A tiny flower in the middle of the snow.......

In a tulle dress made up of vibrant greens and yellows, I feel like Spring in the middle of the blizzard that we've been having here for the last few days. It is cold and the snow (although only as a fine as dust) just keeps on coming! Each morning we bundle ourselves up to leave the house and I'm always so happy to reach the warm theatre..... Dancing as snow in act 1 feels appropriate and in act 2 as we waltz on as flowers it doesn't match the white backdrop that surrounds the Opera House outside.

It is very beautiful...... but a tad chilly!!!!!

Oh Chanel.....

Ohhhh, to have a different piece of Chanel arm candy for each day of the week....

I am ever so slightly obsessed and wish my bank balance would live up to the price tags..... That isn't going to happen anytime soon, so for now I can dream and share with you the Chanel Paris - Bombay Show 2011/12 that took place on December 6th '11 at the Grand Palais, Paris.

Jealous ??? ME???? Nooooooo!!!
