Post it for the week-end (March 06-07, 2010)
There’s spring in the air, get your snickers ready!
- Go and enjoy the East London Festival – so rich in music festivities, world culture, architecture, guided tours…
- Play with words @ the London Word Festival
- Add a splash of colour with this Hindu festival
- take the kids to a different week-end @ Barbican – poetry, Indian lanterns, bollywood dances…
- Since you’re @ Barbican, try a little alternative music. Yep, those are real birds. And it’s free!
- Fancy a little Alice in your week-end? Here a Mad Hatter Ball, here a little bit more about Lewis Caroll’s talents, and there a colourful tea-time…
- Oh, don’t forget, it’s National Pie Week! A few tips here and there…
I’m planning an easy week-end – cinema! Spoilt with both the new Tim Burton and Banksy’s first film, Exit through the gift shop. Which by the way plays @ Barbican, in case you feel like a whole day there. Oh, and maybe I’ll go and try those Asian sweets too…
Wonderland @ Selfridge’s
Selfridge’s surfs on the new Tim Burton’s marketing wave and redesigns its wonder room.. or its wonder boutique, really.
Not very big, but a cute range of Alice themed items (if you cannot go to London, try the online Alice shop) as well as a yummy mad hatter tea party range of jewellry. You’ll find anything there from T shirts to crochetted cakes… Swarovsky also launched a new range of charme like jewels for the release.
My favourite items remain these crazy glass covers – really what I would expect in Wonderland:
Gaze at the extraordinary hats created by Colleen Atwood – you already know her work through Sleepy Hollow, Edward Scissorhands, Chicago…:
Will you resist Tom Binn’s necklaces?
Don’t forget the exterior window shops - Johnny Depp’s Mad Hatter’s costume and crazy tables…
Alice fan? Why not plan a day @ Antony in Cornwall? The gardens were used for Tim Burton’s movie!
