I just spent a lovely weekend in London, attending Pure London (more on that later in the week). I found myself with some free time on Saturday and decided to stop by at the V&A. There’s always someting interesting to see, not to mention that the Museum is so big, I haven’t had the chance to see it all. So that’s what I did.
When you go in, you have a suggested donation for £3.00 but you don’t have to pay if you can’t afford it. Even if you did pay, a £3.00 ticket is a pretty good price for a place where you can spend the whole day… to me this is a perfect budget day out in London. I wandered around aimlessly, it was a good experience because you end up being surprised. I hope you enjoy the little things that caught my eye.
15th century love token jewelry. Some things never change, isn’t it?
Iranian tiles.
Elsa Schiaparelli
Elsa Schiaparelli (with me on the reflection)
Christian Dior
Balenciaga black and white polkadot dress.
And then I was kicked out. Next time I find myself in London with nothing to do, I am definitely going back.

I don’t go there often enough, but I love it!! Hugs x
Amazing, definitely go back. I wish I would have been able to get there as I kept seeing everyone’s photos and it looked so fab. Loved these. Am glad you went and enjoyed yourself. xx
Yes, there’s always something different or new to look at 🙂
Love the V&A, especially the clothing and jewellery, but all of it really, it’s easy to spend hours there. Great pics. xxx
It’s a great place to spend a day at.
I visited the 80’s fashion exhibition : was nice .
At the night, I like also to have diner in V&A restaurant empty,
Yes, I went there a couple of months ago and I loved it. Too bad they don’t allow photos in that area!
Ooh, I’ve never done that but sounds like something I would enjoy!
I’ve always wanted to go there, and have somehow never gone. I would like a week in London next time I’m in the UK. Forget the in-laws!
Bring the in-laws along!!!

I seriously didn’t realise they had Dior & Co. at the moment. Will need to get there asap. Thank you for the preview! x

Thank you!!! I love that place!
Thank you, darling girl, for the mini tour. Lovely. And doesn’t that embroidered floral look modern? Swear I’ve seen a version of it in several glossies.
It really wouldn’t surprise me… there’s loads of things that keep coming back, only with small updates on the tailoring…
I have spent sooooooo much time just wandering around the V&A. It is one of my all time favorite museums in the world. Love your photos. And you look lovely in Schiaparelli. You also,look lovely on Sacramentos stylish friends list!!
Hehe, it was really a surprise, to make it to the list!
