New Look vs Primark - can Lily save the day?

I popped down to New Look on Oxford Street at lunchtime today. And I can safely say that is was a veritable oasis of (brightly coloured) calm - despite it being the first day of the Lily Allen collection going on sale.

Yes, there were no Kate Moss For Topshop-style queues here today. Despite a very pretty display of models (one revolving, no less) at the entrance...

...and despite a massive picture of Lily in the window. Yes, despite New Look and Topshop's best celebrity-led efforts, it seems that Primark could be winning the battle of the high street - because Oxford Street was full of people carrying those huge brown bags of theirs (as in this picture here). Still, considering what you can get for your money in Primark, it's not too much of a surprise that those bags are so big, is it?
