Davina Boutique - 82 Lordship Lane

[Pickle]

Hookers and their kids... based on my brief look in the window as I walked past earlier today. Quite bizarre. Will try to keep an open mind and go for a proper look this weekend.

[sweetgirl]

im gonna have a look one of these fine days...........

will get back to you>:D<

[Dodo1]

Lelly Kellys! As any parent of a girl will tell you these are the must have item for this year- oh no!

[macroban]

Face it. You're all getting old. EDF members are not the BeBo generation.

[Curmudgeon]

Just looked in window - it sells Lelly Kelly shoes - yuk, yuk, yuk - chavtastic

[Cassius]

Oh God I am old - I don't even know what Lelly Kelly shoes are :(

[Curmudgeon]

no Cassius, not old. Just lucky not to have kids' tv on.

Lelli Kelly shoes arrrgghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Pickle]

That ad happened to come on the other day and my little boy was completely transfixed (didn't pay much attention at the time to see what was being advertised) - he's 16 months old - so I can only imagine that if you have a girl the right age you'd never hear the end of it. But hey, look on the bright side, there's now somewhere local you can go to buy the shoes and put an end to the pleading!

[Cassius]

Thanks C - I feel better for that - in fact we don't watch ads at all really let alone kids ads.

[Dodo1]

All I can say is they are not cheap!! And I hope that the little one does not go past this shop- ever!

[Asset]

But you get a 'free' gift with them......

[shoshntosh]

re: Lelli Kelli shoes... after over a year of (intermittent) pleading and begging, i finally caved and bought my daughter a pair for her 5th birthday. i spent a small fortune on them (they were her ONLY birthday gift from us) and she has worn them, um, MAYBE three times since then (four months ago). so... i've learned my lesson. there will be no such momentary weaknesses in my future... no shoes with toys in the sole (have you heard of these crazy things?), nor shoes with roller skates in the heel. plimsolls and mary janes for school. maybe some wellies. i have only myself to blame. :-$

Davina McCall....mmmmmmmm......yum yum

Went to Davina Boutique today. The shop looks lovely, ideal for our high street. There's too many cheap people making cheap comments on this forum. If you're that cheap go down to Primark and buy your cheap shoes from there.

LOL

[SimonM]

You tell 'em!, 1st time poster Chim...>:D

[HonaloochieB]

So Lelly Kellys have got toys in the sole. In my younger days we had WAYFINDERS. Stout black lace-ups, the kind William Brown used to wear.On the soles were raised animal footprints, badger deer etc which would stencil into any muddy or soft surface you walked on. Until of course they wore away. But best of all in the right shoe there was a little flap in the heel, lift it up and hey presto, a compass. Fantastic.

I lived on Waterloo Road at the time and there was no wildlife to speak of, and annoyingly I never once got lost and had cause to use the compass.

Still they were both there if I needed them.

This shop looks tacky and dated already. Ugh! You would have to be from Croydon to think it was classy. Yuck.

[HonaloochieB]

Croydon? Too too ghastly.

I have never seen so much SNOBERRY and PREJUDICE!!!I am digusted! I live in Croydon and for you and HonaloochieB to make such comments about Croydon you have to be both of these. To judge people for where they live and assume they are all the same is out of order. Just because some of you were "born with a silver spoon in your mouths" doesn't give you the right judge others that weren't.

By the way before you judge me as well, my parents are educated, me and my husband are educated and both running our own businesses; but that doesn't mean I despise people less fortunate than me.

And what is this gathering of snobbs throwing such nasty comments at your local shoe shop? I just can't understand it and feel sorry for that shop, well actually in all fairness no publicity is bad publicity.

SHAME ON YOU!

[macroban]

It's not my local shoe shop.

Mine is Barratts.

I have no idea why people are so upset about this shoe-shop either. I think several people have gone OTT in their attacks on it. Either shop there or don't but I can't see why this seemingly unassuming (in a boudoirish kind of way) little shop attracts so much ire

And I'll make no great claims about East Dulwich either - BUT.. come on. Croydon. I have several friends who live there. ALL of them want to leave. I've gone out several times in Croydon and bar the Beer Circus (now closed) it's.... a typical British "new town". Like Swindon. (I've lived there too). You live there and you are happy and that's great but you must be able to see why people (and not just on this forum. Most newspapers have a go. It didn't do too well in those CrapTown books either) take the proverbial? Don't take it so personally

Ahhahhahhhhahahhhhahhahhahahha LOfarkinL - Are you sure?

To add - why do you care so much eh?

Sorry - have to add more - to register and post first time just to defend this shop surely smacks of an ulterior and defensive motive. We don't really care and most people on here are not snobs.

I went in the shop the other day with an open mind and it is SHIT. Personally for those prices I'll spend a few more quid and buy a decent pair of shoes from M Louboutin.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Out of all the shops that have opened , I for the life of me can't understand why THIS one is getting so much flak.... I really can't

I have no connection to them and am unlikely to be their target audience but give them a chance - what have they done to anyone?

[Asset]

nothing Sean. I would not have said a word if it wasn't for the number of new posters frantically bigging them up.
