This weekend it really started to feel like Spring, or at least according to the flowers I saw in Richmond park on Saturday. I haven't been in a couple of years, even though I live pretty close. It's so nice to feel like your out in nature whilst still in London. On Sunday I visited the V&A (Victoria & Albert museum) , which, unlike Richmond Park, I visit all the time. I was disappointed to see the Fashion section is closed until Spring 2012, even though I have seen their permanent collection dozens of time before. The great thing about the V&A is it's so vast, there are still many collections I haven't seen before. I particularly enjoyed the theatre and film section on this trip. Vintage theatre posters are so inspiring, I wish I could take some home and put them on my wall! It's crazy to think what's on display is only a small portion of what the museum holds. Does anyone else have a favourite museum?

    I really love vintage theater posters as well! The graphics back then were so much nicer than they are today. Ah, well. But I do love your outfit! Great skirt and cardigan.

    Oh noes, 2012? I did so want to see the exhibit on Edwardian dresses as most styles sort of merge together in my mind after 1850. But I hadn't known about theatre posters and now will make sure to take a gander.

    The V&A is a great museum... I haven't been in too long. Time for another visit.

    Aren't the flowers amazing in London these days? I was also taking pictures of daffodils the other day, and I wasn't alone!
