Foale and Tuffin exhibition, Fashion & Textile museum London

This was my first time at the Fashion & Textile Museum, Founded by Zandra Rhodes, since it opened in 2003
The building itself is fab, bright orange and pink certainly stands out from the rest.




We went up to see the Foale and Tuffin exhibition, Marion Foale and Sally Tuffin were young designers in the early 60's and opened up shop in 1965, just off Carnaby Street.
There were so many gorgeous dresses and trouser suits out on display at the FTM, I felt like a kid in a sweet shop, or a dog in a butchers!



It was like stepping back in time with the walls covered in pictures of Foale & Tuffin Illustrations, photos of Twiggy and Pattie Boyd, among others, and 60's iconic pop drifting through the speakers! I was in Heaven for a short while.




Here's the infamous "Double D" Dress as modelled by Jenny Boyd in 1966
and the "Domino" Dress, (the print was designed by Zandra Rhodes)
I will definitely be popping in there again, I vote Biba next time!
Keep an eye on their website to see what exhibitions they are doing next!

Photos of London, Covent Garden / Soho / Etc

I just love wondering around London with a camera, theres always something to be snapping at!
Here a few pics from my last adventure!


Preparing for Chinese New Year, which is this weekend peeps! will be going back to get more picciepics!



These cute lasses where in Beyond Retro, one of my favourite shops I got a cute vintage 50's style americana cheer leaders jumper, its to die for so cute!



The best window display I've seen in ages!



This strip joint reminded me of the vintage/retro ones of the early 60's, if this was on the Reeperbahn Hamburg then you probably would of seen The Beatles piling in!!

Last but by no means least Girlies.... Look who I found lurking around Covent Garden!!

xmas, nowhere boy again,

Well Hello 2010!
My bad! I havent posted anything in nearly a month!

clothes, dvds, cash, smellies, make-up, a Vivienne Westwood Orb necklace and other stuff (so obv my fam love spoiling me too!)

Re my last post O. M. G. Nowhere Boy is sooooo good! its done so well, better than anything like "The John Lennon Story" or "Backbeat" (although I do like Backbeat!)

John Lennon Nowhere Boy Film

I'm just so excited about this film its unreal!!!
I've been a Beatles fan (thanks to my mum) from birth!!! and a John Lennon fan since my mum showed me the film Help! when I was 8 years old, and I fell in love there and then!
Well this film is gonna be good I just know it, if anybody out there has read 'In my Life' by Johns school friend Pete Shotton (which by the way is my fav JL book) then this film looks just like an adaptation of that book
AMAZING!
heres the trailer

I can see me seeing that a few time at the cinema!

Gok Wan in Bluewater

Went to see Gok Wan today at Bluewater, he was there signing hes new book, Work your Wardrobe,

well the break to Devon was amazing really didnt want to come home, we were lucky to have really gorgeous weather that week
went to the most fab place called Bygones (http://www.bygones.co.uk/) which is a great nostalgic place to wonder round with a whole replica 19th century high street
set up inside with a sweet shop, toy store, ladies clothes shop, pub, bakeries etc! so adorable I felt as though I was in Oliver! the musical!
we also went to Becky falls were theres loads of waterfalls and an amazing "money tree", were you had to place a coin in, so the pixies would look after you in your travels!!(see photos)
the views are all so beautiful, living in Dartford and Chatham all my life I forgot places like this exsisted!

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest / Give Away Sneaky Peek

My absolute fav film & book of all time is One flew over the cuckoos nest

McMurphy: Is that crazy enough for ya'? Want me to take a shit on the floor?
McMurphy: What do you think you are, for Chrissake, crazy or somethin'? Well you're not! You're not!
You're no crazier than the average asshole out walkin' around on the streets and that's it.

Jack Nicholson is my favourite actor hes also fab in The Shining (another bloody good film!)
I also like Girl Interupted (Lisas my fav character)

which obv is very similar to One flew where they are both set on psychiatric wards!
(when I was younger I really wanted to work on one!)
if you have not seen One flew yet you really must its a great story, funny and the friendship between McMurphy and the Cheif is beautiful
I'm currently reading On the Road by Jack Kerouac, but my next read me thinks might be Tom Wolfes Electric Kool Aid Acid Test,
appantley they are making it into a film?!
and I must read the book before I see the film!

what are you all reading?, and what are your fav films and why?

heres a sneaky peak of the give away prize I'll be doing soon, a soon as I get all the bits together and figure a way to win this prize!
