With yesterday being the hottest English April in recorded history, we let one of our number inspire us with her summery get up.

 

- notebook for lunchtime stroll in the park

-  perfume: "because you know, you sweat"

- second-hand (vintage) sunglasses

- top: black to absorb heat/ yellow to attract the attention of a coven of street-style bloggers 

- graduation band ring + necklace

 

In anticipation of warmer days we are preparing our next guide: how to look after your graduation ring on the beach and while flying ryanair

 

 

 

Herzog

This will definitely be the last film related post for a while, but we really all like this film. I mean we really really liked it. Ok, so the trailer turns up the hyperbole, but the film itself is pretty interesting stuff. Remarkable.

Allow me to lay the scene: basically the French have let Hogster into the Chauvet Caves so he can go gaga over some extremely old cave paintings.

 

  

 

How should I take care of my ring?

 
 

How should I take care of my ring?

While our rings will certainly stand the rigours of day-to-day wear, it is important to take your activities into consideration when wearing your ring. Moreover, repeated contact with perfumes and cosmetics can damage precious metals and stones and we would advise you to apply these before putting on your graduation ring. It would also be advisable to remove your ring when bathing, swimming, cleaning or gardening. To preserve the beauty and lustre of your ring, clean with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of brush, sharp instrument or rough cloth for cleaning. Avoid contact with any harsh acids and agents such as chlorine. 

 

 

More Questions than Answers

Susie went to see a Q and A at the BFI with Kazuo Ishiguro last week and she was immensely moved by the "great man" (her words). Having already told us all about it, she has now forwarded a link to the event so we can corroborate for ourselves her pitch-perfect taste in writers.

This is the link to the BFI stuff: BFI Q&A Ishiguro

And here is a video from Youtube which I have caught her re-watching at least twice.

Apparently the film is ok as well

Typography? We have definitely picked up too much typography chatter in our social circles recently, so there will certainly not be any mention of the Eric Gill exhibition at the British Museum here. (Nor any pics or links)
