Just a little something pour moi…

$_57-2 One for them, one for me..wasn’t that what we’d agreed??

Which is how this little vintage beauty slipped into my clutches (What was it Oscar Wilde said?..I can resist everything..except temptation? Wise man)..Perfect for Christmas morning and generally wafting about in. Tied at the waist the volume still hides a multitude of sins till I can find my perfect sleep-wear..

$_57-1(I think I may now have to decorously retire to my velvet chaise complete with satin eye mask and marabou sippers to contemplate whether Christmas Martinis should be shaken or stirred…)

(Yep. Hungover…Please explain to my kids what a ‘Do not disturb’ sign is as they don’t seem to notice it…(Darlings, the lights are on..but no-ones at home..))

Laters, muuuuch laters, Kate x

    Ohhh, Kate! How beautiful! As I was in Tokyo I wanted to buy something like this but (un)fortunately I did not happen to see such a wonderful one. Now you have a good reason to wake up every morning.

    The details of the motif, the gorgeous 1-D presentation, yes, this is the perfect sleep-wear … I’m sure that it’s as soft as it looks through the Internet ! xxxxxx

      I”ve literally spent hours looking at kimonos and working out which were the most desirable ones for me..this one ticked all the boxes..it was the colours and the (strangely) lack of symmetry of the design.. xxx

        I love it. I have seen a beautiful fabric panel of a geisha on a midnight navy background stood near a beautiful tree. I am wondering how it could become a shift dress!!

    LOVE IT!! Sadly, I’ve been doing 1 for you 2 for me :{ These online sales are killing me! Oh, and if you figure out a “do not disturb” sign that kids can understand you need to market that as well!! Miiiiiillionaire!

    Stunning…and you will be too when you wear it. I can already see you wafting…I’m having a Christmas party tonight and, as usual, feel woefully unprepared. I am, however, prepared to have a hangover tomorrow morning. Already got the mixers for bloody mary’s ready!
