East meets Westfield

Yesterday was the opening of the new Westfield London in Stratford based on the Olympic site. Which i will firstly say has got me so excited! Can not wait for 24 hour tubes, street parties and Tom Daley!
We headed over to the opening courtesy of Goldsmiths Boutique. Like many of the stores in the new shopping centre Goldsmiths Boutique is a completely re-branded store of the future. The selection of watches and jewelry on display felt very far from my high street expectations. Stocking limited edition pieces and designer treats. Being greeted by the lovely Joseph from Boudoir PR, Champagne in hand, we explored the collections and unwound in the mini-spa. Yes i said mini-spa... alas no Jacuzzi but massage, manicures and treatments, surely this is the only way to shop. At lunch we had the opportunity to open the goodies we received. I was most excited about the jeweled pencils however i am sure someone else will very much appreciate the Guess earrings they will get this christmas. After a fab lunch of mexican treats we headed over to the Fashion Rocks store to peruse some designer pieces and sip some more champagne. The whole environment of westfields felt very new and all about re-invention. The main court yard even had an electronic waterfall... real water is so par-say! The court yard also featured a selection of gorgeous window displays... I may have a slight bias opinion here as my flat mate may have done them.... i  am hoping for one of the masks to make its way home into our humble abode. Fabulous day and huge Thankyou's to Boudoir, Goldsmiths and Westfield. However the only flaw i could find in Westfield was its lack of East-end vibe... Oh roof top flat warming party in Brick Lane! Soon filled the void.
