When I was younger, I used to love trips to a particular South African department store. I hated leaving so much so that I used to dream about hiding in a tent in the ‘outdoors’ section, waiting for closing time and then having free reign of the store throughout the night to do exactly what I want (namely eat as much chocolate as I could stomach, try out all the fun gym equipment and then take a nap in ‘beds and bedding’). Even as an adult, I am still tempted by this idea, especially with stores like the San Francisco based boutique called BellJar. There is nothing I love more than an Aladdin's cave filled with eclectic, interesting, brightly coloured knick-knacks expertly grouped and beautifully displayed. The BellJar caught my attention for all these reasons, along with the fact that there seems to be so much variety in the stock. I also love that not only does owner Sasha Darling have a fabulous name and heaps of talent, but she is uber-stylish to boot!
What do you think? Would you happily spend the night in this shop?

Wow, Meghan! Magical place...I could spend hours and hours in there...but in the night...I don't think so, I'm not so brave!

it would be awesome to be left in a store all night!! i always thought that would be cool as a kid but there had to be some food involved, too :)
ReplyDeleteMost definitely! I probably would not want to take a nap, though - I would be up "shopping" all night.:)
ReplyDeleteYes, I would spend a week in this shop.
