Dandy Style: 250 Years of British Men's Fashion | Shaun Cole, Miles Lambert

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

Today‘s haiku (I still have a couple to catch up on) is inspired by the bird I was listening to this morning on the Merlin app. One of my favorites. I didn‘t get a picture this morning, so this one‘s from online.

Cocaine Blues: A Phryne Fisher Mystery | Kerry Greenwood

One of my favorite things about Miss Fisher‘s Murder Mysteries is Phryne‘s fabulous wardrobe! The 1920s is my favorite time period in general, but for clothes especially.

fabulous frocks flow
freely from Phryne‘s fantastic
form — flatteringly.

This was lovely. One could wish for even more pictures (a picture of every dress discussed), but it's all interesting and illustrative.

Ninteenth Century Fashion in Detail | Lucy Johnston

pick

As usual with these “fashion in detail“ books, it's beautifully illustrated, and the line drawings are helpful, but arrrghhh please show photos of the whole garment as well as the details!

Clare-Dragonfly Oh, that‘s frustrating! 3w

The Paris Novel | Ruth Reichl

As far away from Paris I could possibly be! From the wilds of Alaska, to the start of this book: NYC to Paris 🌟

Reading this because a friend JUST rec‘d it and Libby had it available. So far, extremely readable for a plane ✈️ ride home.

I‘m a day late, the air quality in New Hampshire took me out yesterday with a massive headache. Anyone else?

Anyway, I never read this book but I loved the movie. (Normally I hate a movie cover on a book, but this one has Kate Winslet so she gets a pass).

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I hope you‘re feeling better ❤️‍🩹 2mo

Cuilin @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks thanks, we still have an air quality alert due to the Canadian wildfires, but it‘s not as high as yesterday so 🤞 2mo

kspenmoll I stayed indoors yesterday - air quality was awful due to smoke & allergens. It saps my energy level. It‘s too bad because it‘s cooler outside this week! Hope you are feeling better. 2mo

Eggs Headaches are the worst. Hope your head feels better today😌 2mo

Cuilin @kspenmoll I just read an NPR headline saying wildfire smoke is like smoking half a pack a day!! 😳 I just want some fresh air. 2mo

Cuilin @Eggs thanks. Feeling much better today. 2mo

Sarahreadstoomuch NH here too…. And have been feeling run down and headache-y for days. Hopefully the winds will change soon! 2mo

Cuilin @Sarahreadstoomuch here‘s hoping 🤞 because my eyes are stinging still. 2mo

Sarahreadstoomuch @Cuilin I honestly didn‘t put it together until I read your post! 2mo
