24 London Underground signs that will brighten your day
I’m not sure whose job it is to come up with these lovely little morsels of wisdom on the London Underground, but I used to love seeing them (on the rare times that I would see them). It certainly brightened my morning slog of a commute! Keep up the great work, Transport for London!
How much are you hated by the Daily Mail?
Ah, I did laugh at this one. If you’ve never read the Daily Mail, be grateful for little mercies. If you have, then you might enjoy this little online quiz!
As it turns out, I am hated by the Daily Mail. Quel surprise!
Perfect reflection, London
This photo was posted on Reddit.com and it’s simply stunning! Unfortunately, no photographer was credited, but it is still worth sharing! Happy Wednesday!
Beatles covers as pocket squares
Turnbull & Asser has released a limited edition series of Beatles album covers turned into pure silk pocket squares, exclusively at Bloomingdale’s. They are hand rolled and finished in England and each cover is selling for $150 a piece, or you can pick up the entire box set for $1,995!
Bloomingdale’s is puttin’ on the Brits
Bloomingdale’s is showing the Brits some love this month with a section on their website called “Puttin’ on the Brits.” They’re currently featuring more than 40 British brands, 14 pop-up shops, 60 in-store events and more!
The 21 greatest moments in the life of a Londoner
I like Buzzfeed.com’s list of the 21 greatest moments in the life of a Londoner. It makes me yearn to be back in the city a little bit (particularly the joys of number 1, 3 and 21).
“Downton Tabby”
Well, if you’ve ever felt like “Downton Abbey” is missing a bit of feline flair (and who hasn’t?), keep an eye out for “Downton Tabby” by Chris Kelly, which will be released Dec. 3.
If this cover is an indicator of the quality read that awaits, we are all in for a treat!
Dinner doodles
I love the idea of this book by the U.K.’s Marion Deuchars. “Let’s Make Some Great Placemat Art” is the perfect antidote for any child who’s bored sitting in a restaurant waiting for dinner to arrive (and a godsend to parents)!
First world problem: Missing the Emmy Awards
Congrats to “Breaking Bad” for winning Best Drama. Sure wish that I could’ve seen it!
Waaaaah! I can’t believe I missed the Emmy Awards yesterday. Not only did I miss them, they weren’t even on my radar. I had no idea they were happening yesterday until I went online and spotted some headlines – the top being that the U.K.’s Damian Lewis from “Homeland” didn’t get the big prize.
Cue the sad trombone.
All I could do was live vicariously through The Mirror’s play-by-play account of the evening. And sieve through the Red Carpet photos on Huffington Post. Le sigh.
When a technical glitch gives you a Hitler mustache …
I did laugh at this: A pixelation glitch at BBC Studios gave Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party, a Hitler mustache today, while he was on the channel talking about the need to limit immigration.
This comes after Farage was accused by a former teacher of singing Hitler youth songs while in school. Coincidence?
The BBC said in a statement “The big screen is owned by MediaCity UK, not the BBC. The fault has been reported to them and they are working to rectify it as soon as possible.”
