Do wet want some new challenges in August?
How about wearing one non-black neutral per week (whatever is a neutral for you)

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Tailors are artists IMO.
The male models literally transformed. They came in sultry, nervous teens and went out confident, proud young men.
The shoot, campaign and article was quite an involved process but I'm glad it came together. .
The article is so interesting and not hard on the eyes either.
Bravo

Honestly, that’s what got me, how incredible the models looked and how well they suited (!) the story; the visuals were gorgeous.
I was always academic, but I always wanted to be a ballerina.
I started learning about diamonds before my teens, and sold all of my jewellery at the age of 16 to buy a yellow diamond, the following year, upgraded it to one of the earliest Argyle pink diamonds.
My parents wouldn’t let me attend full time ballet school as they wanted to have a proper education , and I had places at Cambridge and Surrey University, but by then won a Scholarship to Northern Ballet School, which they understood -I spent the weekends in Manchester University reference library learning about diamonds.
When I stopped dancing I qualified as a Chartered Management Accountant with little effort.
I walked in David Morris with no experience but a lot of knowledge , showed him my jewellery and told him everything I knew about diamonds and was offered a job on the spot.
He paid for me to study for the FGA at Goldsmiths at London University, and I stayed working in High Jewellery , specialising in Fancy Colours..
(I don’t work anymore)
My passions haven’t changed since childhood ….
You have all the requirements: so many talents, intellect, thoughtfulness and dedication! I'm sure you will find the perfect path to follow in the future. 🍀
I'm so glad you had this little happy break and am sure it was worth the hangover
Sending positive energy xx

... 50ies bags. The small clutch was my mother's. She let me borrow it when I graduated from school. It was the perfect addition to my me-made lbd and the white 50ies shoes a classmate had gifted to me.

I am a bit behind and will have to catch up later but was curious what my Name would be Today.
It's autogenerated I think, so actually, you could be one on one thread and another somewhere else.
I bet your bedding smells wonderful. We have a clothesline in the yard. I like to dry the bed sheets on it. If I put them in the dryer, they tie up in balls and don't dry well. Even though we live in a place where it doesn't rain a lot, it still is a challenge certain times of the year to find a time when I can hang laundry outside. There have been times when I've hung out the rest of the laundry. Towels and cotton knits come out stiff and rough. We get spoiled by using the dryer. Sometimes I'll put line dried laundry in the dryer for a few minutes to soften it up.Thank you
I don't have a dryer! I dry on a clothes horse outside, my bedding and cottons dry in the lavender garden. My house is from the Edwardian era but my parents didn't have a dryer either (a younger house) it's not so usual in Europe. In Scotland it's better to have a dryer that's for sure.
I have a freezer (DH grew lots of fruit and veg) but no fridge (the cat has his own fridge). I have vegetable and fruit shelves and I have a larder for cheese etc. I use leftovers in cooking, I have a composter, I have almost 0 food waste.
I can't even imagine living without a refrigerator. It's funny your cat has one! We don't like grocery shopping so do it as infrequently as possible. We usually buy at least a week's worth of groceries at a time.
That's wonderful you have zero food waste. I wish we could say the same. We do better than most of our neighbors on how much we throw away every week, judging by how full the trash cans are.
