Weekend in London - Part 1



mmmmmm

 

 

These could easily have been worn in Pride & Prejudice, love how these were only 'walking' clothes

 

Beautiful!

How wide is this ballgown?! Love how women of the time were just 'expected to gracefully make their way through doorways'

 

Hello! :-)

This is part 1 of the photos I took whilst in London last weekend.

On the Saturday, we headed straight to Covent Garden, one of my favourite places in London. As usual there was a street entertainer on when we arrived, who actually juggled with knives upside down, pretty crazyyy I know. We then met up with my cousin for lunch in Bill's which was lovely. I had a grilled halloumi cheese, hummus & roasted pepper burger, seriously delicious!

 Afterwards we had a wander round Carnaby Street, Liberty was one of the department shops I really wanted to go in and ooooh it's just so pretty!

On Sunday we went to the V&A Museum, primarily to see the fashion section, showing clothing from the 1700's through to the 1960's. I took more or less photos of everything in there but have featured my favourites in this post.
