Victoria and Albert Museum.









So like I said in my last post, earlier this week, well actually last week now, I went to London with my lovely boyfriend and while we were there we took a trip to the Victoria and Albert Museum in Kensington. Now a museum with a massive range of vintage fashion to me seems like heaven (quite unlike my boyfriend) so as you can imagine, I had an amazing time pondering over all the dresses and shoes and jewellery and everything else that they had on offer. Here are a selection of the photos I took of some of my favourite pieces. I particularly love the 1920s outfits in the last photograph as I have a slight obsession with that era and anything associated with it (The Great Gatsby coming out on boxing day, woooop). I also love the undergarments in the 6th picture, especially the yellow outfit. Anything high-waisted is always a winner for me. The old copies of Vogue that they had on display were also a huuuuuge hit. The one I took a photo of here is from December 1937 and cost only 35 cents, crazyyy. It's inspired me to get some old Vogue printouts for my new room at Uni and I've actually ordered some off ebay which I am really excited about. The ones I've ordered are from the 1920s so I absolutely cannot wait to put those up!

I hope you're all enjoying the end of the summer and thanks for reading!

This week in photos #2


(Harpers Bazaar October Issue; Cocktails at Kettners in Soho; Dogsitting for two weeks; Birthday presents for my momma; Last friday night; Naughty alcohol for freshers)


Ok so this post doesn't really fully explain my week as I went to London from for 3 days and as you can see this doesn't include any photos from there. Buttttt, I plan on dedicating a whole post to my little London getaway as I had such an amazing time and want to do it justice by giving it a post of it's own. How nice am I?! 
So anyway, hope you've all had a wonderful week and thank you reading
