  1. I LOVE that dress! I wish I had the figure to pull something like that off but those styles make me look too matronly! Your cats are so cute too :)

  6. I'm jealous of your ability to wear metallic tights, I tried it a few weeks ago and they just made my legs look fat (and they're not really).
    Next time you go to India bring back some beautiful silver things to sell to me, I can never find anything like that here! x

  16. I thought my eyes were going there for a minute when I looked at the photo where you're standing on top of the table...it has a certain Alice in Wonderland perspective, like you've grown into an Amazon & everything around looks decidedly smaller :)
