Urban Cardiff

Urban Outfitters (UO) opened in Cardiff last Thursday, to much less fanfare than the same-day-opening Spitalfields store, which had Coco 'Hi I'm Sting's Daughter And I'm Cashing In On My Dad's Success' Sumners playing with her band.  

Hi Coco.

She's wearing Urban Outfitters in this picture.  Convenient.

On a recent London trip my friend bought this dress, which I love, from UO Kensington High Street.

She was deliberating over buying it because the price was a bit steep but then Annie Lennox walked into the changing room as we walked out and it just seemed like fate.  Yes, we slightly clutched at straws when jumping to this conclusion, but now whenever she wears the dress she'll think of the time we (sort of) met Annie Lennox.

Annie was trying on fake fur leopard print coats, in case you were wondering.

And yes, of course we're on first name terms, in case you were also wondering.

Anyhoo, back to Cardiff UO.  I took this picture last week, pre-opening.  What does Heluo and Helluo mean?  I'm fluent in Welsh and I'm 93.66% sure those words are made up.

Oh, I just got it. Hel U O.

Doesn't that guy with the coffee cup look like he's posing for me?  I think you've got the wrong shop dear, Hollister is in St. David's 2.  Just up the escalator and turn right, it's the one that looks like a middle class Brazilian brothel.

There's a far more informative post by Cardiff Fashion on the opening if you want actual information rather  than incessant wittering (pictures are from the CF blog too, apart from the one above). 

 Also, I'm venturing into Cardiff tomorrow so will let you know what I think.

Feel free to comment if you've already been in to the shop, a head's up would be super.
