Around Harrods (at Christmas), Knightsbridge, London

What's the Curbappeal?

- the jaw-dropping Christmas lights and gorgeous window displays. 

- A walk round the Christmas and toy departments is a must, they're magical!

With love,

Harrods' legendary Christmas lights and window displays...

Harrods teddy's are adorable...

Must be one of the worlds most expensive Doll's Houses for nearly £8,000...

And, a child's electric sports car for £13,000...

Or, a child's electric Range Rover for £40,000...

And now, time for food! ...

Some colourful lollipops - delightful!

Manicure review: Urban Retreat, Harrods. Sunday 2nd December 2012.

It's Curbappeal:
- set within one of the most famous (art deco style) department stores in the world...there's something rather decadent about getting a manicure here
- escape the crowds to 'Urban Retreat'. The nails area is a large, light & airy space set on a mezzanine area overlooking the bustling hair salon


Treatment rating: excellent. I opted for an 'artistic' nail colour, which is basically the same as shellac - ie gel based polish to give that longer lasting. Huge colour choice. I went for the classic A/W12 purple look, choosing the quirkily named "Cavair for breakfast"

The bill: £55 for a manicure that lasts for over 3weeks seems worthwhile, but£4.50 for a small bottle of sparkling water....??

Anything we didn't like: Treatment was great but paying over the odds for the bottle of sparkling water was a little galling

Recommended: Yes. Try come on a Sunday if you want a more relaxed atmosphere. If you prefer a more bustling spa come on a Saturday & enjoy a pedi & manicure sat next to your friends
