Front view of an hourglass shaped bustle dress consisting of a blue and white floral long line bodice and a ruffle and pleated blue silk skirt

Side view of the 1870s blue and floral bustle dress showing the length of the bodice an the long train at the back

Back view of the 1870s blue and floral bustle dress which shows how the floral bodice falls into the bustle arrangement at the back

It is all about sleeves in the second half of the nineteenth century, the length of which indicated the kind of event you were attending. The #1870s three quarter length here is a reception dress, evening but not a full blown party. Etiquette was everything #centraalmuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

I somehow had no idea this existed. 40 million posts of our delightful make way for ducklings but nary a post for the giant squid animal menagerie?

I’ve never thought about the majority catholic mission location thing but that is so accurate!

He clearly doesn’t understand the concept of an “out of state” student and what that means for residence. What a moron.

Same! Sitting here watching the GG marathon on Hallmark and read that original post and immediately thought “the original Star Wars” but then started thinking about all the references in the show that I’ve never watched

2025 Moderna Covid shot: review 😆 not as bad as the 4 prior years, but still knocked me out. Body aches, chills, lots of sleeping. But it lasted a shorter amount of time. Chills not as bad. Hoping for a year with no side effects in the future. 🤞

Sometimes I wonder how we got here but then sometimes I think about when Blair Witch was released and a lot of us were like omg they FOUND this footage that’s so crazy

A close up detail of a long velvet evening coat. This photograph shows the blue velvet background with hand embroidered florals covering the surface, including the high velvet collar

Full length view of the back of the long blue velvet evening coat embroidered all over with pale sweet cicely flowers and lace inserts around the bottom half

This will be forever one of my favourite garments in the V&A. It is a late #1890s coat from Marshall & Snelgrove, featuring hand embroidered sweet cicely flowers with white felt petals that float on top of blue velvet, V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

A stack of books on a wooden table. From top to bottom: Lorraine Heath Beyond Scandal and Desire; anthology by Kathleen Woodiwiss, Catherine Anderson, Loretta Chase, and Lisa Kleypas called Three Weddings and a Kiss; The royals next door by Karina Halle; the secret history of the pink carnation by Lauren willig, the masque of the black tulip by Lauren willig, and the mark of the midnight manzanilla by Lauren willig

Life has finally settled down enough after the big move this summer that I could resume library book sale hunting. Today’s findings! Two of the Lauren Willig books are replacements for copies I already own.

I still have the Looney Tunes Nickelodeon commercial memorized that was set to a classical song. They really brought culture to us 😆

Fall in #NewEngland coming at you from Haunted Happenings in Salem, but last weekend bc while September Salem is busy, October Salem is wild.

A photograph of mannequins wearing two different quilted dressing gowns. One is brown and the other one is pale blue. Both are embroidered with floral patterns and both have silk cord waist belts

Storm Amy is rolling in here today so I propose hot cups of tea all round, a good book & feet up whilst wearing a quilted dressing gown. These were made in Japan in huge numbers for the Western market, quilted & embroidered in a range of floral motifs. Both 1880s #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡 @metmuseum.org

I do hope you report back to her how her colleague disregarded her opinions and spoke negatively on her suggestions.

I firmly believe this is where Pelosi excelled in 2018. Letting candidates run the race that best fit where they were. These districts are all very different.

Still slowly reading this one as I’ve been relying mostly on ebooks & audiobooks of late, and I was greatly enjoying this until the random HP reference, which I’ll generally forgive if pub’d pre 2022 but this was ‘23. I hope it was just an oversight from something before JKR revealed her sh*ttiness

When we moved my mom found my container of this and was like “wtf?” 😆

There's still time to grab these audiobook sales from Chirp! Including some Lisa Kleypas and Talia Hibbert 👀

Definitely the vibes I’m getting and good on him for giving those victims a little bit of justice!

Definitely making it harder for R’s to dodge the blame on the shut down and providing a golden opportunity for D’s to visit R congressional districts & hold town halls where the R’s won’t

I need a couple more listens but I’m definitely warming up to the songs. It took me like a week to start really liking TTPD. Then again I’m not a lifer Swiftie - more of a casual fan who went down the rabbit hole with Eras tour so I always wonder if that’s why I’m slower to grab on.

Not quite daily at this point but here’s some more fall in #NewEngland vibes - a celebratory view from the Big E.
