Consumerism. Every time I think I still pretend to live on writing about fashion, my thoughts are unavoidably link to these words: savage consumerism. 50 days to go until Christmas. And Oxford Street's lighting is inciting us to buy (mostly clothes in that street).
What is all this based on? Do we really need that latest garment to feel happy? Is actually the Western portrait of happiness?

Consumismo. Cada vez que pienso que aún pretendo vivir de escribir sobre moda, mis pensamientos van inevitablemente unidos a esas palabras: consumismo salvaje. Quedan 50 días para Navidad, y el alumbrado navideño de Oxford Street nos incita a comprar (sobre todo ropa en esa calle).
¿Y en qué se basa todo esto? ¿Realmente necesitamos tener lo último para ser felices? ¿Es este, en realidad, el vivo retrato de la felicidad Occidental?

Te entiendo perfectamente. AUnque la moda, no tiene por que ser sinonimo de consumismo. Eso depende de cada uno.
Sure we don't need!
But if we work hard we should also spend some money on superfluous things that makes us happy! If we don't spend our money with things that makez us happy we will get unmotivated to continue working...

I don't think the latest thing is always the choise. If I could I'd splurge in classics!

I think Christmas is all about making money, it has lost the true meaning...

Somos tan sumamente superficiales (yo la primera) que necesiatamos lo tangible para ser felices, para sentirnos mejor, para cubrir nuestras carencia, para todo...

It sure feels like it. The Xmas stuff went up well before Halloween over here. Bleah.
Hi there-I would just go to Oxford Street to window shop, eat and look at the lights, I don't get tempted anymore!
gotta agree! it's strange to think we are in a resession and yet the fashion market is still flourishing whilst the rest of us loose our job!

Oh, hmmmm I really don't know. We aren't massive consummerists ourselves, the people who already start decorating are.

I’ve never been to any place in euro. Well hopefully this place will be the first one that I will visit.
Thanks for sharing this photo. I just love looking at the streets of London.
I know what you mean, but good photo of the lights!
