My xmas rocked... how about yours?
I was spoiled rotten and received:
A first edition paperback of The Abortion: A historical romance 1966 by Richard Brautigan
Yeah! I made it myself and Lovely things to make for girls of slender means by Eithne Farry
A bottle of my favourite perfume, Samsara (I've been wearing it for 20 years!)
A beautiful deep crimson silk scarf
An amazing ring - hand painted by my super talented brother
A fabulous leopard print overnight bag
Some geek gadgets, chocolates and lovely bits n pieces...
Delightful!
As the new year looms, I've been looking back
through a year of posts and a few faves...
LEOPARD PRINT
A perennial favourite, I treat it as a neutral.
It puts a boom-chicka-wa-wow in my walk and makes me feel invincible.
YELLOW
I've said it before and I'll say it again:
You CAN wear yellow. You just haven't found the right shade yet...
And when you do it will chase the black dogs from your door.
BLACK AND WHITE
Always a favourite, I crave it... it grounds me. It brings me closer to Helena Bonham Carter, somehow... it makes me feel sophisticated, even when I am clearly not!
RED
My lifelong favourite. My first love.
I wear it when I'm tragic or delirious. Heartbroken or smitten kitten.
It's an exclamation mark, a comma, a cheeky hello, a hell no and a see-you-later.

You are a very lucky girl!
My Christmas was also great and full of food, drinks and music.
I love all the yellows and reds that you wore this year and I'm looking forward to read and see much more in 2012.
I hope that 2012 brings you lots of new adventures, dresses, accessories and laughter.
With love,
Love that round-up! Yellow, monochrome, red and yellow and animal print are all so you and you wear them so well.
Yay to both Eithne Farry books and to well chosen gifts. I'm glad you had a great Xmas, amor!

Gorgeous presents for a gorgeous woman!
Your round-up just proves (if further proof were needed. Which it isn't) how extremely FABULOUS you are. Always an inspiration.
PS. Just bought a wonderful 1960s YELLOW frock. Because of you, love, all because of you! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
love, and am in envy of your WONDERFUL SENSE OF STYLE! Glad you had a nice Christmas! Mine was pleasant too :)
Jealous, still! Hope you're reading!
