dress - Beyond Retro / bag - vintage Russell and Bromley

Hello all, long time no see! Hope everyone enjoyed their delightfully rainy bank holiday as per?

These photos are from last Saturday when I went to see the Audrey Hepburn exhibition and a look round Brick Lane. If you get a chance to go and see the exhibit I would definitely recommend it, although what I would say try and not look at your reflection in any of the portraits because you will feel very, very ugly. It isn't a large exhibition but it feels really immersive, which sounds ridiculous but is true. It really reinforces why Audrey is such an inspiration for many, including myself.

Following the exhibition I went and looked Brick Lane, which I totally miss whilst I'm up at uni in Birmingham. I have to try and get my vintage shopping fill before I head back up! My dress was purchase at the start of the summer from Beyond Retro's Brighton store and hadn't really gotten round to wear it, so whilst it's stiller relatively warm I was determined I was going to wear it. In theory, it's kind of everything I don't like in  a dress? Pink, drop waist, all things I don't usually like/wear, but I think this dress is just perfect! Maybe proof I should stop being so close minded!

How are we all? Enjoying the sunshine still?

I've been in London the past couple of days, having travelled up to see Cumberbatch's Hamlet. I personally thought it was AMAZING, as an English student I obviously love a bit of theaatreee darling, and think that what this production did so well was the total contrast between the comedic and tragic elements of the play. I would agree that having the whole 'to be or not to be' shizzle right at the play's open took the wind out of it's sails a little,  but I think that was almost the beauty of it, reverting it back to a powerfully delivered piece of dialogue, without having the audience holding their breath waiting for it. I also cannot even describe how incredible the set was, beyond gorgeous, when the curtain lifted there were actual gasps around me!

BUT back to clothes. I wore this little 60s number for trading around London yesterday, which was VERY warm. I used to wear a lot more 60s items/hair than I do now, veering more towards pin up/50s things, so it was nice to have a little change! I do have a lot of love for a mod dress, and even better this one's covered in floral embroidery, two of the faves in one!
