This post is the second of three in my Victoria magazine series.
As promised (though delivered a little late), here is my wish list inspired by Victoria magazine. Vintage bicycles, feminine hats, and luxurious toiletries were mainstays of Victoria. You could always find classic luggage and fashion too. The magazine also hosted artists- and authors-in-residence. I’ve included two books from my favorites (Madeleine L’Engle and Maryjo Koch). Jaunty umbrellas, bright bistro chairs, and dress forms are also typical Victoria. I think Penhaligon’s Bluebell Soap is the most beautiful soap in the world. Have any of you tried it? And who doesn’t love Tiffany’s heart locket paired with their beaded chain? Happy shopping!

Clockwise from top left: Linus bicycles, The Nest: An Artist’s Sketchbook, The Ordering of Love: The New and Collected Poems of Madeleine L’Engle, Peter Beaton hats, The Conran Shop bistro metal folding chairs, Hunter original rain boots, Urban Outfitters linen dress forms, SteamLine luggage, Penhaligon’s Bluebell Soap, Pare umbrellas, Tiffany Hearts Locket and beaded chain.

those green rainboots almost make me want the rain to come again…this just as the sun comes out after a week of rain!

Leah – I know! I’m a little late with the rain gear, but maybe it will go on sale for next year?

That luggage reminds me of Harry Potter!

Love that dress form from Urban…I just found a similar one on Ebay for 1/3 the cost! Couldn’t be more excited.
Great finds.

My favorite Victoria item was a story they did about 3 years ago about paisley!
They had beautiful paisley throws in pastel colors that were FABULOUS! I love paisley and the pastels were so fresh. If I remember correctly, it was part of their woman owned business series. I misplaced this mag :-( and have been looking for it since. I sent Victoria email asking for info about this entrepreneur but they never responded.

Kitty – Sorry to hear you misplaced that Victoria paisley article. I wish I could help. That article doesn’t ring a bell.
