Out And About - Shoes: Pleasure And Pain



I think it's pretty obvious that we both love shoes - like, love shoes. And we think it's pretty evident from our Savage Beauty Post that we also love the V&A so you can imagine our sheer excitement when an email popped into our inbox inviting us to preview the new Shoes: Pleasure and Pain exhibition at our favourite museum!

Here's what we got to over the course of the day and more importantly, what footwear we chose for the occassion!





Amy Says: As I travelled up from Oxford for the day (toddler in tow), my first footwear choice needed to be super comfy for the car and what better than trust Converse? But going to a snazzy press preview all about fancy footwear meant my second Shoe Of The Day needed to be something a little more exciting than 'everyday'. Step in Orla blimmin' Kiely, my shoe hero of SS15 and her comfy (thanks Clarks) yet cool retro-vibe sandals. These beauts are so easy to walk in, it's no wonder they are my 3rd pair from the collection - it meant I could wander around the exhibition and even managed a walk up Brompton Road too.






Naomi Says: I was super excited to be able to go to the pre launch cocktail party which was so much fun! Accompanied by blogger Charlotte Goodayle we went and saw the amazing exhibition, took lot's of from where I stands and drank the most yummy gin cocktails! It was such a lovely launch, everyone was dressed so amazingly and the footwear was a show in itself. I wore my new Dazzle sandals from Clarks which got so many compliments on the night! I wore them with a glittery sock to match my flower power dress from ASOS. They were so comfy and a great party sandal! Thanks so much for the V&A for inviting us, definitely head down to check out the Please & Pain exhibition yourself, you can book tickets here!







You can see this amazing exhibition for yourself now until January and we seriously recommend it.. Stay tuned on our Instagram @twoshoesonepair for an exciting competition!

Out and About - Savage Beauty



The V&A, easily our fave London museum, are very much known for putting on spectacular exhibitions, so naturally we were pretty excited when it was announced that the fashion legend that is Lee Alexander McQueen would have his work showcased. Having missed out on online tickets, we waited for the initial rush to die down (oozing with jealousy over every single bod on our IG feed who went before us!) and finally got to see the exhibition about a month ago.. and wasn't it worth the wait!











If you're the slighest bit interested in fashion, this is definitely a must see. Delving into the mind of one of the greatest creators, seeing all those show stopping pieces up close seeing the process of how one became the other - it was fantastic. The exhibition is on until 2nd August so there's still chance to catch this breath-taking collection

Out and About - Thea Porter


Last saturday I spent the day with Beyond Retro & a lovely group of bloggers and we headed to the Thea Porter 'Bohemian Chic' exhibition at the Fashion & Textile Museum. I have been wanting to go since seeing it in Timeout magazine a few months ago and it definitely did not disappoint!

I walked round in awe at the gorgeous shapes and detailing and reading all about Thea Porter & the start / evolution of 'Bohemian Chic'. I am obsessed with 70s and bohemian dressing so found it very interesting and inspiring and I will definitely remember details and pieces when I next go vintage shopping!

The exhibition is only on until May 3rd (in it's final week) so why not treat yourself and check it out this weekend over bank holiday, you can read more and book tickets here!
