Hey!

Welcome to The Very Simon G. My blog has been going for nearly a decade, but there ain’t getting away from me just yet! Come in for fashion, fun and everything in between. Enjoy!

Harrods Crowns and Ballgowns



Something's happening all over London, the country in fact, if you haven't noticed. Not the Olympics, no, I wouldn't waste a blog on that, it's THE JUBILEE!!! We are going MAD for everything Royal and patriotic. And Harrods are no exception.

This morning I ventured down to the Knightsbridge landmark to check out their collections of crowns and ballgowns in celebration of not only the Jubilee, but also the V&A's BallGown exhibition. As you can image, my heart was racing from the minute I received the invite to the second I saw the dresses.

If you take a walk down the Brompton Road, you'll see in the windows the crowns, which are modelled on the St. Edward's coronation crown, designed by some of the worlds top brands including: Paul Smith, De Beers, Lanvin and Tiffany & Co. Naturally I wanted to try them all on.

And have a look inside at the AMAZING collection of ballgowns. Here's a few...


*My favourite - Marchesa*


*Valentino*



*Roberto Cavalli*



*Carolina Herrera*


*J Mendel*



*Elie Saab*




*Bond No. 9's special Harrods Jubilee perfume*
*YSL's Jubilee bag anyone? Or maybe a Marcus Lupfer crown tee?*



***And then there were crowns!***



*Another window, another dress - here's a replica of the Coronation dress!*


*And my computer, with it's crown on!*
