Coincidentally, just a few days ago, I started Mrs Dalloway and I am slowly relishing it. I would wear a chanel dress to Clarisa's party.<br />I agree with Carina's suggestion of making this a regular item.<br />Take a bow<br />Helenxxhelen tilstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791882664528962799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-74521644994459770742011-08-25T16:49:10.100-04:002011-08-25T16:49:10.100-04:00Wow, great post!

Did I get anything right? Such beautiful ideas. At the moment I'm reading "Coming Home" from Rosamund Pilcher, so I guess I'll have to find something to wear for dinner at Nancherro.

You have a cheerleader in London!)<br /><br />I am now wondering what my clothes today read like. Hm. I should have read your post this morning. At least then I could have dressed to match my book. I would have teamed my cotton twill dungarees with a light beige cotton dress shirt and tied my hair back with a red turban. I'd wear bright red Max Factor lipstick and be dreaming of the handsome Spitfire pilot I'd be writing to this evening.<br /><br />My actual clothes sadly do not invite me to a great party, or to view beautiful homes. They don't place me in Italy either. I think today they place me as a magazine reader, possibly something focused on cats, as well as maybe a self-help book on fashion.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-3952957153871305332011-08-23T13:55:44.075-04:002011-08-23T13:55:44.075-04:00L-O-V-E.....it all!

One of my favorite movies - though can't find the book (and don't have one of those electronic readers). Right now I'm reading Victoria Clayton's "Past Mischief" set in England in the early 70's. I'd be tempted to go shopping on King's Road and getting something really mod, but since it's set in the country at a moated manor house, I'd probably be wearing bell bottom jeans with an Edwardian style black velvet jacket and a bit of lace-edged ruffles peeking out at the neck and cuffs.

How perfectly you have matched the extracts with the clothes, such a wonderfully imaginative idea.<br /><br />Having just returned from a visit to Virinia Woolf's home, Monk's House at Rodmell, we should love to join you at Mrs Dalloway's Party. Vintage Fortuny, complete with 'fascinator' and Armani 'White Tie' would be the order of the day. But, no dancing for us, just people watching, what fun that would be.<br /><br />We are sure that you must be a 'Bloomsbury Set' fan too but do not know if you have ever had the chance to visit Charleston or Monk's House. If not, we can heartily recommend them when you are next in England.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-30527559335046477352011-08-20T22:29:35.039-04:002011-08-20T22:29:35.039-04:00Country elegance and Sissinghurst for me, with En...Country elegance and Sissinghurst for me, with Enchanted April a close second.
