Valentino Garavani is one of Italy's finest exports, admired for his exquisite couture creations and divine red carpet gowns. Unfortunately my gown collection is not yet underway, but one day I will have my Valentino number, and preferably an occasion to wear it. Whilst roaming around London a few days ago I stumbled upon the 'Valentino: Master of Couture' exhibition at Somerset House; a major exhibition celebrating the incredible life and work of Valentino Garavani. From photographs from his personal archive, to a couture fashion show revealing one hundred and thirty of his haute couture designs, I would honestly say the exhibition is a fascinating insight into the life of Valentino. Tickets cost £12.50, and I can safely say it was worth every penny. I even ventured into the gift shop in high spirits, feeling like an absolute fashionista and hoping to waltz out of Somerset House with a few of the finest Valentino souvenirs. Unfortunately I work in retail, thus could only afford the novelty £12 tote bag. At least I can do my food shop in style…

Here we have the designer tote bag that I am actually damn right chuffed with! Who says you need money to be stylish!?
This looks amazing! Not happy that you were in London and didn't tell me though Miss Hannah! ;) x
