The Exquisite: Smythson Bijou Organiser Review

As much as I love the fashion houses, it's always exciting for me to pick from artesan companies, old family boutiques usually that have been going on for years and that specialise on one particular thing. Consumerism has changed dramatically in the last decade, and fashion houses now provide a range of functional "fashion" items, but it still feels more personal when you find products outside of the elite spectrum of "designer".

Ladies and gents, it is finally up! Apologies for the delay; I've filled up the website with pictures and details so you can get a good idea of what this clothing is, and it has literally taken me weeks. I realise many people will not be familiar with these clothes, and however "good" it looks, you want to know what you're getting before you buy it. I am modelling everything.

God, how fabulous is she?

(Newsletter from the London Academy of Burlesque, that I had the pleasure to attend and that has truly shaped me forever)

I picked up some flowers

They had been overlooked all season and needed a good home.

And then, because it is always best to invest in property and encouraged by my main partner in crime who found it absolutely necessary, I got a CASTLE!!!



One can always tell when she's found a good pied a terre. And check out who's in the tower! ME! how cute is that!

They're both collectors items from Lulu Guinness. A girl needs little else than flowers and a castle.

Unless of course she doesn't own a fan. And I didn't, which was tragic really.




Fan from El Havanico. It comes with instructions and they are so exquisite. (I came across the language of fans for the first time in my friend Sandra's blog and I found it so charming).

The following must be an error but it is very funny:

Calligraphy

When forming them, never forget Edward Johnston's admonition that all flourishes should "crack like a whip" -- they should never be tentative or noodle-like. You have to have courage and purpose when flourishing.

Tha's so interesting. I'm hooked. I'm learning Calligraphy

Although most Renaissance Writing Masters prescribe the n body height for all minuscule letterform ascenders and descenders, an examination of renaissance copy books and exemplars shows many different lengths being used with variability in different documents by the same scribe. In general, they should not be too much longer than the letter body height. Of course, majuscule letters are swashed and flourished to the writer's fancy.
