Interestingly enough, my yellow T-shirt from Target matched the lime epsom perfectly....

Fabulous grouping lala (and so proud to be twins with with Into the Canadian Wild), I know VV must look so beautiful on you

For dear Lanit,
Le Pegases exquisite shawl in grey and white

It has a bit of an iridescent sheen to it which makes it hard to capture the details up close on the grey shawl.

The intricate beading is easier to see on the white shawl. The sequins and beading is actually colorless but the thread underneath is colored.

I think the grey shawl is more “me” in terms of coloration and the embellishments more subtle against the grey silk, which makes it easier to wear. The white one is definitely a head turner.

Hi Maedi,
Thank you. I’m happily surprised at how the Ardennes leather has retained the Rouge VIf color so well after many years of use and without a single trip to the H spa. I’ve always been told that while Ardennes is a good workhorse leather, it doesn’t soak up color as well as its sibling leathers and often requires more frequent spa visits to maintain its original color. This one has been banged and smushed and rained on more than a handful of times — insert horrified emoji here — but I still love her. It’s bigger size and shloopiness as a retourne Kelly has allowed me to really stuff her full of stuff. I still dream of being a small handbag kind of gal, but truth be told, I’ve always carried the kitchen sink with me.

How wonderful that your Kelly is so durable. A beauty that is much loved and used. And I had to chuckle about taking the kitchen sink - I can go both ways depending on the bag size but usually not smaller than 31cm :)
