In The Schedule

Hello Friday... today marks the 1st year anniversary of this humble blog - yep it was a year ago today when I 'ummed' and 'aahhhed' about taking the plunge into the blogosphere.  Wow, where has the time gone?  Thank you to everyone who has visited these pages, to those that keep coming back, and those that take a little time to leave lovely comments - I thank you.   I am looking forward to the coming year and all the inspiration it has to bring... it's very exciting!

Let's celebrate with this week's links...

+  A photographic retrospective of John Galliano's work during his reign at Dior 1996 - 2011 via Fashionologie - it'll take you back... way back - Linda, Naomi, Shalom, et al;

+  A lovely tasting platter of desserts (mmmm)... my heart just melts each time when I view the images over at French blog, Griottes  - yummy and good-looking;

+  A fabulous timeline of the ubiquitous striped tee- its origins to its cult status, from online store Chance who specialise in anything and everything stripey... hello sailor!;

+  Miuccia Prada tells us why she loves aprons ... She's so great;

+  A look into Silvia Venturini Fendi's Rome and workrooms via The Selby.  I love her motto too and the list of things to learn about Italian women - in fact all women.  I take it No.5 is blank because its a mystery?! 

+  And a trip to her island home via Harpers Bazaar... ooh nice;

+  Some beautiful Fieldguided black and white printed scarves found via Design Crush;

Have a glorious weekend everyone... I'll be spending my weekend with family and enjoying the sunshine - I love April, before the real autumn settles in! 

Ciao, ciao
