Shopping in Seville

There are a few pics from Seville that I want to save for posterity, just as an aide-memoir for if I return in a few years and can't remember where to go and what to see.
The shopping was fabulous, there is quite a fashion culture in the area, particularly for kid's clothes.
Carolina Herrera goes back to her roots here, and as I understand her daughter was married to a local matador, the CH shop in Seville was beautiful.  I loved the interior design and could easily have moved in.



As it was festival time, all of the streets were covered with red carpet, what a way to shop!



This was a super modern brand with amazing clothes...


I stupidly didn't photograph the sign to this shop, it is a Spanish designer and this is their outlet store, nothing cost more than 100 euros, the trousers below are cashmere as is the top.  I am not showing them to their best, but the quality was lovely.



I bought the dress below, as I got a bit carried away with the whole Seville glamour thing (and it is the first time I have ever had the semblance of a waist)



Ever the internet fiend, I also met a girl in a bar (via Ebay) and bought a 4000 euro dress from her for 400 euros, more on that later...

      it's not 'the' dress, the big purchase was a local designer flemenco style evening dress, getting it back on Ryan air, it practically needed it's own seat!

      The shopping is best for kids, you won't be able to resist, the clothes are just so much better than anywhere else. It's the cute little linen and handmade lace dresses and cashmere coats that I really loved!

      I think I had overdone the fake tan on my face though, I look like I might have a liver complaint.

    I'm laughing away at ' met a girl in bar via ebay bought a dress"!
    Yes your figure is incredible, it's like Elle Macpherson's, I think I'd come up to your hip bone.
