Ballgowns at the V&A...

♥ Ceri makes...  kept at bay from the bank holiday rain with a trip to my favourite London gallery the Victoria and Albert museum with Kate.  The exhibition brings together a lovely collection of ballgowns from the 1950s right up to the pieces fresh from the catwalk collections of some of the most exciting British design houses including McQueen, Giles Deacon, Mary Katranzou, Gareth Pugh and Erdem to name a few. 


The newly extended exhibition space in the V&A fashion gallery has been beautifully constructed;  the domed platforms subtly mirror the drama of the domed ceiling. 


The Ballgowns - British Glamour since 1950  exhibition is on until 6th January 2013 so there is still plenty of time to make a trip if you haven't already!

Feeling Jubilant...

♥ Ceri makes...  truly enjoyed the jubilee weekend and fully embraced the patriotic spirit!

Along with most of the country I celebrated the jubilee with LOTS of cake!  My friends Hatty and Mark hosted a wonderful jubilee tea party to mark the occasion.  Here is just one of the many delicious cakes that they served at their jubilee tea party...


To get into the spirit even more I also joined in with some red, white and blue dressing over the weekend in my absolute favourite print from the range of quirky jubilee products at Topshop.  SO cute!


 Happy Diamond Jubilee to our Queen Lizzy!

Summer summer summertime...

♥ Ceri makes...  the sun has FINALLY arrived in London after far too many grey days.  So in true Brit style I've been taking every opportunity to enjoy every last ray of sun!


Here are some of my favourite spots in London when the sun is shining...

Primrose Hill - for evening sunsets and gorgeous views of London

Soho Square - for a bit of 9-5 lunchtime sun


Clapham Common & Wandsworth Common - for weekend lounging

Southbank or anywhere along the river - for afterwork drinks and relaxed mooching

Victoria Park - for summer music

Hyde Park - for rowing boats on the Serpentine!

Fingers crossed it lasts!
