New Obsession: V&A Gift Shop

The Victoria & Albert Museum in London is my favourite museum in the world.  There is something beyond cool about it.  Maybe it’s the late Friday nights they have there (booze and djs  and themes, brilliant), an incredible mix of old and new or that they have some of the best permanent and special fashion exhibits (Vivienne Westwood, Anna Piaggi, Kylie Minogue).  Did I mention they also have one of the best gift shops I have ever seen?

You MUST check it out.  When they have a special exhibit, they always pull out all the stops.  But what they have as part of their regular selection is just as good!  So here are some of my top picks from the current collection.  And you can shop online!    Yay!
