Street Snaps: V&A Museum

We apologise for the lack of street snaps on this post because we got distracted by all the pretty stuff in the Victoria and Albert Museum, which ended up in a discussion of where in Asia we would like to live, result: we can't decide :(

Rianna: While walking through the really long infamous subway to the V&A museum we saw this girl. We though that is was the cutest casual outfit for museums in London. The bright coloured dress with the jeans jacket was the perfect combo for the weather that day.

Rianna: Now this outfit we just loved. Every girl should have a black skater skirt in her closet. The boots and the blouse gives it a subtle lolita style. Which just makes this outfit even cooler.

Now when we saw this outfit all we could think of was cute belt. We think that it's a cute outfit for a bike ride around London.

Here are our outfits of the day:

Rianna: I decided to sparkle on a rare sunny day with a gold midi dress 

Rianna: Melissa following trend with the black jacket and ponytail.

Our fantastic find for today was Chinese Actress: Fan Bingbing's "Dragon Robe" which she wore for the 2011 Cannes festival which is on display at the V&A. The dress was co-designed by the Chinese designer Laurence Hsu and Fan herself. The dress features two leaping dragons and crashing waves on the hem in the bright yellow colour that only emperors could use in Ancient China.

Below are a few more photos from our day over at the museum~ 

 Melissa: I want a teeny tiny waist like that =.=

Rianna:Our immediate thought was Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy from Pride and prejudice. 

Rianna: This was the beginning of the collection. The dress is by Topshop in 2009 and that stunning Necklace is Christian Dior.

Melissa: We should've come here earlier for our textiles homework that we were given over the summer~

Rianna: This section was cool because it was the return of the fashion houses in 1947 after WWII.
