    Congrats on your first hundred you made - lake of beauty!
    Thanks for so nice post before the absence...these nice outfits and atmosphere makes your blog one of the very places I adore on web...
    Today, I have thought about Dorian Gray - has anyone told you that you have not changed for years, since your first post here? How is it possible?
    I would like to apologize for the obviously wrong info I got from my friend and then presented on your blog - have called and cruised numerous H shops, however, it seems that the AW scarf collection has not touched the stores yet and is kept a well protected secret for the time being.
    Have a nice time away, Lea

      Sorry, my dear, I have made another mistake - in the first sentence, I wrote "one of the very places I adore on web", instead "one of the very FEW places I adore on web".
      I really do not visit a lot of places on web and your blog is one of the rare "firm points" I visit every day (cca. 50 times a day :-)
      Sorry the both mistakes.
      Hugs to you, Lea

      Thank you Matteo. The church is called ‘La Scuola Grande Di San Rocco’ and the garden picture is taken in the grounds of the Cipriani hotel.

    Yes this new mousseline scarf is really beautiful. I did'nt know it and as usual your combination of colours is perfect.
    As yourself with your summer's trench and the same colours than in the nature. So refined MT ! Probably it goes with your mind and intelligence. Happy DH!
    Hope you will enjoy your vacations. I will miss you...
    Kindest regards

    Congrats on your ≠100. These combo colours are also mine ....I bought a beautiful cascade wrap bordeaux-aubergine at Kettlewell. I hope you are leaving us for a nice vacation and relaxing time. In this case, no doubt you'll bring us back pictures, colours and new sensations.
    Read you soon!

    Oh MaiTai, beautiful color combinations with this mousseline! The mousselines are so lovely and full of movement. We don't see them as much in the stores here sadly.
