America, on holiday and research trips. My experiences have taught me you can take a different angle away from the city every time you go, it completely depends on where and when you go in the ‘BIG’ apple. The shop windows are a museum to themselves and I have to admit the welcoming attitude inside the stores particularly the Designer ones, with their amazing in store environments seems to put them ahead of the UK shopping experience. From another View point I feel the city lacks heritage and it’s blocks are nothing on London’s complex streets, alleys and historic squares. Also the consistent bombardment of ‘I love New York’ advertisement is tedious and I think there is a lot more hype around the place than actually necessary. Possible that people are told they should love visiting, living, being in New York enough times, they actually believe it? The city is really one that never sleeps and there is so much to see and do. A fantastic diverse place to go.
