I really love the necklace you are wearing, it looks a lovely milky shade of blue, but that could just be the light. I will google it later.<br />How about that dress with an acid yellow slip! I wish I knew where to buy such a thing.<br />Oh I have deck envy now!indigo16https://www.blogger.com/profile/16982477144454205765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-13782159018437592622010-10-10T16:14:13.424-07:002010-10-10T16:14:13.424-07:00Aunt Snow: Hmmm, having to keep the legs shaved ye...Aunt Snow: Hmmm, having to keep the legs shaved year-round, what a tradeoff for good weather!<br />Enjoy your LBD event!<br />Mardel: That's exactly why I love this necklace. And it's interesting what you say about the photos -- my sister was saying the same thing just yesterday.<br />Patricia: So funny, I've been reversing that process -- having always worn silver, thinking it my colour, I'm experimenting with more gold as I'm realizing I can wear warm shades I used to think were off-limits for me.<br />Anyway, that bracelet is from Tiffany: silver balls on a fine silver chain. On my other wrist is a silver cuff bracelet carved by a West Coast (Kwagiutl) First Nations artist -- I wear it at least 4 days a week!<br />LBR: Believe me, I'm grateful! And your blog is one of the things I'm grateful for. . . hope you had a good weekend!materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-43385574918327506852010-10-10T13:18:28.318-07:002010-10-10T13:18:28.318-07:00That outfit is fantastic.

The necklace is indeed stunning - love the colour. I particularly like your silver wrist jewellery. I'm looking for a silver cuff, think it's a lovely chic look. I can't make out if the beads on the other wrist are pearls or just silver-coloured? In any case, I've lately become more interested in white metal jewellery - being a blond child and still (in my head) somewhat blond, I always thought that yellow gold was best for me. However, today I looked at some silver eyeglass frames and will probably get them. I think it's a cleaner look.

With someone actually taking the pictures the interaction between the two comes into the photos and brings a warm and life to the final photos.<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving!!Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-9341140012070632042010-10-08T21:10:40.784-07:002010-10-08T21:10:40.784-07:00You do look wonderful.

It's hard to wear stockings here in southern California - it's equally tricky to have pale white bare legs in winter!<br /><br />I'm going to an event tomorrow where I have an LBD to wear - hope it works out.Glennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03681336164718681936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-78711185877892930592010-10-08T19:48:18.514-07:002010-10-08T19:48:18.514-07:00Kristin: I know!

You're invited, though, anytime!<br />Pseu: Thanks! Now we just need one of those lovely Napa Valley pinots to go with the bird.<br />Thanks, Lisa -- he's getting to that shutter more quickly, which helps!<br />Tiffany: And I suspect you probably bring along some appies as well! Thanksgiving is a perfect celebration, requiring no gifts other than companionship and appreciation. <br />Duchesse: Thanks! Your opinion on the necklace, especially, matters. I love the sturdiness of the chalcedony floating on the fine silver chain, and the watery colour has its own seductive power. And the way stone warms against one's skin . . . <br />Thanks, Hostess -- I bet you and your crew will have a fabulous feast together with that new little girl to admire.<br />F>50: Yes, I like it because it's like the DvF dresses -- and even a bit better as hers have been too short lately.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-17067746937111273402010-10-08T19:11:02.395-07:002010-10-08T19:11:02.395-07:00Am reading Diane vn Furstenburg's book, and th...Am reading Diane vn Furstenburg's book, and this dress reminds me of her wrap-dress.
