My outfit:
...casual elegance...
GIORGIO ARMANI - if I could!
The forecast is for snow - I've been told....
so, I need my large cashmere scarf,
and to stand around for hours....comfortable (!!!) Italian shoes.
To complete my outfit...
a mother of pearl bracelet,
this clutch bag and...
vintage ear clips, designed by Jil Sander in the 1980's
***
Knowing that Tina loves "Blue and White"...
...my 'opening present' would be
this pair of small Japanese dishes from the 1920's
***
A toast to your home, Tina!
CHEERS!
"Jeder sieht ein Stueckchen Welt, gemeinsam sehen wir die ganze"
Each of us sees a part of the world;
together we see all of it.
Let's party!

How could anyone EVER go wrong with Armani? Those Italians...only the best! Love this elegant & sleek look, just SO today. The vintage accessories are a work of art themselves, aren't they? Tina will DIE over those little blue & white plates. It's so wonderful knowing you, Karin. Thank you, Tina, for having all of us for Christmas, it's the best party I've ever been to. Merry Christmas !!
