Wardrobe delights

I ventured into the Ulster Museum this week for a short morning culture hit, and was absolutely blown away by the"Putting on the Glitz" exhibition, which hosts a variety of styles of evening dresses from the turn of the 20th century through to present day.  Being a bit of an all-things-Victorian-and-Edwardian junkie, the earlier styles attracted my attention:

The colours of this are so beautiful!:

The shawl on this mannequin was so exquisite!  It really is a work of art!

And although the sequins were a bit "much" for my taste, the cut of this evening gown is so flattering!

Reinforces to me that I was born in the wrong era! :)

My very first post.  Very exciting!  I like to play hostess, so I thought I would welcome you all to my blog with cake!  Here is a Victoria Sponge I made yesterday, filled with raspberry jam and buttercream:

Enjoy!
