The Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle.







The Alexander McQueen dress!



What I'm wearing: Coat - Vintage Rosette / Skirt -
Urban Outfitters / Shirt - Primark / Bag - Mary Portas /
T-Bars - Primark / Sunglasses - H&M



Last Thursday I was lucky enough to score a trip to the Bowes Museum in Durham to see the Birds of Paradise Exhibition.

The trip was organised by my lovely course leader Julie, and it truly was a fantastic day out. We were even able to meet and speak to the museum's fashion and textiles curator Joanna Hashagan.

The Birds of Paradise exhibition was amazing. I'm even saw the Alexander McQueen White Swan Feather dress IN THE FLESH.(See Pictures) It was in a glass cabinet but hey-ho. 
I can't express how beautiful it was to lay my eyes on such an extravagant dress. My friend Beth and I had a fabbity fab time exploring the castle and the grounds. We took some lovely photos on her snazzy camera too, which turned out pretty well since the weather was glorious for once!* Do be sure to check out Beth's blogs too here and here, and give her a cheeky follow!

*:Blogger Problems: Your outfit is always on point when the weather is crap and photos aren't even an option. 


All in all it was a fabulous day and I'm so happy to be able to share it with you all.

Love Rosie
