I guess Henry is tired of posing with beautiful purses, because he couldn’t hold back a yawn despite the beauty of my new lace Prada bag. Thank you to MrB for taking my very subtle hint and getting me this lovely anniversary handbag. (Rest assured he did not pay that inflated eBay price!) Or maybe…

A Sneak Peek
Just a glimpse! The dogs aren’t available for the traditional picture right now. They will try to fit me into their schedule later this weekend.
Bows and Blogversary

Mickey Mantle’s Number
MrB and I are celebrating our seventh wedding anniversary today. The traditional gift for the seventh anniversary is wool or copper. It’s also traditional to experience a seven-year itch. I think I’m going to combine those two traditions and get MrB an itchy wool sweater. What, no good? Okay, maybe I’ll do copper. Hello, Officer…

Do you find out only after you…
A Tribute to YSL’s Mondrian Tribute

The red version is on sale at Bergdorf Goodman for $251, down…
Fairy Feet and Other Photos
As I walked by the Prada store today I noticed some interesting shoes in the window. Fairy feet! I hope the dye doesn’t bleed like it does on the Fairy Bag or people will be very unhappy. Elsewhere today, I saw these flowers in a window box. Spring has sprung And gorgeous blogger/client Alice Olive…
Black, White and Floral All Over
I like the Balenciaga “Floral City Classic,” now available at Barneys for $1595. You can’t get it online; it’s only available at the store. How old-fashioned! I have one Balenciaga bag in bubblegum pink. Here’s Henry wearing it. Doesn’t look too happy about this, does he? Getting back to black and white, I also like…
