If I ever did open a store, however, I would only hope that it would look something like Labour of Love, a somewhat new independent boutique in London. I've always identified more with London style than I have with New York, and this shop really personifies that look and spirit. It's located within spitting distance of my old apartment in Angel Islington, which would have been really dangerous had it existed when I lived there in 2003-4. The actual brick-and-morter store is a well-curated collection of clothing, accessories, books, objects, and music... a portion of which is thankfully available on their e-shop. Browsing the site has made me really miss London.

Oh, I think Labour of Love is absolutely wonderful! It would be my inspiration for a shop too!
What a lovely store! I'm dying for a pair of Finsk wedges!

Oh I love Labour of Love! I live a minute away from it! What a lovely surprise to see a shout out for it on your blog (which I found through your top ten vintage etsy posts)!
