I find it to be rather haunting. So glad you enjoyed WSS - its one of my favorites!Nadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315207186180201488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892722103504759154.post-56625059256881089072012-08-05T20:03:44.599-04:002012-08-05T20:03:44.599-04:00Lovely totes!

I have a Longchamps 'backpack' which I bought at Galleries Lafayette in 2001; it's since had the zipper broken, but only because I wore the heck out of it.<br /><br />Chocolat croissants, for sure! Have you tried the frozen ones from Trader Joe's? They're <i>almost</i> as good.<br /><br /><br />Didn't know that about Mark Jacobs designing for Vuitton...<br /><br />Love scarves; they can extend the wear of so many dresses/shirts just by adding one simple adornment. My first Hermes cost $110.00, a shocking amount to me in 1985 on a beginning teacher's salary. Now I couldn't begin to buy one for myself!<br /><br />I haven't tried the novel you mentioned, haven't, in fact read anything by Rhys so thanks for that incentive. <br /><br />What a great post!Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892722103504759154.post-65771157289117200512012-07-22T14:42:36.005-04:002012-07-22T14:42:36.005-04:00Lisa, LOL!Lisa, LOL!Nadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315207186180201488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892722103504759154.post-47460239162549538442012-07-20T22:18:04.370-04:002012-07-20T22:18:04.370-04:00Well, I don't know which eye candy I like bett...Well, I don't know which eye candy I like better in this post!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892722103504759154.post-52796737228360212372012-07-19T19:01:58.625-04:002012-07-19T19:01:58.625-04:00Wallace, me too!
