Walking in London

Here are some pictures as I was strolling around London. Take a look!

Around King's Road

Love those double decker buses-

Food and Shoes.... It doesn't get better

These were too cute not to show you

The weather was perfect for walking. A big snow storm hit London that weekend-I was glad to be back in sunny LA.

More to come on my adventures in London!

  Love,

Chinese Portrait Book

I wanted to show this antique Chinese book I got on Portobello Road on my last trip to London.

It has 10 fabulous portraits.

I picked my three favorites below.

What do you think of these?

Hope I can find something great on my trip next week!

I'll be looking and taking pictures.

Off to London town

I'm off to London for a few days on business. 
When I get back, I'll have some great photos and stories to tell!

Sketches by Valentino

Hope you enjoy feasting on these pictures as much as I have..these are images(only some) from a 1993 Desk Calendar by Shirley Kennedy (gifted to me by Wallace Bond)  3 of the sketches from Valentino+stay tuned for more designer sketches in other post.

isn't this bathing suit sketch something!

description under each sketch-"Stripe it rich: a shapely Lycra swimsuit in Valentino red & white stripes. A giant signature foulard, gold hat and matching jewelry add excitement"

little pink suit "Via Condotti: a luscious pink light-weight wool crepe suit is detailed with that famous Valentino bow, lots of gold buttons and a saucy short skirt"

little red evening dress..."Alla plazzo: vivid Valentino red for a fantasy evening gown with a draped off the shoulder neckline and full sheer sleeves"

All of the proceeds from this fabulous 1993 desk calendar went to DIFFA!
 That even makes it more special to me! 
Thanks, Wallace.
