I finally went to Harrods to see what all the fuss was about and now I understand. The building is a grogeous red-orange color with great architecture. From the outside, the store reminds me of the Macy's in Manhattan, with its green awning and decorated windows lining each wall of the building. But inside, Harrods is a world of its own.It has a bakery section, where you can buy breads, muffins, cakes, cookies and so many different kinds of pastries. The candy section is full of Easter candy and has a delicious looking ice cream station. There's a section for wine and cheese and all sorts of different condiments. My favorite section is of course the chocolate and dessert section. In preparation for Easter, Harrods has many chocolate ducks and eggs. One of the eggs is big enough to fit inside a mini fridge! There are gift packagings that have Easter scenes all created with chocolate. Even if you're not one for sweets, this section is worth checking out just for its creativity.
Harrods also has the usual clothing and handbags sections, but another favorite of mine is the women's shoe section. You will find any type of heels here that you can think of. There are shoes with sparkling heels and shoes that look like mice. There's so many colors and brands, this section is definitely a girl's dream come true!
Another section worth checking out is the home decor section. Harrods has some of the most interesting lamps and chandeliers I've seen. Most are pure crystal and bring a warm atmosphere to the room.
I would say Harrods is more of a tourist attraction than an actual department store and it's so big that you can spend a whole day in there and still not see all of it. But it has some of the most interesting objects I've ever seen!
