Little Black Jacket

Yesterday i decided to be productive with my day off and visit a few exhibitions in London. As usual, my London timings were pretty messed up and i only managed to go to the Saatchi Gallery to see the Chanel 'Little Black Jacket' exhibition by Karl Lagerfield.
It was an absolutely amazing exhibition with four rooms full of stunning photographs styled by Carine Roitfeld, taken by Karl Lagerfield. The photos show different actors, models, singers and designers wearing the jacket. Each photo is styled in a different theme, for example victorian, rock chick or bohemian, showing the versatility of the classic jacket. I also got a free poster, which was a very welcome gesture. I would highly recommend trying to visit the exhibition as it's a beautiful display of an iconic design. It's only on until the 28th October this year - so crack out your rouge allure and get going!
If thats not possible, here are a few photos i took (please excuse the bad quality). 





















The last two images are taken in the cutest little cafe cum art gallery in Dalston, East London. It's called 'Other Cafe & Gallery' and is sandwiched between old furniture and textile shops. The owner is an interior designer which is obvious as soon as you go in as it's absolutely gorgeous. It kind of reminds me of my Nan's house, full of pretty little antiques in every nook and cranny. The food is also really good, and really cheap - two qualities that put together are far and few between in London! I will definitely be returning. www.othercafegallery.com
