Last month my husband and I took a quick trip to England, visiting his dear family and a few friends. With only one afternoon spent in London, we made it a priority to visit the Victoria and Albert Museum of art and design, a phenomenal source of inspiration for surface design! Unfortunately both the fashion and textile wings were closed on my visit, however the exhibits I did manage to see [and the gift shop] quickly propelled this museum to the top of my favorites list. I apologize for the window glare and lack of detailed notes, but had to share these anyway. Hope you enjoy!
All images by me, from the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, UK.

Space is not a brand-new concept but seems to have a bit of staying power in the world of fashion and accessories. I wish I could find more examples of astral objects for the home! Is it because this trend is fleeting, and you don’t change your home decor every day as you would a dress or pair of shoes? Is it too much to ask for a nice set of cosmic pot-holders, or throw pillows? I’m just saying.
