Some Enchanted Evening.....


The inaugural party....


...in Tina's beautiful new home on December 23rd.


The Enchanted Home


*

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!

  1. 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 !!
