Oxford Street Shopping!

My mom-in-law and I decided to take on Oxford Street for some high street wig shopping. Now let me just put it in perspective. If you want to go for extravagant shops with extravagant price tags Oxford and Bond streets are the places to go in London.

We started our search for wigs at a grand store with a nice wig studio, Selfridges. On entering the shop I immediately knew there would be a premium on the price. Therefore, I tried on a few and on hearing the price (equal to about five theatre tickets on the West End!) I very politely reply that I'll think about it, and thought by myself that I love the theatre much more...

From there we went on to House of Fraser. On entering the wig shop, we were met by a very friendly and helpful young woman. The best part - the wig shop is closing down on Sunday and EVERYTHING in store is less 50%. What a bargain!!

So, I left the shop with a short bob-style wig, wig shampoo, conditioner and a spray, for less than one West End theatre ticket. When showing off my new wig to my husband, he replied: "are you silly, at that price you should buy a blonde and red wig as well! This is the one time in your life you can really play around with your hair".

So, on that note I went back and got myself a wig with longer hair as well. And yes, I did try on the blonde wig - it really didn't suit me.

We are having lots of fun with the new hair styles. Come to think of it, there are lots of things we can laugh and have fun with during this cancer-road.

I hope you will be doing FUN things this coming weekend. Even silly things! Life is just to short and our loved ones just to precious to not have have fun, every day of the week and twice on Sundays!
