{A Dandy Portrait: Mr. Crowley}





Sean Crowley is a neckwear designer for a Major Brand (we can't tell you who, but it's probably the pre-eminent name in menswear in America). He lives in a Brooklyn apartment crammed floor to ceiling with the accoutrements of a gentleman's lifestyle, from rowing paddles to cocktail ingredients to neckties. Thousands and thousands of neckties, which hang on a custom rack he built with his father.

{Merry Christmas to All!}

Merry Christmas Eve and Christmas day, my best wishes to all my nice Eaton Square followers and please do not forget the true meaning of this day, the Nativity not the capitalist disease. Humility, Solidarity and Love; Peace on Earth.
 Love,
C.RBM.

{How to make: Holiday Leaf Crown}

I show you an eassy idea for a nice hairstyle - specially for this season when there´re a lot of parties for being amazing stunning-. Let´s see.



Materials: wire thin enough to shape to the head, wire cutters, greenery clipped from the garden, gold spray paint, straw floral tape

Step 1: Spray paint your leaves at least 24 hours before you intend on making the crown.
Step 2: Measure the wire around the model's head and cut it with 3 extra inches.
Step 3: Form the wire into a circle and wrap the extra inches around to secure it.
Step 4: Break the leaves into 2 1/2" segments.
Step 5: Take your first segment and floral tape it around the wire.
Step 6: Take the next segment of leaves and overlap it with the previous segment and floral tape it around the wire.
Step 7: Repeat until you get to the end. Overlap it with the beginning.

That's it! Voila!

{I Capture the Castle}


1st Option, the premiere UK property management firm for filming and photography, recently added a Gloucestershire castle to its portfolio of amazing properties. All photos of old castles immediately make me think of the book “I Capture the Castle”, by Dodie Smith. Have a look:

{Dec 10th, The "International Day for Animal Rights"}



We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form.
