Say something to the person/s who tagged you.
Laura ~ you are so fabulously creative and intelligent – I have really enjoyed getting to know you through your blog!
If you could have a vacation home totally paid for, fully furnished anywhere in the world, where would you want it to be?On Aspen Mountain.

The beach on Fire Island.
Name 5 things you can’t live without. Cappuccino. Couture. Literature. Love. Lettuce.
What would you like to have in your hands right now?
Freshly picked raspberries, with or without champagne.
What is your favorite ice cream flavor?Jamoca almond fudge.
What would you like to get rid of?
My “eleven” – you know, those 2 pesky little lines between the brows that could probably be eradicated, at least temporarily, by a bit of Reloxin, the new wonder drug!
If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go?
Topshop in NYC.
What did you want to become as a child?
A gymnast or a writer.

What designer piece of clothing would you most like to own (new or vintage)?
I would adore a poufy Giambattista Valli dress, a Balmain blazer, or a vintage Lanvin dress – I actually own this one pictured at left from Ete 2007... I bought it at the Barneys Warehouse Sale a few years back and have no clue how to style it - it's gorgeous but backless and tres short!
CC is tagging ALL of her Fellow Fashionistas to rework, reword, revamp, and answer these fabulous queries – enjoy, darlings! Can’t wait to see your answers!

I am timid, because I don't wear my pyjamas on the street. :) BUT I like them on the catwalk...
Have a great Sunday

J'adore the Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Deep-V Jumpshort - the color is breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteOoh, when I was in fourth grade I went through the biggest gymnastics phase - I honestly thought I would become a gymnast. Two weeks after the Olympics I tired of it and went back to thoughts of being a veterinarian. :)
I am totally fascinated by nightwear inspired pieces this season!! I was in love with the Dolce collection and the Armani silk trousers were soooo beautiful. Yay for henna tattoos, I do them for my mum and sister alll the time, my hands are well experienced with traditional Indian pattern making :) Oh and glad to see you drink your tea greeeen lol.
ReplyDeletelove the Balmain jacket
ReplyDeleteI love the Wang jumpsuit. And is that a new header? I love it.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what is up with onesies in the fashion world! They're looking chicer every day.
ReplyDeleteLove the orange 'robe' ;b
ReplyDeleteThe PJ look is a difficult one to carry off! Maybe it was inspired by women from Liverpool who tend to spend all day in their pyjamas and go everywhere in them! I love that pearl and safety pin necklace - I fancy having a go at that! :) x
ReplyDeleteLovely post! Great find for an easy DIY on the safety pin necklace.
ReplyDeleteLove your answers! Right now I'd love some raspberries, champagne and to get rid of my '11's...
ReplyDeleteBalmain jacket is amazing! I really love it
