June 2013 Instagramy-y Part 2

Years ago there was outrage and demonstrations when the 

Notting Hill Post office closed down.  Yes, the UK has gone through such hard times that it had to close down a basic utility in what is probably one of the "wealthiest areas" in England. 

They still haven't found a proper use of it but lately it is being used as an art gallery.

At least it's free.  ( To look at.)

The Law Society seems to be upping its game. 

You're tired and cranky and you are going home to..?

It's illegal to drink alcohol in the tube now so there was some illegal activity and I was at the scene of the crime.

So glamorous no? 

This is what Kronenbourg beer doesn't want you to see.

My Latest Hermes Scarves from SS 2013 Part 2

I normally try and get one Hermes scarf every collection so two a year.  As with most fashion, there are seasons where I don't particularly like anything and some collections just make me feel greedy.  The SS 2013 Hermes scarf collection was one of those.

I would have liked Pique Fleuri de Provence in this colorway.

or even this color...

Hermes scarves usually sell their scarves for up to three seasons if they aren't subject to a specific rabid trend like the C'est la fete scarf and the Coup de Fouet in certain colors.  But once it's sold out, 
it is gone and while they may reprint the design itself they will never repeat color combinations in any style. 

My latest batch of Hermes Scarves from AW 2012 and SS 2013 Part 1

Before I start, I just wanted to remind you that next Monday is the end of Google Reader.  I only just discovered it but I already have got quite attached to it in the short time.  I have noticed that there are quite a few new ways to follow your blogs.

I won't bore you but these are the following choices you may be wanting to change to and if you wish to continue following 
Coulda Shoulda Woulda.

Bloglovin' or via Facebook

But there are other channels like
Feedly, The Old Reader, Newsfire, and even on Flipboard.
I don't know how this will affect blog rolls but I am sure it will be fine. We have all lived to tell the tale of the Millenium bug right?

One of the things I collect is Hermes scarves.

It's a bonus that I can wear them.

As I am in a slump of mojo attire, I depend more on ever on my scarves to jazz up and polish off a simple shirt and trouser.

When I purchase my scarves, I have my own methodology as 
I wrote about here.  



I also look at it from a perspective of potentially framing as art for the wall or even a cushion cover!

We need to talk about Gwyneth and jealousy while we are at it.

I thought I'd write about this after the media hype died down a bit because things can get flared in the heat of the moment. 

Gwyneth was recently voted 10 most hated celebrities in a poll by Star Magazine and even topped Chris Brown to #1!

 Very soon after she was voted by People Magazine as  the Most Beautiful Woman in the world.

Personally I thought both titles were quite over the top but depending on your personal opinion of her one or both of them could be true!

But I didn't understand the outrage from the numerous bloggers that wrote in her defense from being voted most hated.

The lighter, superficial prism of celebrity/fashion life liberally and creatively uses words.  It is -est, -issimo, and as Rachel Zoe says beyond.  But we don't quibble with her saying that beyond is actually a preposition and not an adjective therefore not appropriate 
to describe a jacket and only just qualifies to describe
 the fourth dimension.

Elle Decor June 2013 Issue

So here is something for the weekend for you to browse through.

This month's issue is slick.

It has great architectural features, styling and superb photography.

I adore this room in every way but I do wonder if there is a misfit in the household because there is a chair on the right facing the wall.

I want to try and recreate this bedroom if 

I get a bedroom layout like this. I adore the draped walls and 

that specific treatment on the drapes.
