This is a whole new world to me, but I endeavour to start as I mean to go on. This past month has been a busy one, and the sunshine has only just started to frame my days beautifully. Here is a catch-up of my previous couple of weeks;
1... Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland was released, and I went to see it on the night it came out with a group of friends... a brilliant adaptation of Lewis Carroll's masterpiece, I must say.
2... I visited Selfridges to take a peek at the Alice In Wonderland window displays and WonderRoom shop. The windows were charmingly dressed as an array of tea parties, and featured Johnny Depp's original costume for the film, designed by the talented Colleen Atwood. Inside the WonderRoom was showcased Wonderland themed hat designs by Philip Treacy, who is the creator of some of Lady Gaga's avant garde head-wear. Whilst there, I bought an adorable 'Mad-Tea Party' brooch from 'buddug.com'
3... Mother's Day, and I took another trip to London town with my family to Claridge's Hotel for afternoon tea... my first time and it was delightful! I also spotted a number of famous faces there too!
4... I visited my favourite museum, the V&A, to see their current major exhibition 'Quilts 1700- 2010', featuring a Tracey Emin work, who is one of my favourite artists! The exhibit is on until 4th July 2010. I also took a look around at their fashion and textiles displays, noticing a recent acquisition of an Alexander McQueen piece from his 2010 collection. On the way home I took a de-tour to Harrod's who also have an Alice In Wonderland collection of window displays.
... It really seems as though my March and April have been designated to all things 'Wonderland'! I will post all other pictures up in a post tomorrow x
