alfred dunhill yesterday presented their fall winter 2011 collection at their gorgeous georgian mansion, bourdon house. aptly titled "home", dunhill brought the show back from paris where they had been showing for the past few seasons. and what a way to kick off the london menswear calendar. i was absolutely thrilled to be able to attend the presentation and see the pieces up close and personal.
the collection is divided into four themes: culture, provenance, discovery and elegance. my personal favourite is the above "culture" series, designed as elegant everyday wear, sophisticated enough to take us through from work to play.
absolutely love the camel colored double breasted alpaca wool overcoat, it is nothing short of stunning. in fact, it's my favourite piece from the entire collection. i almost wanted to step forward and give that model a hug, just to feel how soft that fabric must be. love the beautiful collar with elegant deco style scooped lining. and i could so see myself going to work in that ensemble. i am 90% sold, i think i will get it (begins baked beans diet).
also part of the "culture" series is this beautiful shearling collared overcoat. very lush. i couldn't take pictures of "elegance" as it was set within the private members' lounge at bourdon house (which is so elegant i could lounge there all day), but that collection featured sharply tailored but effortless looking evening wear. oh, charlie france was lounging 00o00h so impossibly cool in there.
another series which i love is "discovery". designed to keep us looking impeccable whilst warm and dry. i personally think outerwear is very strong at dunhill this season. there's a sense of adventure, and the dunhill explorer is looking impossibly chic. besides the camel colored alpaca coat above, my next favourite is the below arctic parka with beaver fur lining, simply regal.
my pictures probably did not do the collection much justice. i saw the gorgeous lookbook / studio shots featuring one of my favourite models george barnett. i'll try to post some of the pics if i can find them. i really enjoyed the presentation, it was much better than a runway show, and each piece really deserved their own airtime. and i agree it's a right move to show the collection in london, it's quintessentially english and strong collection this is, there's just too many menswear shows in paris vying for attention.
I love the leather varsity jacket.

How to change your Deputy (Court of Protection)
Posted on 11 Jul 2019, in Court of Protection
If the Court of Protection has appointed a Deputy to act on your behalf, on the grounds that you have lost mental capacity, there may be a need to alter the arrangement. There could be many reasons for this, from a change in the appointed Deputy's circumstances, to dissatisfaction with the way they are managing your affairs.
So how would you go about changing your Deputy?
What is a Deputy?
A Deputy is a person appointed by the Court of Protection (COP) to act on your behalf if you are judged to have lost the mental capacity to make certain decisions, for instance about your financial affairs.
A Deputy is appointed when the person who has lost capacity has never set up a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA).
In many ways, an Attorney and a Deputy have similar powers and responsibilities, but a Deputy is subject to ongoing scrutiny from the Office of the Public Guardian. Perhaps the biggest difference, however, is that the choice of who to appoint as LPA is entirely yours, whereas a Deputy will be appointed by the Court. While they will try to take into account what your wishes might have been, this is not guaranteed.
Why might you want to change your Deputy?
There are various reasons why it may be necessary to change your Deputy, and this will affect the way you go about it. For example, the person originally appointed may be unable or unwilling to continue in the role. Perhaps their circumstances have changed (e.g. ill health or increased pressure at work).
On the other hand, it can sometimes happen that, after discussion with relatives, friends or professionals, you feel that your Deputy is not acting in your best interests. In extreme circumstances, this could include dishonesty, but it could also be that, for instance, your Deputy appears to be managing your investments inefficiently. It might also be that you are just not happy with them
How you would go about changing your Deputy
Any change in a Deputyship would have to go through the CP and it is advised to use an expert Court of Protection solicitor.
If you are considering replacing a Deputy you or your family are dissatisfied with, it would usually be wise to talk to them about what is going wrong, with an advocate or your solicitor present — or, preferably, both. It may be that they are not aware of your dissatisfaction, or else that they have good reasons for their actions. This could mean that you avoid a lengthy and potentially expensive process.
However, if you are sure that you wish to replace them, it would be wise to have an alternative person to suggest as Deputy. The Court is not obliged to accept your wishes, but they will take them into account. Pick someone you and the people supporting you agree would be both competent and trustworthy, and make sure they would be both willing and able to carry out the role, if asked.
You, the proposed new Deputy or someone acting on your behalf, will then need to apply to the Court of Protection to retire the existing Deputyship and a new one appointed. An expert solicitor will explain and guide you through the process.
In the case of a Deputy who wishes to be replaced, this will be simply a matter of who will replace them. If the request is contested though, the Court will consider the pros and cons of the current Deputy and anyone proposed as a replacement.
If the Court feel that the proposed Deputy is not suitable, then can say that the current Deputy will remain or appoint a Panel Deputy.
If they decide to appoint a new Deputy, the process will be the same as for the original Deputy. The person appointed will have to pay an annual supervision fee, which may be paid from your assets, and will have to put in place a bond to protect against them misusing your money.
What if you no longer need a Deputy?
Unlike an LPA, appointing a Deputy through the Court of Protection is a long, costly process.
Sometimes, a person can regain capacity and therefore no longer needs a Deputy. In this instance an application to restore their finances will be required. In this case, the Court would examine reports about your capacity and come to a decision. If they agree with the application, the Deputyship will be cancelled and not replaced with another.
Help with changing your Deputy
You, or another person acting on your behalf, have a perfect right to apply to change a Deputy who does not seem to be acting in your interests.
If you need to go through this process it is vital to have the help of a solicitor who specialises in this area. We are always happy to help. Speak to our specialist Court of Protection team today on 01525 378177 or contact us online.

Get ready for your summer wedding with this DIY summer bouquet tutorial. Featuring our ever-popular Dahlias, Poppies, Roses, and Peonies, this silk bouquet is perfect for summer! Follow along with faux flower designer Holly's Wedding Flowers and make your very own bridal bouquet today!
Step 1: Start your bouquet by gathering together light pink and coral Cabbage Roses and a coral Dahlia.
Step 2: Add the coral and blush pink Peonies, pink French Rose, and the orange Casa Tropicana Roses. Secure the stems with floral tape.
Step 3: Continue broadening the bouquet by adding blooms of the pink Poppies, blush Dahlias, and blush Peonies.
Step 4: Add eucalyptus around your bouquet and use sprays of eucalyptus throughout to break up the color. Wrap all of the stems together with floral tape to secure in place. Then cut the stems down to 8" so there is enough of a handle to carry the bouquet and the stems look nice and even.
Step 5: Finish the bouquet in 3 different ways!
Option 1 - Finish off the bouquet by hiding the floral tape. Tie ribbon over the floral tape to hide it. Make sure to keep the ends a generous length to get a dramatic look.
Option 2 - Make it a cascading bouquet by including hanging greenery like a hanging Hops bush. Then hide the floral tape with ribbon by wrapping it around the stems and pinning the end into the stems, creating a classic bouquet wrap.
Option 3 - Add the Hops hanging bush to make it a cascading bouquet. Then tie the stems with ribbon, making sure to hide the floral tape. Keep the ends of the ribbon a generous length, similar to the length of the hanging greenery.
You have now created your very own summer bouquet! If you decide to make your own wedding bouquet with artificial flowers, we'd love to see it! Add #Afloral to your wedding photos on Instagram to share.
The price to make this bouquet will depend on which flowers you choose to use! By adding the items to your shopping bag, the prices will be displayed for you.
I love the bouquet, how's about an estimated price?

Cranberry woman to bike 200 miles on exercise bike for breast cancer research
Julia Maruca Eagle Staff Writer
October 11, 2022 Last Updated: October 14, 2022 03:15 PM Community
For the second time, Cranberry Township resident Karen Weiss will ride 200 miles on her Peloton exercise bike on Oct. 22 and 23 to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research. Last year, Weiss rode 100 miles and raised $7,400. SUBMITTED PHOTO
A Cranberry Township woman will embark on a long journey to raise funds for breast cancer — without ever leaving her home.
Karen Weiss will ride a total of 200 miles on her Peloton exercise bike on Oct. 22 and 23 to raise money for the Susan G. Komen organization and to promote breast cancer awareness.
"Unfortunately, too many of us have family and friends who have been impacted by this disease," Weiss' donation page reads. "Together, let's show breast cancer patients there's a whole community standing by their side."
Weiss got her exercise bike in March 2021, with the goal of improving her health. After hearing about PeloFondo, a community event for Peloton riders focused on long-distance mileage, Weiss knew she wanted to participate.
"One thing I do a lot of is goal setting, and I saw the PeloFondo, and people committing to a lot of miles, and I said, 'I need a reason to do it,'" she said. "That's where I decided to do the fundraising. I didn't actually know if I could run 100 miles when I said I would, but I used the fundraising and charities as a way to motivate myself to get through it."
Weiss decided to complete her ride for the first time last year to raise funds for Susan G. Komen, in honor of her friend, Terry Sue, who died of breast cancer five years ago.
"She was 47 and she passed, and I was 47 last year. For me, it was, 'I'm doing something she would never have the chance to do,'" Weiss said. "It's honoring every year that I continue to have life, and have everything that I have, that she never had an opportunity to."
Weiss set a goal of $4,700 for her ride last year, or $100 for every year of her friend's life. She ended up raising $7,400.
"As I started doing the fundraising, people started sharing their stories," Weiss said. "A lot of people have experienced this, or gone through a scare themselves."
Weiss's goal, along with gathering money for the charity, is to make sure people are aware of the resources that exist for breast cancer patients.
"It's a very personal story for me, and it's a good cause," she said.
She encouraged people to keep up with their regular screening appointments to help catch breast cancer early.
"If you know someone who is going through this, they can use this as a resource," she said. "We really need to be there for each other."
Anyone interested in donating to Weiss's drive can do so through the Facebook fundraiser "Karen's 100 Mile Challenge for Breast Cancer Awareness 2022."
For the second time, Cranberry Township resident Karen Weiss will ride 200 miles on Saturday, Oct. 22 and Sunday, 23 on her exercise bike to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research. Last year, Weiss rode 100 miles and raised $7,400. Submitted photo

And in every single special, emotional, joyful moment, Wade and Catherine were SAVORING.
They weren't distracted or worried by anything insignificant, but instead they truly focused in on what the day was all about: they were getting married.
So the next day, Wade and Catherine basked in the afterglow of ALL that goodness.
Wade and Catherine decided to schedule a day-after session devoted solely to couple portraits, which was amazing for two reasons: on their wedding day, they had extra time for their guests, and on the day after, we had unlimited time to capture GORGEOUS portraits of these two very happy newlyweds!
We strolled around Rancho Valencia with this sweet couple for a few hours and it was bliss! We'd say their marriage is off to a beautiful start!
Wade and Catherine: Ok ok, we know you're married now, but can we just repeat this week all over again?? We love you two (and your amazing families) so much!


Pirates extend Phils' ills in April ** Philadelphia futile again, wastes strong start by Lidle.
By now the Phillies' 10-14 April 2005 record has become common knowledge, rolling off tongues as easily as ABCs.
April 2006 could be worse.
With Saturday's 3-2 loss to Pittsburgh at PNC Park, the Phillies dropped to 9-14 this season. They must win this afternoon just to match their record of last April.
The Phillies have already lost this series against Pittsburgh. When the series started Friday night, Pittsburgh had a major-league-worst 5-18 record. Now the Pirates have won consecutive games for just the second time this season, and the first time since April 11-12.
Don't blame the Phillies' pitching for either loss in this series. Starter Cory Lidle gave the Phillies their second straight quality start Saturday night.
But for the second straight night, Pittsburgh's starter was better.
Left-hander Paul Maholm, he of the 7.40 ERA before Saturday, held the Phillies to one run and six hits over seven innings. He lowered his ERA to 5.86 in the process of leaving the Phillies' lineup frustrated again.
The Phillies didn't get a hit against Maholm until Lidle ripped a two-out triple, the first of his career, in the third inning. It was also the Phillies' first triple this season.
Lidle, meanwhile, gave the Phillies six solid innings, limiting the Pirates to three runs on four hits. Lidle only threw 74 pitches, but Phillies manager Charlie Manuel had to lift him for a pinch hitter in the seventh inning.
Lidle started the game by retiring the first six batters he faced. The seventh, Pirates catcher Ronny Paulino, led off the third with a hard grounder that third baseman David Bell stopped with a dive.
Bell's throw, however, bounced wide of first baseman Ryan Howard, giving Paulino a single and Bell an error that allowed Paulino to reach second. Chris Duffy's two-out single brought home Paulino.
The Phillies pulled even in their next at-bat. Bobby Abreu worked a two-out walk, giving him a walk in 15 of his last 16 games, and moved to second on a passed ball. Pat Burrell followed with an RBI single, tying the game at 1-1.
Pittsburgh answered in the bottom of the fourth. A one-out double by Jason Bay started a rally. A two-run home run from Jeromy Burnitz, his fifth of the season, gave the Pirates a 3-1 lead.
The Phillies threatened in the sixth when Abreu hit a two-out double and Burrell walked. Howard then lined a ball that diving second baseman Jose Castillo dropped when he hit the ground. Unsure of where to throw the ball, Castillo opted to fire it to second base. Burrell, who paused after he thought Castillo caught the ball, appeared to beat the throw, but second-base umpire Tony Randazzo called him out, ending the inning.
The Phillies managed just one run the rest of the way, a two-out solo home run from Aaron Rowand off Salomon Torres in the eighth inning.
They threatened in the ninth inning, loading the bases on walks by Burrell, Bell and pinch-hitter David Dellucci.
That brought up pinch-hitter Alex Gonzalez against former Phillie Roberto Hernandez. Gonzalez worked the count to 3-1, but then hit a grounder to third that started a 5-3 double play to to end the game.
