I love a tie with elephants. I love a tie with Paisley. This tie combines both and is perfection.

I left my headphones at home. At least I hope they are at home. Now I have to survive a day in the office without podcasts or audiobooks. It's going to be a long day.

Sometimes classic Paisley in slightly off colours is just what Monday demands.

I'm excited it is Scorpio season. Scorpios are passionate and assertive people with determination and focus, and this tie really reflects that.

A well written, 3rd person romance that has brothers, a band and a ranch? Yes please! Also character growth, family and horses. This was such an enjoyable read. Now I have to wait for the rest of the series to come out.

It's interesting how many of our public holidays are commemorating/ celebrating cruelty, death or exploitation. Anyway, here's a tie with some horses on it, happy Cup Day.

When I look at the Book of Kells my first thought is "I wish someone would put that on a tie".

Sharondblk's review of Heart the Lover
5/5: This books starts with three college seniors in a sort of love triangle. It's angsty and very relatable. Then it skips forward 27 years. They are all grown up and living different lives, but stil...

I love reading about the music scene of the 70s and 80s eg Daisy Jones or The Songbook of Benny Lament. This is told from the point of view of someone who was there at the beginning and thinks she should get more credit than she does. So good

It's like the designer did a rough draft to tidy up later, but that ended up being the final design. #badtiemonday #workwear #crimesagainstfashion

I wanted something bright and happy to cheer up this Monday. I think this tie was homemade, it's quite a light fabric and no interfacing was used. I feel like it looks a bit like something a clown would wear. 👔
