THE GOOD....
THE LOFT
35 Monmouth Street
Covent Garden
London
WC2H 9DD
020 7240 3807
Nice and friendly staff, stock most of the usual suspects, Gucci, Prada, Dolce, Chanel, you name it they have for both men and women. This shop is unique as most of the clothes are new as they may have only been used on the catwalk or film shoots.
Rating 8/10 Definite place to go when shopping vintage.
THE VINTAGE SHOWROOM
14 Earlham Street
Seven Dials

WC2H 9LN
020 7836 3964
Very friendly staff the guy who looked after me could not do enough very impressive. The showroom is an Heritage store but has wonderful clothes. There is something for everyone not the usual suspects when it comes to designers so use you imagination, some pieces remind me of the clothes in the film "The Talented Mr Ripley".
Rating 7/10 worth a visit, their address is in my diary!!
BANG BANG SOHO
9 Berwick Street
London
W1F 0PJ
020 7494 2042
So so staff, but a generous offering of the usual suspect designers. There is a second store in Goodge street, London offering much the same, once again if you go in there is something for everyone.
Rating 5.5/10 but worth a visit, will keep them in my diary.
AND OF COURSE THERE MUST BE A UGLY....
MUSIC & GOODS EXCHANGE
28 Pembridge Road
London
W11
020 7221 0767
This has to be the most unique out of all the shops whether it be records, homewares, Gucci, Prada you name it they have it, but a bit low with the hangbags though. Customer service is a sore point I called and told them I wanted to sell a LV suitcase to which they were interested, when I arived it was a different story they seemed a bit surprised I was a man of colour. They made every excuse and spoke in a different language it was as though they were implying I was a possible "Crackhead". If you like designer drama this is the place to go.
Rating 2/10 staying clear of this place.

TODAY I'M ROCKIN'
Welcome to the Diary of a Clothes Horse
Welcome to the Diary of a Clothes Horse a blog about my love of clothes, my social diary and a lot more....
WHO IS CLOTHESHORSE??
Clotheshorse is a name I was branded with when I was growing up but i prefer Lee or Leroy. I'm a serious collector of fashion and I have an impressive archive of clothes. The designers I favour vary but my top 5 are:
John Smedley - for knitwear, a must-have staple for my wardrobe
Dolce and Gabbana - for cut and style
Gucci - for the dressing up factor
Giorgio Armani - for grown up days
Dior Homme - for fit and prestige
I can be a bit of a label snob but would have no problem wearing clothes from the high street as long as they offer me what I see when I buy designer wears VFM - value for money.
This is my first blog ever!!! but many more will follow, they will include my style, style of friends etc, my take on fashion, must-haves, recommendations and everything you need to know for a fab and stylish lifestyle. I will also reveal my favourite shops, where to get designer clothes at discounted prices and every now and again I will give away designer items. This blog will cater for both men and women's fashion and will answer any fashion questions you may have or if I can't will do my best to get the answer.
Until my next blog
Keep it stylish X
