CONCEPT STORES

ANTHROPOLOGIE

Anthropologie may be a little on the expensive side - but how pretty all the products are. The downstair area is full of the type of kitchen knick-knacks that wouldn't look out of place in Sophie Dahl's kitchen - think overpriced plates with pictures of the Eiffel Tower and deliciously scented kitchen candles. There are similarities with Urban Outfitters, but it's safe to say that Anthropologie is the slightly older sister - the prices are definitely for those on more 'adult' incomes. The clothes might be a little too expensive for my tastes - but downstairs are where the real treasures lie. I would recommend the store as a great place to go to buy slightly more unusual gifts for your friends and family.

DARKROOM

• 

• 

• Concept store, which opened at the start of 2010, adding further credence to Lamb's Conduit Street's claim to being one of London's most intriguing shopping destinations. The shop is quite literally dark (the walls and lampshades black), creating a blank canvas for the carefully chosen selection of unisex fashion, accessories and interiors items on sale. Designer items include Borba Margo bags, DMK glassware and Solomia ceramics. The space doubles up as a gallery, with displays intermingling with a range of sculptural jewellery by Florian, Scott Wilson and Maria Francesca Pepe. Each piece begs the question - do I wear it or hang it on the wall?

CONCEPT STORES

ECO AGE

Founded by Nicola Giuggioli, with help from his sister Livia and her actor hubbie Colin Firth, Chiswick's green-minded lifestyle shop was opened to prove that ecologically sound items can also look fantastic. It's a hotspot for all things green; from sustainably sourced designer homewares, ecological paints by earthBorn, wallpaper by the likes of Graham & Brown. There are plenty of surprises here - who'd have thought a blanket or a towel could be made from bamboo? But if you've only a few quid to spare, pencils made from recycled CD cases are just £2 and Maison Belle cleaning fluid starts at £3.95. The basement design consultancy advises amateur eco warriors.

DOVER STREET MARKET

It was like an art gallery. Each boutique has the look and feel of an art student's tableau.This 'market' is a great place to get inspired of new retailing and the buyers selection is very fine revised - The store is over 4 floors, man's wear and woman's wear mixed. You can make sure you are well looked after by a personal shopper. The changing rooms are theatrical but not so much comfortable.If you can afford it!!:)

REISS

As part of the essay I needed to visit some stores that uses new media technologies on their window displays, I thought London-Oxford and Regent Streets are right places to go. And yes I was right after 10 pm I had a long walk around there, best time for picture taken :)) I found very interesting window I did not know it exists.

5 YEARS PLAN

My 5 years plan;
1 year -I am staying for 3.year and I like to do work experience with a Stylist for 3 months. Also I like to complete my portfolio and put the best work I done in last 3 years. I would like to also pass my driving test as I might need it when I start to work in the industry.
2 year - When I graduate with success first thing I like to move to London as most jobs related to my subject is in London. I am hoping to get a job as an assistant stylist or if I can not get a paid job as it is very common I will intern for a year while I do this I have to get p/t job to support myself.
3 year -I strongly believe after year of interning will lead me to great experience and a JOB!! as a Stylist or assistant stylist.
4-5 year - I will start making my way back to Turkey. Research the job opportunity back there with the degree and work experience, and link to right people I will succeed my 5 years plan...
