WHAT IS LUXURY? V&A

This weekend, instead of catching up with all the unfinished homework and ridiculous amounts of art, my mum and I headed up to London to go see the What Is Luxury? and Design Takes London exhibitions at the Victoria and Albert museum.

  

When we got there we got a bit lost considering all the exhibitions were scattered around and not in one place like the Alexander McQueen gallery, which left us wondering around aimlessly trying to find particular displays. Then when we finally did find them (after my mum took the map and turned it the right way up) we were both a little bit disappointed and almost expected a bit more design and fashion instead of the odd jacket found amongst slightly random displays.

In all honesty though, the previous time we had come to the V&A, we experienced the Alexander McQueen fabulousness which was to say the least AMAZING! So to be fair it would be impossible to beat that kind of standard of an exhibition. Even so, if you find yourself walking around Kensington, I recommend just having a look in, even if it is only for an hour or more.

HELLO AUTUMN

Everyone enjoys different things about Autumn and all the other seasons. Here a few of my favourite things about Autumn. Enjoy (:

Autumnal colours

Painting on the rainy days

Peppermint tea (which is now an out of control dilemma. Send help)

Sunny, but cold crisp days

Bonfire night with friends

Fluffy blankets and  oversized hoodies

Butternut squash soup (if you make a good soup, you're basically in)

Dark coloured make up, especially the berry lipsticks

Boots, every type and finally,

PUMPKINS (they just overall make me happy)

FRIEDA BLACK SUEDE SHOES

On a recent trip to Portsmouth with my family, we popped into Clarks on the hunt for a pair of new school shoes for my sister. Honestly, I was so surprised at the shoes that they had in stock and they weren't the type at what I was expecting to find.

Whilst looking round, I found these Frieda Black Suede shoes and I fell in love.

I thought they would be perfect for the autumn and winter season, with the black suede look and slight heel, also meaning they go with pretty much everything. To be honest, they weren't even that pricey in for shoes going at a £40.00 price. Don't mind me, I'm gonna leave y'all to it and continue to cry dramatically in Spanish because of my lack of ability to spend money well.
