    Dear Carrie,

    I know it is not a competion, but Blugirl gets the gold, and Hervé Léger the silver. Bronze is not shiny enough to hand out today ;)

    I think that it might be nice to be a Magpie for a day. Or an evening.

    Have a glittery weekend...

    I LOVE the hemline of the piece from Paris 68. Though the color of the Vivienne Westwood Red Label Foil-Print Jersey Dress is just heaven! :)

    Metallic is def savvy for spring. I got a pair of metallic shoes as accent instead of a metallic dress. : )
