I know it's been a while since my last post, but I haven't been abducted by aliens or opted for a 'couch potato' lifestyle. I have actually been signing myself up for a few 'crafty' classes such as a beginners knitting class (which I shall blog about once I've finished my first masterpiece) and a beginners sewing class which is the focus of my blog post today.

I'm sure I don't need to explain the nature of my post today as millions of people worldwide have been eagerly anticipating this day since the announcement of their proposal in November 2010. And it was definitely worth the wait.

Gone are the days when we thought nothing of repeatedly using plastic bags to cart home our shop bought goods. In recent years awareness regarding an environmentally beneficial lifestyle has been raised worldwide. According to nonprofit organisation We Are What We Do, only one in every 200 bags is recycled and plastics can take up to 400 years to break down in a landfill.

As I sit here writing my blog for the week, the coverage of 'Remembrance Sunday at The Cenotaph' plays live on the television.
Remembrance Sunday is a day that the UK remembers the victims of The First and The Second World War. A service takes place on the 11th of November in Whitehall at The Cenotaph.

Whilst shopping in Central London last week I passed a Paul French bakery and spotted a tier of macaroons in the window. I couldn't resist and after some thought I decided on a large pistachio macaroon.
Tucked away in a signature paper bag lay my tasty treat. I saved it until I got home only to discover that an oily stain had transferred on to the bag which rang alarm bells to me. Eagerly, I Mlle.

Dear World,
Apologies for the lack of blog posts recently. I have been terribly busy with matters of much importance (such as shopping .. just kidding) and before I knew it, a month has flown by.
Anyway, moving on. I stumbled across a preview of the forthcoming issue of high fashion publication AnOther Magazine after browsing through a number of fashion blogs. I couldnt believe my eyes!

Last December, my Grande Soeur and her partner Hans paid a visit to the city that never sleeps, New York. The reason for their trip? Hans was attending the NY launch of his book Utopia or Auschwitz (well done bro). Nevertheless, knowing the Big Apple very well they were intent on discovering pastures new and decided on a snowy jaunt to the Catskill Mountains.
