A TEXAS GIRL'S RAMBLINGS OF TRAVELING IN LONDON AND SO FORTH...

Reuniting with Victoria and Albert
Exhibtion at the V&A
Early English sportswear-they even had a Juicy Couture track suit from 2004 there as part of the sportswear collection.
An Alexander McQueen and Karl Lagerfeld (Chanel) dress
Islamic Hall
In the Garden
Part of the 1:1 (Architects Build Small Spaces) Architecture exhibit- One of 7 Built Spaces
Medieval & Renaissance
V&A Museum from the Garden
1:1 Architects Build Small Spaces- Another of 7 built spaces-- Free standing wood structure which is meant to redefine archive space for books. Bascially just a 5 or so story staircase with 1000's of books (all spines facing inwards). Had to wait in line because they only let 4 people in at a time (it wobbled), and I woudln't really say it was worth it. And I'm a big lover of books and architecture...
I recently decided to fulfill a dream of mine and quit my job (not really part of the "dream", but necessary), and live in London for a year or so. Well since I don't have a visa, I can only live here for 6 months, so I'm taking that time and running with it. This will be the rants of my daily life in a new city with encounters of family, friends, architecture, design, and much much more through my writing and photography. Enjoy!
