The ribbons running up my arms

I have to admit, after seeing the film Marie Antoinette, I really did feel like diving into a great pool of excess.  For example, buying a large box of Laduree macaroons and eating them whilst taking a rose petal filled bath.  The fashion equivalent I think would be these gloves.  Made by traditional British glovemaker, Cornelia James, they can be ordered at any length you wish in a huge range of colours if you call them up.  The little ribbons running up the arms is really too sweet.  If you really wanted to ‘do’ a Marie Antoinette, you could ring them up and demand a box of 20.  Me personally?  I’ll stick to the one pair and wear them with short sleeved wool sweaters and long dresses, or over a sleek black turtleneck and skinny trousers.
