The Sales..

m-31-167417-4-daGSmqdJwxXK After the gluttony of Christmas the January Sales have to put on their best bib and tucker to draw us out again by dangling tempting morsels of true fashion aristocracy…like the chance to clutch an iconic Charlotte Olympia creation reduced from $1556 to $785..tempted?

True fashion will always have a price but I’ve always thought if it takes a bit of pain to gain then it rises above normality and takes on special powers that naturally envelope the wearer. On that basis I think I’d better learn the lesson…and get saving for next year…

    I love the fab leather pieces and Charlotte Olympia’s fairy-tale like shoes ! I wish you a spectacularly glamorous New Year ! Because of recurrent Internet and PC problems, I’m not sure that I’ll be as present on WordPress as I was throughout 2014. So, I’d like to thank you for supporting my blog in 2013 ! Party hard on NYE ! xxxxx

    OMG the Balmain leather pants! If only, I doubt I could even slip a foot inside them. I would really love a pair of leather trousers in general but I always think of that episode of friends with Ross and the Talc! I want to thank you for your like and posts on Ginger and Cream so far. I really appreciate it. Your blog is lovely! I hope to be half as good. Happy New Year, all the best. x

    Thanks for gathering them all together like that. Now I don’t have to worry about going out and catching a chill. (The only way I can resist, you see, is if I stay indoors, away from the shops and safely out of harm’s way. New year’s resolution: SAVE MONEY!! 🙂
    Happy new year to you! xo
