A week ago I got a nice bit of pale blue on the head for my birthday. Yesterday, I got a different sort of pale blue whilst staying in the accessories arena. I stipulated a no gift policy but the superkind, supercool friends in Paris decided otherwise. Fair enough. I’m not going to complain when the pale blue in question is that very recognisable, smooth-to-touch box…
A black patent necklace with a red cluster of enamel gems in the centre from the AW07 collection, the first Lanvin show I had experienced at Paris Fashion Week with said friends and actually the first show where I got SERIOUS fashion tingles…
I did feel like objecting by saying Carine-Roitfeld-stylee "Red? I never wear this colour…" (replace red with yellow in Carine’s case…) but the shade is on the right side of a vibant red as opposed to orangey-red and with all the interesting black which I have accumulated recently, I’ll be glad to don this beautiful blood cluster around my neck
You know who you are… thank you for making my birthday both strange (going to some random apartment and sitting around drinking orange juice with a hyperactive child at my side and a drunk mother sashaying her hips), delicious (yummy steak), tasteful (the necklace) and beautiful (all the things combined) all at the same time…
