http://embarrassmentoffrivolities.blogspot.com/2011/02/of-persephone-reading-weekend.html
An Embarrassment of Frivolities. Friday, 11 February 2011. Of Persephone Reading Weekend. Although I didn't exactly do very well with my report of the last Persephone Reading Week. Which unfortunately arrived just as I fell off the edge of the blogging world, I am extremely excited by the prospect of the forthcoming Persephone Reading Weekend. Hosted once again by Verity at CardiganGirlVerity. And Claire at Paperback Reader. Another visit, won't I? Here stay thy selfe, and read with attention'. Thanks Ve...

An Embarrassment of Frivolities: March 2010

An Embarrassment of Frivolities. Thursday, 18 March 2010. I think anyone who has cast even a casual glance over my blog will have probably realised that I Like Shoes. A Lot. You can imagine my delight, therefore, when I made a new footwear discovery this morning. Thanks to the treasure trove that is Daily Candy. I have made the acquaintance of Kitty Cooper. That she wore to the Oscars the other weekend, Livia has shown that one certainly doesn't need to forego style when salving one's conscience:. Just c...

An Embarrassment of Frivolities: Of Dressing Up In The Kitchen
http://embarrassmentoffrivolities.blogspot.com/2011/03/of-dressing-up-in-kitchen.html
An Embarrassment of Frivolities. Thursday, 3 March 2011. Of Dressing Up In The Kitchen. I'm rather behind on my target for Persephone Reading Weekend. As my very busy weekend and return to Oxford means that I've so far only managed to read the first three of Irene Nemirovsky's Dimanche and Other Stories. I'm pleased to say that I'm very much enjoying the collection so far though, so I hope to be able to bring you a review at the end of next week if I keep up with my lunchtime reading! Is worth it. Af...

An Embarrassment of Frivolities: December 2009
http://embarrassmentoffrivolities.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
An Embarrassment of Frivolities. Monday, 28 December 2009. Of All Good Wishes. It's been such a long time since I last posted! December has been a wonderful, if chaotic month, but I wanted to tie up a couple of loose ends before beginning blogging properly again in the new year. Firstly, I am ashamed that it has taken me so long to reveal my Persephone Secret Santa! I was so excited to take part in Book Psmith. Walk to the pub, It's A Wonderful Life. We met up some time ago now, and I couldn't resist ope...

An Embarrassment of Frivolities. Thursday, 24 March 2011. The warm sunshine and blue skies are so cheering, and today I slipped into this outfit. Which remains as good for seeing in the Spring this year as it was last! When I was in M&S, my eye was drawn to the shoe department (well, if they will arrange the store so I am simply *forced* to walk past the shoes to get to the tights, it would really be rude to avoid paying them proper attention, wouldn't it? Would certainly do that! I always think it's fun...

An Embarrassment of Frivolities: Of Love
http://embarrassmentoffrivolities.blogspot.com/2011/02/of-love.html
An Embarrassment of Frivolities. Monday, 14 February 2011. Sir William Cornwallis the Younger (c.1579 - 1614), 'Of Loue' from. I hope I shall not offend Diuinity if I say the coniunction of man and wife is not Loue. It is an allowance of God's and so good, and the name of it, I thinke, two honest Affections vnited into one. If this bee so, what becomes of all the rest, which are counterfaits and yet begge vnder the passe-port of Loue? Loue thy neighbour as thy selfe. Among all Affections that of Socrates.

An Embarrassment of Frivolities: September 2009
http://embarrassmentoffrivolities.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
An Embarrassment of Frivolities. Wednesday, 2 September 2009. Our flight isn't until 9.20 tonight (meaning we arrive in Rhodes at the ungodly hour of 3.20am - and then have the hour's drive to Lindos from the airport. The joy.), so I thought I would take a quick break from preparations to share my excitement over my first Etsy. She won't be re-opening for six months or a year. So I'm even more glad now that I bought these lovely labels when I did:. I couldn't choose between the two designs, so! On a wav...

An Embarrassment of Frivolities. Monday, 3 May 2010. Of Persephone Reading Week. I am very excited as today marks the beginning of Persephone Reading Week, co-hosted by Verity at The B Files. And Claire at Paperback Reader. As I mentioned a few days ago. I have three new Persephones to see me through the week, although sadly I'm not sure if my schedule will allow me to enjoy all three of them by the 9th of May. I currently have Miss Buncle's Book. And Lady Rose and Mrs Memmary. Miss Buncles book is defin...

An Embarrassment of Frivolities: Of The Unexpected
http://embarrassmentoffrivolities.blogspot.com/2011/03/of-looking-forward.html
An Embarrassment of Frivolities. Thursday, 10 March 2011. Well, life really is full of surprises, isn't it? I did not expect, this time last week, that I would now be sitting in my bed at home, dosed up to the eyeballs on penicillin and steroids, and awaiting the results of a blood test. But here I am! We'll be starting off with the Pret a Portea. Afternoon tea in the deliciously named Caramel Room at The Berkeley Hotel. Images from The Berkeley Hotel's website). Mmm Doesn't it all look divine? I saw Pet...
