So what's a High King of Arda to do when he's been stripped of his powers by his father oh a whim, mmm?
A day out in London! Of course I had to check out Roland Mouret's Spring 2003 Ready-to-wear collection, and I was most lucky to have company this time. Who else but dear old
Cara! I had promised her a sweet treat of genoise afterwards, of course, and how could she resist!
I had bought her this little outfit:
And of course an outfit is never complete without a makeover and what else is a better excuse to have her try out Stila's new fall collection of cosmetics! The bronze summer look is so last season, and this season ushered in the smoldering gypsy and bohemian look with the olive greens and the smoky brown hues and the burgundy... most perfect for Cara, I believe. This season is ours.
I also picked up this little piece for my darling
wife. I do hope that she'll like it. Hmmmm...:
And oh, is there so much to look foward to! The Luella and Marc Jacobs show are both on the eighteenth in New York, and there I will take Miss Cara again, if she permits me to. I mean, a fashion show is never complete without somebody sitting beside you with a feedback of nervous giggles and expressed outrage and compressed awe over collections of clothing. It is a shame that she was not present when I attended the Yves St. Laurent show. I was too blind blinking back tears. Yves St. Laurent. Retiring?! It broke my heart.
It makes me misty-eyed just thinking about it. Oh sigh...
But it has been taken over by Gucci, I believe? Only good can come from this. Always look to the future, my darlings, because it may bring great things.
I must go! My crème brûlée is waiting to be cracked with my silver spoon. Smooches to all!
