Hermes Scarf as Top. And other Stuff.


 Today after a soothing early morning walk with Zsa Zsa and the mini Hungarian, I fashioned this Hermes scarf into a top and hotfooted it with my entourage (aged 11 to 80) to the French film Haute Cuisine. The food scenes are glorious GLORIOUS People! And the actress who plays Hortense is beautiful. Ignore the French actors who are attempting to pass themselves off as an Australian film crew. Because they clearly aren't Australian. As evidenced by their accents. 
 Wore these Louboutins, sourced on the cheap from Jean Brown last year
And carried this bag. It's French. I can't remember the brand but I bought it from Jean Brown in May 2011. I remember this because the Baby was 6 weeks old at the time and slept like well, a baby, during the fashion parade.
 The movie has the most gorgeous food and cooking scenes (created by 2 professional chefs and a food stylist). After all of that Glory, champagne was in order. As was a robust carb filled Sunday Lunch.
Loved my Aunt's new necklace
 Don't bother looking for quince at any of the supermarkets near me. I have bought them out.
 Vegetarians Look Away!
Because last night Old Mr FF actioned lamb shanks. Which my late Grandmother could not believe had become fashionable. She associated them with being unable to afford fillet steak.
 Mash was obligatory
 As were brussel sprouts. They divide the masses and polarise like all get out, but we're Fans.
 The mini Hungarian Dresses Up for a morning walk and says Yes to tulle. Look:
 Luff all your packing tips- keep them coming.
Meanwhile, now that Downton's over, God only knows what I'm 'sposed to do with my Sunday nights.
Any ideas? Are some Real Housewives on?
Happy Sunday Night. 
Where ever You Are.

Miscellania.

Yesterday I wore Old School Chloe frock and my new Jean Brown necklace to the Coalface. Here's a Visual:
Met M and her daughter for lunch at the Fat Noodle. M looked fantastic in Lily Pulitzer. Their house Hanworth was burnt by an arsonist. They've started a blog about their Hanworth Journey, which we all hope will rise again like a Phoenix from the Ashes. Read about it here
Loved B's Kate Spade bag
slapped some My Chihuahua Bites on my paws. Those OPI polish names never fail to amuse.
My new suitcase is American Tourist from David Jones (there's a sale). Less than 3 kilos!!! Am the worst packer ever in the history of packing. Any advice? I never know what to take, I over pack, the whole thing sends me into a panic. Predicting the weather not being one of my talents and all.
So many Red Letter Days coming up- I'm getting prepared in advance
This morning I've gone for a walk, actioned the washing, changed the sheets, done the groceries and made a raspberry and chocolate tart. If I can bother maybe I'll vacuum.
and in the spirit of never ever under catering, I've whipped up a baked cheesecake too.
dying to get back to your crochet project? Hop in line. So soothing on a lazy Saturday afternoon.
Don't panic. I've ironed all this lot. Just have to put it away.
I'm catching up with my Aunt tomorrow. Love this photo of her in her early 20s.
I'm watching Martha/Maxine on Silk. Isn't she Fabulous?
Feel free to give me packing advice.
God only knows I need it.
