    Dearest Sande,

    Indeed, golden glamour does ones heart beat faster out of anxiety for what a parcel will contain for us. We too are anxious this week for what you will come up with!

    Have a great week with sunshine from Georgia,

    I love the gold ~ it speaks of opulence and elegance.
    It is the creme de la creme of colours!!!

    That chandelier at RL is gorgeous! I'd love to have one, but then I suppose I'd need the chateau in which to hang it!

    Have a wonderful week, sweet Sande! xo Gigi

    Two things I adore together - Ralph Lauren and PARIS. Funny, I wouldn't have thought RL's style would go over big in Paris (though he's insanely popular in Asia), but I'm browsing through the new True Prep, and they make the point that Europeans are now mad for prep style. Apparently so.

    P.S. I'm hosting a Marc Jacobs jewelry give away! I hope you'll stop by! http://sfair.blogspot.com/2010/10/marc-jacobs-give-away.html

    I used to work at Rl and will always have a soft spot. Can't wait to see the Paris store. That bejeweled embroidery is stunning.

    Cheers,

    Claudia
