Anglomania before the cinema: Westwood and McQueen books

After dinner yesterday, we went straight to Trinoma to get our tickets for ‘Kimmy Dora and the Temple of Kiyeme‘ starring Eugene Domingo. Good thing for Sureseats because there were a lot of people queuing. And as we already have reserved ours, it just took us about three minutes to get them.

So we then spent the next 45 minutes browsing books in PowerBooks.

I picked up this London street photography book and I fell in love with this snap of Liberty’s display window in 2010 as a tribute for Alexander McQueen. I’m quite infatuated with the Union Jack since Geri Halliwell wore that infamous outfit in the 1997 Brit Awards. Yes, I loved the Spice Girls. 🙂

And Mon also got this big book entitled ‘Vivienne Westwood: Shoes‘, which was full of interesting footwear from the designer. Of course, this book won’t be complete without Naomi Campbell’s infamous stumble due to the mock-croc super elevated Gillies from Anglomania A/W 1993.

We then watched the movie and it was good but I can’t help but comment on some points. More on that on a separate post, as I have lots of thoughts and feelings about it. Not all that serious, though.

A quick bite before heading home because the movie was a bit long. It ran for almost two hours and even if I tried to deny it, I was hungry. I was debating before leaving the house whether I should let these sandals get a glimpse of the outside world or just wear flip flops because there was a high probability of raining.

And it did. And I also left my umbrella at home. Never again. 🙂
