On the last day with my parents we went to the giant whole foods in Kensington, and then briefly visited the V&A. Each time I see the Costume section in the V&A I am reminded how they took the HUGE selection of antique textiles you could view behind these glass drawers. You could even take them out and study them closer. I think they might be in the design museum now, which has an entry fee! I wish that the display of "fashion" was better and complementary to the business that makes up most of the uk's economy.

I'm considering going into museum curation so that I can make those kinds of awesome things more accessible to visitors.
Love brooches! Very pretty! I wish I knew the History museum in Madison, WI had such a huge array of antique and vintage costume, when I was there every other week. Trying to visit soon!

that brooch is to die for! xxx
Beautiful people and I guess - great food.
What school will you go to? I really hope you do, because this was a HUGE disappointment when I moved here!!!!!
I truly wish there was more here!
Thanks! I lost the very same one when I moved here and was lucky to find another one to replace it in my price range since it is very collectible/valuable
Thanks! Yes the food was magical, my plate of food was gluten free, and everything allergen free...but tasted so good I had to go and re read the menus to make sure it I fact WAS gluten free!
Sounds like the perfect day, omg that brooch if you ever want to sell it? hah! xxx
You could take things out and TOUCH them? Wow! I can't wait to travel to London some day.
I really like your eye makeup in these pictures. It reminds me of Moira Shearer's in The Red Shoes. What do you use to get such a precise lines?
I was a really fun day! Sell it? Never!
You couldn't touch them, they were under a piece of glass, kind of like a giant and shallow shadow box that you would hang for decoration on the wall. You could take that out and place it down on a table and take pictures or draw from it. Thanks about the makeup! I started to do my eyes like that after being obsessed with Moira shear! Also unfortunately, my only tip for the precise lines is lots of practice! I did it by hand with a liquid eyeliner thin brush.
Ahhh! I see. Thank you so much for the clarification.
Moira Shearer!!!!! Even just her name!!!!
I know her name is the besttttt
You should visit the new V&A clothworkers centre, they have so many beautiful things. You just have to make an appointment Also I work in the central saint martins archive which has lots of delightful fashion illustrations and clothing! Bath fashion museum is also lovely, the things on display are so so but the archive is incredible !! XX
