Grace Kelly

On Monday, after class, I went again to the Victoria & Albert to finally see the Grace Kelly exhibit! It was beautiful, showing videos of her movies, as well as footage of her at royal events. I saw her Oscar gown, her wedding suit for her civil wedding, her shoes, jewels, etc. It was interesting to watch her style shift from very classic, simple, tailored dresses by Cassini and Helen Rose that she wore as a young actress, to ornate, more colorful figure-forgiving caftans by Yves Saint Laurent as she got older.


We were not allowed to take pictures, but I was on a rogue mission to take a pic of her Hermes Kelly bag!

Mission Accomplished!

Afterwards, I bought a cappuccino and scone and sat in the most beautiful room in the V & A.



I think I stared at the ceiling for 10 minutes.



Then, on to Fortnum & Mason to pick up some tea for Mom. I have many treats for her!



Only one more day of class left! Cannot believe that my month in London has flown by - I love this city and it was wonderful to live here, even if for short time.

Cannot wait to see Edmund at the airport! And my family later on in the week!
