Several weeks ago, I was walking down Westbourne Grove on my way home when a black and white sign, right beside my beloved Joseph, caught my eye: JAMES PERSE -- coming soon. My incredulous excitement could hardly be contained. The last (and only) time I was in New York six years ago I had an indulgent shopping spree at Barney's that predominantly consisted of "minimalist casual cool" American labels like Rag & Bone and James Perse. Ever since, I've been hooked. However I'm clearly not the only one with an unhealthy obsession with these labels; I could never actually manage to get my hands on anything I wanted (namely basic tanks and tees) on net-a-porter or Harvey Nichols due to the fact they were ALWAYS sold out/out of stock. Hence why the opening of a flagship James Perse store a mere five minutes away from my home is oh so beyond amazing. The store itself is absolutely gorgeous and is reminiscent of a New York Soho loft-style apartment and is, to my delight, absolutely massive. I snatched up two basic v-neck tees, one white and one grey, in US size 0 (that's the other thing -- finding tees that are fit my small frame is a bit of a nightmare) and left the store a very, very happy customer.
