move over tiffany blue
there's a new blue box to be had.
complete with satin sashes and tissue galore.
and baubles to bate one's breath.
making girls swoon globally.
*note: these babies were nabbed from my new online obsession.
lovin' me some lanvin
i know mr. elbaz's frocks size much too fancy for this simple girl.
it's a miracle if a finagle a cuff here, or a sparkle there with the current threads i'm sporting.
but this pre-fall line has me ah-yah-yah'ing à la christina aguilera with each look that pops up in my tmag slideshow.
i'm not a greedy girl. i'm not asking for a leashed panther.
{at least not yet}
but my closet would definitely make room for some of this lanvin finery.
my grown up xmas list
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!Much pleasure thou can'st give me
just in case he IS checking his list twice here is what i would be asking for if we lived in that magical world where friends weren't sick, parents didn't fret over bills, animals frolicked freely, a soldier's watch was limited to his sleeping child, and our earth pumped out big gulps of clean, unpolluted air.
alas, this world eludes me. yet. till then, here's my shameless, materialistic christmas list.
grand? i think so. but tis just a wish list. health, peace of mind, safety, and a better world nix fendi shoes all day long.
have a jolly tuesday!

dancing for rain gods
my dancing both worked and didn't. for weeks i've been bouncing, flinging, flipping, and romping round for the rain gods. breathless, the beasts and i bounded round the roost beseeching the powers that be for winter weather.bellied up, our tongues lolled, eyes too exhausted to smile; we slept sapped and satisfied listening to requited raindrops patter down on the roof all weekend long.favorite and i seemed to have romped a little too vigorously. the showers came down, so did we......with colds. grrrrr. barricaded under duvets and a bouquet of lanvin (sawyer love's mommy's perfume) we drank tea, read, and watched movies.
as always, there's nothing my boy of ten can't ease: colds, headaches, heartaches.
even sick i was able to have a nice weekend.

Miss Lanvin
i'm a seasonal girl. living in southern california where we are seasonally challenged i like to over-emphasize the calendar with my soundtracks, attire, throw pillows, and scents. tis the time for lanvin's eclat d'arpege. lavender hued, lilac scented; a messed up mashup of fruit and amber. hot earl grey tea matched with clementines. gay and.......somber. ballroom gown in combat boots.fragranced, i'm less cuckoo in comparison. no?when i cry during saturday night live or giggle during requiem for a dream... those discrepancies merely marry my perfume.big smile.image
