Merci, Eartha Kitt

Eartha Kitt died yesterday and I wanted to do a small tribute. She was an inspiration as Cat Woman and in her performances in five languages around the world. C'est si bon, Eartha.

A Little Something for Me

I bought my husband's Christmas gift weeks ago. He chose it himself and charged me with finding and buying for myself something SPECIAL I really wanted. Which is a fun problem to have. This is a challenge when you feel you have everything you need and buy things for yourself regularly. What qualifies, then, as special?

For weeks, I've been searching, going through emails from Anthropologie and J. Crew, waiting for lightning to strike. Today, I found this fabulous vintage hand bag à la Glenda Gies. Add a brooch or a scarf and I'm ready for Christmas to begin.
