Sparkly!

Forgive my very unglamorous iphone picture--I stopped by Holts today to visit a handbag I'm trying to make friends with. There's a sale going on there right now, so, of course, it's chaotic. In the midst of the crazed shopping rush though, was this Lanvin (I'm guessing) sparkler with a fabulous leather bow-I may need to make another friend.

Dries Van Noten, the season escapes me at the moment. Although I may not soon be able to wear a full dress of this elaborate stuff, I do love the little details on the cuffs and collars of some of the outfits. A little touch of Byzantium.

Byzantium has turned me into a bit of a magpie...

I have been lusting HARD over this Philip Lim dress/jacket; it's currently on sale at a fine boutique near me, but still far too much to justify when I've got my daughter's summer activities to register for tomorrow morning.
