"Life Socks"

For as long as I can remember I have always worn very safe socks. I have seen numerous colourful socks stare at me from the hem of trousers and jeans. Laughing at my monochrome, safe and boring choices. Admittedly as a rule of thumb your socks should either match the colour of your trousers or be a close match to lengthen your leg. It’s an optical illusion really.

I always envy people who can wear whichever socks they like. It occurred to me when hanging mine and my partners laundry out to dry the other day. I always try my hardest to hang them in their pairs however when you wear all black socks it becomes slightly impossible. So I just hung them out to dry then I noticed it. Like a “sock-mometer” going from boring to outlandish and crazy. 
 

 My partners socks are forever colourful and fun and he seems to be able to have a young heart and attitude with it. Whereas mine are classic and sensible and I always seem to be working far too much. Is the way your life pans out, decided by your choice of socks? Obviously not but I do find it incredibly hard to even branch out to a bit of colour. Even my underwear, always black and white. I have to admit if I were to get more coloured socks, I would have much less difficulty when coming to hang the laundry.

I seem unable to wear odd socks and can usually tell when they don’t match. Bizarre I know. I also always find that when my socks are pulled up I get a real sense of satisfaction. It must come from my boarding school days where knee length grey socks, pulled straight, teamed with a garter were compulsory. God damn you. I still can’t find the rebel in me. Maybe I should give it a try for a week and see how I feel.

“Don’t let your socks define you!”

"Jonathan Murdoch-Smith"

It’s not every day you get to meet a gentleman. It’s not everyday that you get to work with one. A day at the office ended in the team going to feast on the delicious flavours of Wagamama. It is strange how every day you see someone, yet fail to give their outfit recognition, until they are on the step above you waiting to be seated.

We lined up the stairs in a typical English manner, whilst our mouths watered with the smell coming from the Wagamama restaurant at Harvey Nichols. I was admiring Jonathan’s ensemble and decided that it needed to be featured on ensem-BLAH.

Ladies and to the few Gentlemen out there I give you Mister Jonathan Murdoch-Smith…


A simple two button royal blue Zara jacket with narrow lapels works well on someone with Jonathan’s build. Need I remind you Gents that you never wear both buttons fastened, only one.

A crisp white shirt, Lyle and Scott, is the perfect back drop for a tartan like bow tie to sit against. The colours are exaggerated by the white and the royal blue of the jacket, bringing out the best in the bow tie.

Now this is where Jonathan gets it right. His attention to detail, and being a Buyer’s Clerk in Harrods, is key.

Notice his pocket square. Another white background gives the delicate burgundy and pink roses a chance to grow out of his pocket. Although the bow tie and the pocket square are not the same it reminded me of a quote that Sir Edwin Hardy Amies said…

“A man should look as if he has bought his clothes with intelligence, put them on with care and then forgotten all about them.”

Mister Jonathan Murdoch-Smith I salute you.

Thank you.

"Hungover ensem-BLAH"

Whilst sipping from my new hand made flute filled to the brim with Prosecco it came to my mind that I had an idea about a post called, "Hung over Outfit".

 

Having been out with my friend the other night in London after having a lovely evening amongst her family and friends we partied in Soho till the early hours of three oh my gawd a clock, to wish her well on her new venture to Dubai. A possible job in Dior or Gucci...good luck my dear.

 

We awoke the next morning to breakfast and fresh coffee. Slightly dehydrated and hung over it came to me. Having seen what she wore it occurred to me, is there a possibility that subconsciously we choose an ensemble to see us through the day of a stinking hang over? Do we have particular outfit comfortable enough to face the world when we feel like death?

 

This is Miss Sophia Dubois’ choice…

 

 

 

A pair of jeans teamed with an oversized skull print Topshop jumper, a pair of Gucci sunglasses and red lippy, preferably Tom Ford, “Cherry Rush”, she was ready to face her hectic day of Bridesmaid dresses, packing for Dubai, dropping me off at the station and walking her adorable dogs Heidi and Bella all in a pair of Converse trainers.

 

The next time you are hung over and finding the world a place that is not forgiving on self inflected stupidity, choose wisely. A pair of sunnies to hide the glare and the fear of been recognised by strangers who cheered you onto the bar top, a comfortable top to hide the food baby after a late brunch and although you feel like death warmed up some lippy to make sure those air kisses are pretty!

"Charles Lu"

Having finished work and a mad dash to get some last minute Christmas shopping done and some Tom Ford "Cherry Rush" lipstick for a dear friend I came upon Charles Lu.

The second I saw him I dived through the line of shoppers, dawdling whilst in awe of the stunning Harrods beauty halls, and told him I had to feature his ensem-BLAH on my blog.

He was so willing and instantly struck up his best pose. Ladies and Gents I give you Charles Lu...

 

Dressing in black and white but with enough accents and features to not blend into dark London. A jacket teamed with the most exquisite fur lapel, designed and tailor made by a company in Canada. Sitting under his jacket, proud, below the collar of his crisp white Alexander Boyd shirt was the best part of his look. A vintage brooch. A neatly sewn bow made of mat ribbon with a decadent black stone and golden rocco frame.

 

I was so excited to post his ensem-BLAH. His accessories I would describe as "fashion forward" as I truly believe that the clutch will soon be the mans next big thing. Prada of course and I believe every man should invest in a bit of "clutch" action. Keeping his hands warm in the winter weather here in London were a pair of finger gloves just cusping a part of his hand found in Italy.

I learnt that Charles Lu is a fashion designer. Daphne Guiness get in contact with this man he could be of help to your ever inspiring looks pulled from your fantastic wardrobe.

 

http://bycharleslu.blogspot.com

His look is glamour galore via the dark city streets of decadence. London is very much black and white and everyone seems to be able to pull it off. The key to standing out from the crowd is simple if you think outside the monchrome box. Think vintage brooch or even an exageratted fur lapel.

 

Charles Lu, thank you for being so fabulous.

"Gloves Galore"

Tonight I opened my net book and was astounded by how much dust it had collected over the past few days. Either I need to do some housework or my life is cramped to the brim with stuff to do.

Its been a while since my last blog post and I have to say I started getting withdrawal symptoms. I started stressing to my friends about the on going situation and making up lame excuses as to why I haven’t posted anything. I have a plan…

Working in London and living in Kent, well that’s a whole hour to kill on the train! So finally the net book my partner bought me for the purpose of writing will finally come to use.

Right where to begin…

So a couple of weeks ago I became more aware that I hadn’t seen a glove left by its owner, whilst the other sits in their right pocket comfortably embracing their ensem-BLAH until it realises it’s fate is sealed too. So I started looking harder for gloves and really taking my walks to and fro my destinations with an open eye so I could start finding gloves to post, blah, blah, blah…

Weeks have passed by and then out of no where a day sprung upon me where on the way back from work I found a glove, my first leather (possibly faux leather, don’t want to touch them)glove. This was found on Eccleston Street on my way to Victoria. In a hurry to catch my train my commitment, well “commitment”, for my blog I snapped a quick picture.

 

I boarded my train in a hurry and there was a couple of seats left and as I turned to place my bag down, low and behold there was a pair on the chair. Afraid if I would be sitting in someone’s place I asked the gentleman across the aisle if anyone was sitting there. He looked at me as if I were mad. Excuse me sir but there were a pair of gloves on the chair. Not wanting to look like that mad man he already took me for I discreetly took a picture.

 

To my surprise they were not a pair but two different gloves. How lovely that although they weren’t from the same cloth they had each other…Oh my god I am actually mad.

So I travelled with them the whole way home to Kent and left them on the right hand side of me where I found them. I walked up the hill from the station and crossed the road and sure enough there was a second pair. This time burgundy and on Sandling Road. Oh boy a total of five gloves after days of not seeing any. I started to feel confident that if all else fails with my other blog posts at least I would have the gloves. So I took a quick picture…

 

After telling my friends about my dire straits of not finding any gloves for days, my phone went the next morning. A lovely lady I know, Miss Alicia Hill aka “Agent Grammatica” sent me the below…

 

She cheekily snapped this glove and felt strange in case people saw her. It really does put a smile on your face as you think you are losing the plot taking a picture of a glove. This scenario began to inspire me and Miss Hill I thank you for the inspiration. Keep reading and I’ll tell you soon.

So a couple of days past and the weekend arrived with my partner and I frantically trying to find time to see each other but been the social butterflies that we are it was off to Tenterden to stay the night with our friends and join in the festivities at my partners Christmas Work Party.

Tenterden is a beautiful town and if you ever get to go, enjoy a walk first thing in the morning, with a coffee and a dear friend walking besides you. Off on our walk we went. Off to the post office first for my friend to post her many a talents to her ever growing customer base and then for a spot of window shopping along the many gorgeous boutique shops. As we walked to the back of the post office, look what we found…

A Tenterden glove! I couldn’t believe how many gloves I was finding and in such a short space of time. That afternoon we had a Christmas Luncheon at my partners Uncle’s beach house in Greatstone.

What a day it was and a good effort from all. Before we left for home a stroll on the beach was mentioned and dying to get out of a warm house and into the fresh sea air, we piled into our coats and hats, headed out, over the dunes and down to the sea. It was beautiful. In the distance I could see a stick fence and along each stick was a splash of colour at the top. At first I thought to myself how great it would be if the whole fence was gloves and someone had been collecting them over a period of time. Don’t be silly I thought…

I noticed that my partners favourite cousin was strolling with her daughter near the fence and thought why not make the journey across the heavy sand and go and see what they were looking at. As I drew closer and my eyes adjusted I let out a gasp…

To my amazement look what I found…

 

 

 

Gloves were the splashes of colour and they did sit on the stick fence. They may well still be there or are they there for a reason? I was so happy it made my night. God I am so easily entertained. So the weekend came and went and I started the week off on Monday finding this one…

 

Possibly the saddest looking glove ever, drenched in water and cold.

So earlier I spoke about how I was inspired by Miss Alicia Hill aka “Agent Gramatica“. I thought to myself that winter would pass and the layers we wear would become lighter. The gloves would be stuffed away, waiting their fates of been left on the street by there owners.

So why not spread the love to everyone. My friend sent me a picture of the glove so if you would like to I have set up an email address where people around the world can share the gloves they find and take pictures of.

Email: ensemblahgloves@gmail.com

Just send the picture of the glove you found.

Your lovely name.

Where you found it, country, city, town or street?

If you like, a little about yourself or it’s ensem-BLAH.

Thank you.

"Charlotte Gatton Sturgeon"

Whilst at work, again, on a Satruday night I have been finding the ensem-BLAH's that have been coming out of the street closet brilliant. Sat at a table for two I had to disturb and get to know this lady.

 

 

Dressed head to toe in a 1950's inspired ensemble she was Rock n Rolling this to the "T". Her halter neck top and light grey mid calf length pencil skirt was a perfect ensemble for a lady. You have to be careful wearing halter necks as you have to have the right shoulders. The shoulder straps can sometimes make your shoulders look bigger than they actually are but as demonstrated above by Charlotte and as mentioned before she works this brilliantly. Although you cannot see the full length of the look her skirt was mid calf which again can chop you up making you look shorter. However this is where the shoes would come in. She teamed the look with a solid black wedge with a rounded toe cap. This lengthens the leg but height also helps. Charlotte at this rate you have it all.

 

 The brilliant thing about a 1950's inspired look is that it shows off the body in all the right places. Her waist is exaggerated by the cuts but also the contrast in colour. The neckline really shows off the top half really well and balances the body. Her whole outfit was bought from Vivien of Holloway. Follow the below link to visit the site:

 

http://www.vivienofholloway.com/

 

Charlotte completed her look with a necklace that was two black hearts and across them two white scrolls with "Rock n Roll" written in black. She wore small dice earrings, now this is what I love, when there are small examples of attention to detail. Accessories were bought from Bette Noire.

 

Charlotte currently works in admin for a painting and decorating company and loves to shop for vintage clothes in her spare time. She also likes tattoos and has a total of five. The ones across her decolletage were from Jokers Tattoos in Sidcup.

 

I was browsing through Vivien of Holloway and came across the below wrap dress which would be perfect for a wedding or ball. The midnight navy, with a string of antique pearls and a pair of nude Christian Louboutins would be a complete show stopper.

"Filo Patent."

I once stamped my foot whilst shopping with a friend a blurted out, "I want to be a girl."

 

Sigh.

"The Museum of Curiosity"

Whilst shopping in London and walking the backstreets and alleys of Soho to avoid the disturbing masses, my partner and I came across "The Museum of Curiosity"

The second I saw the front window exhibit I had to go in. Not sure if I was welcome or allowed due to the dimly lit front gallery I couldn't resist and walked in. They were open. The welcome was warm and friendly thanks to a lovely lady I will soon talk about named Holly.

The space is lit to enhance the exhibits scattered around the rooms. There is death around you, there was a distinct smell which I later learnt was Agent Provocateur worn by a browsing member of the disturbing masses and there is inspiration, tonnes of it. The walls bleed with it and the corners embrace it. Eager to start snapping away and loading my pics onto Instagram you learn that you can. I would recommend not to use a flash as you just destroy any form of haunting lighting and ambiance.

When you go and I recommend you do be aware to be disturbed and moved. There are exhibits that make you want to see what goes on in the minds of the artists. For me and I quote "a Petri dish of inspiration." There are some pieces that pulled certain strings but that's what good art does.

Below are just some of the exhibits and I beg you not to just look at mine but go and see for yourself. The pieces deserve to be viewed and your mind deserves the food for thought. To find emotion in hidden places and to be stirred by someone else's work is worth the trip to the Museum of Curiosity.

Enjoy...

 

 

"Artefact Triptych"

 

 

 

"And Another Thing"

 

 

"Spring Cleaning"

 

 

"Still Smiling" 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

"Holly Foskett-Barnes"

 

Earlier I mentioned the warm welcome that was presented to us when entering "The Museum of Curiosity". This lovely lady is Holly Foskett-Barnes. She sat in a red arm chair low to the dark floor boards typing away. The minute I noticed her ensem-BLAH I knew it would tie in nicely with this post. She was the perfect girl that someone would class as an English rose.

 

Her dress was from the Blue Cross charity shop and her necklace was from India. Her ensem-BLAH really suited her environment. The art was resourceful and so is she for finding her gorgeous dress in the array of charity shops our high street has to offer. The dark red really suited her complexion and her hair colour. Sometimes letting the colour do the talking makes you stand out. The necklace is a good choice sitting under the collar discreetly offering just a touch of glamour.  

 

She is currently interning at "The Museum of Curiosity" and is an artist in her spare time. Holly if you ever do an exhibition I would love to see it.

 

To The Museum of Curiosity thank you for inspiring and to the artists keep puling our emotions.

"Timeless Style"

Have you ever walked into a room and seen someone then said to yourself,"I have to meet that person." Well I have and it happened to me the other night.

 

Amongst the tables I walked, and sat in the secluded room behind the sumptuous red curtains was Mrs Sandy Hobbs. At a quick glance I thought her to be Joan Collins. I couldn't get over how much presence this lady had. She owned her table and had a certain je ne sais qua about her.

 

Ladies, this is the type of woman you learn from. This is the type of woman that you see on the street and think, "WOW" when I get to her age I want to look like her. I want to ooze her confidence and have her classic style. This is the type of woman whose style is timeless.

 

I give to you... Sandy Hobbs...

 

 

Dressed in a brilliant figure hugging, knee length black dress by "Damsel in a Dress" paired with an L.K. Bennett necklace made of a cluster of silver spheres with matching earrings and shoes by Stuart Wiseman for Russell & Bromley, Sandy was ready to dance the night away to the live music and a dance partner 6ft or more, dressed in glam rags to the max and cheap makeup!

 

http://www.damselinadress.co.uk/shop/dresses.aspx

 

 

Sandy did dance the night away and the more she danced the more you got the idea that this woman was both a lover of life and a giver of one. She filled you with joy at how much fun she had. You were over whelmed with how comfortable she was in her brilliant skin. She is all woman and a whole lot of class.

 

When I ask someone if I can post about them on my blog, I ask them a little about themselves. To my delight Sandy and her partner, Peter Hobbs run a delicious and quaint luxurious bed and breakfast in the lovely historical town of Worth near Deal close to Sandwich called "Solley Farm House". I am pleased to say that just as I had this encounter with such a brilliant human being, you can too.

 

 

Having looked it up the luxurious Bed and Breakfast looks like a perfect get away for two in the romantic country style rooms. A five star rating and a winning breakfast will get you to enjoy a spot of golf or antiquing through out the day.

 

Follow the below link and have a look see:

Mrs Hobbs, Sandy you made my night. The crowd out there was tough but you got me through. Thank you for the dance we shared and for your timeless style. It's people like you that educate our world on keeping the elegance of days gone by alive.

 

Thank you

"Caroline Charlotte Alice Burgess"

Caroline Charlotte Alice Burgess is by far my favourite post since ensem-BLAH started. I don't know if it was the wedding venue, the fact her dress tied into the romance in the air or if it was just her friendly, welcoming personality that I  came to like the more I spoke to her. The venue was Buxted Park Hotel, the wedding was under the name Richmond. To understand how her dress tied in so well follow the below link and see.

http://www.handpickedhotels.co.uk/hotels/buxted-park/

 

The dress...

 

Her ensem-BLAH was totally the right choice for her figure. It dropped elegantly down, and the tongues of fabric, joined at the empire line, floated gracefully as she walked the halls of the Buxted Park Hotel. The tongues that fell from the shoulders offered more romance in the way the fabric of the dress moved. Where's the dress from? Monsoon. Monsoon Originals is an exclusive, limited edition collection of distinctive and memorable dresses, jackets and more to create a truly extraordinary look. It's in their mission statement..."to create a truly extraordinary look." Her hair was loosely and organically pinned into an up do which complimented her natural looking make up. Ladies a rule we all should follow; buy into timeless outfits. 

A little about Caroline Charlotte Alice Burgess. First of all a great name. The lady works in PR and is currently introducing new brands of makeup into the world of beauty. She works for "PMW Communications Limited" as the PR Manager. We sat down for dinner and then to my surprise the lady who was so cool, calm and collected actually did the make up for the Bridal Party. A job well done too. I have been to so many weddings where the Bride's make up is so heavy however this time it was uber natural and clean.

 

She wanted me to mention one thing...

Jake Shears is her idol, and although she blushed at the idea, she really is the Scissor Sisters number one fan!

 

Caroline, thank you for the dress, the inspiration and thanks to "Aggy Baggy" (Bride's pet name from her Dad) for placing Caroline at our table on purpose.

Moonchild"

"Why don't you do what you dream, Bastian?"

The question is..."Why don't you wear what you want to wear?"

A mad dash to get to the restaurant restrooms, after an hour of sitting on a boring train back from London, I ran into a friend of mine, "Star Monroe."

Sat at her table a bunch of glamorous ladies however one stood out. A Thursday night and she had turned up in all her finery. A fur coat and her "Shingar Patti."

I give you Natalie Duck...

 

This is what we need in our life especially when the weekend hasn't even arrived. Why save your gorgeous stuff for that special occasion? Why wait whilst it gathers dust or the memory fades since you last wore it? Enjoy your ensem-BLAH to the max people.

 

There are a lot of people out there that will think that pieces like this could only be worn once or twice. Why wear something that's meant for a traditional wedding?? Well I have news for you...make it your thing! Be seen wearing pieces like this.

 

Natalie it looked stunning and you have inspired me! I would love to rock this, however I don't think my quiff would agree however if I ever had the opportunity I totally would. Why not?!?

 

Natalie is not only a spark of inspiration on a Thursday night but she runs her own company of sparks. She is the owner of Luma Electrical and specialises in everything from shop fits to lighting. She also specialise in looking fabulous on a week night.

 

http://lumaelectrical.co.uk/

 

So you ask yourself, where could I get something like this? Well look no further than Kyle's Collection. Specialising in the fashion freedom of beautiful, bespoke jewellery, stylised in colour and look to perfectly match any occasion and ensem-BLAH you can feel inspired by just going onto the website.

 

http://www.kylescollection.com/

 

If I was to choose my favourite piece I would be here forever, however I have been inspired for a future ensem-BLAH and would love to venture into this. Can I also mention that the one Natalie is wearing is actually her choice of crystals and stones arrange specifically for her. Add a bit of Fantasia to your day!

 

Natalie, thank you for the inspiration and keep it coming, especially on a Thursday night.

 

Don't be afraid to push boundaries, adventure, live outside you tent.

"ERICKSON BEAMON"

If I am completely honest I had never heard of this brand until one night, walking back to London Victoria to catch my train home, I came across this boutique that housed the most brilliant pieces in it's front window. Ladies and some Gents if you haven't heard of it before then please let me introduce you to...

 

...Erickson Beamon.

 

 

A mask, a crown or a headpiece?! Whatever you want to call it, it drew my hands to the cold glass and my mouth dropped open in total awe of the product I was seeing. So I clicked away and then the inspiration began and I started looking into this...

 

Karen & Eric Erickson and Vicki Beamon are the creators of Erickson Beamon. Established over 27 years ago they have created many a collaboration and are credited for the creation of the chandelier earring. Their product is sold in over 600 stores across 75 countries. They have collaborated with the likes of Givenchy, Galliano and Anna Sui.

 

As the late Alexander McQueen quoted:

 

"Be... Dazzled."

 

 

 

The boutique held the above two pieces in all their glory. The pieces are like armour ready for a decadent, romantic warrior prepared to go into a poetic battle armed with the power of beauty ready to defeat and rid the world of all its ugliness. The craftmanship is incredible. The detail was so intricate as if they had planned how to win this battle perfectly.

 

If I was Lisle Von Rhuman in Death Becomes Her I would have demanded to wear the above in that spectacular scene where Madeline Ashton takes the magic potion. Then as Isabella Rossellini demanded that the item discreetly disappear and land safely in my wardrobe, at home...forever!

 

To own a couple of pieces you can get them from the boutique in Belgrave just around the corner from London Victoria or skip to Harrods and load up your ensemble.

 

Follow the below link to see my wish list...

...Hint, hint.

"Studs!"

Running frantically around the premises sorting out drinks for a table that wanted discount on their Tattinger Rose...tack! A glimmer caught my eye. Sitting on the variety of thrones distributed around the bar Cheryl sat sipping what I think was a "Lion Blanc Cocktail??" In such a rush I blabbered on to her about my new blog and ran off. The poor girl must of thought I was mad.

 

The look on the table's face when I told them "No" was the answer to the discount on their Tattinger Rose was priceless but that's what you get for been such a cheap charlie.

 

Upon returning to the bar to pick up some more cocktails I convinced her to appear on here as I loved what she was wearing...

 

...STUDS!

 

 

Exaggerated shoulder pads are always such a good way to emphasise the golden studs that will turn any outfit into something with a decadent edge, touching on a whole lotta glamour. Her dress is from "Little Mistress," which is one of the many collections done by Little Woods and as I was told by our guest, has appeared many a time on TOWIE!

 

Pleasantly surprised by this and how the high street is so good at bringing the runway to our door step, I looked it up. Girl's there are some really good pieces on here. You can buy now and not pay anything for 12 months for the dress as well as have next day delivery. There is also a video for the majority of the dresses so you can see how they move. Let's all hope that we know that the way fabric moves is important. There were some really good pieces that could even be past for "half a lager" aka Herve Leger with their body contouring dresses. Prices range from £60 to £120. There is also a clever product list of accessories, shoes and lingerie that they recommend to go with each piece and will compliment your ensemble. Amazing, personal shopping in the comfort of your pyjama's, hair in a "Vicki Pollard" up do and a cuppa before you strut your glamour out the front door and onto here!

 

 

If I was to pick another dress from the collection I think I would choose the "ALL OVER SEQUINS DRESS, Catalogue number 2BXGT16" in Blue with the scoop back. Follow the below link to see it:

 

http://www.littlewoods.com/little-mistress-all-over-sequin-dress/1171388677.prd

 

However lets be individual this party season, take away the straps from the back and replace them with draping metallic chains. Really easy to do and if you are clever you can even make the chains interchangeable. Keeping it fresh!

 

Her whole ensemble work really well. Her hair colour really suited her skin tone and her make up was really well done. When talking to her I got to learn that she works for the Travel Channel and is an accountant. Not just a pretty face is she!

 

Cheryl not only are you great with figures but you sure know how to dress them.

"This one has a name..."

On the walk back to London Victoria from work I met a glove. A glove named "Poly."

 

 

"Poly Flex," is a tough glove for those who need protection from the elements, those hard surfaces and protecting those nails from getting dirty.

 

There is not much to talk about, as with "Poly Flex" what you see is what you get...

 

A hunk in trunks with a hard hat and a tool belt.

 

Found on Eccleston Street

 

London, UK, 08/11/2012

"la main gauche en rose"

"la main gauche en rose" means "the left hand in pink."

 

So on the way to work this morning I was walking and talking to my colleague. I was talking to her about my last post "Gloves." Then out of the corner of my eye look what I found.

 

 

This pink glove was sitting on the ledge left all alone with out its partner in crime. Its friend that would complete their ensem-BLAH. So I took her picture and continued on with my walk to work, thinking how I could post this later.

 

Suddenly my colleague pointed...

 

"la main droite en rose" meaning "the right hand in pink"

 

 

Her partner sat right on the fence. I have never seen the pair on the street before or is it that I am just not looking hard enough. Both their diamante, knitted bows left on the street to pick up the dirt of our world. If I were a magpie I would be having these diamante for my nest but thank god birds can't wear gloves like these.

 

Found by the German Embassy

 

Knightsbridge, London 08/11/2012
