A Girl's Heaven (Victoria & Albert Museum)


It's raining a lot these days. And the forecast? Rain, more rain, more more rain. Besides staying at home and blogging, here's what I like to do on a rainy day in London: visiting the haute couture collection at the Victoria & Albert Museum in South Kensington. It's heaven. I could stand there for hours, admiring the perfect silk and the shiny crystals and the slim cuts designed to make the most of the female body, and the lace, and the detailed embroidery...
I stand close to the glass cases and every time I see a dress I like, I can't help but clasp my hands together and go all Oooooh and Aaaaah and isn't that pretty. So what. I'm a girl. My star sign is Libra. We Librans love beautiful things. I'm not buying. I'm just looking. It's okay.










And that ... was my short vacation in Heaven. Back to the rainy streets.
