Sweet Alchemies And Other Fancies

High heels aren't necessary for a girl to dazzle - ballerinas always invites one to dance. Sadly I'm currently unable to dance. I so miss being a ballerina. To banish my sadness sister dearest sent these stylish footwear round to cheer me up. I adore the marriage of colours, the artistic details and the cut of the ballerina. Indeed. I smiled a sweet smile upon seeing them.

What I'm reading: Various Positions by Martha Schabas. This book is about the beauty and brutality of the world of ballet. Thousand thanks to Ingrid Mida of Fashion Muse for enrinching my life with this artfully written book. Thank you for this beautiful present.

What I'm cooking: Caribbean rice and peas with braised chicken, creole vegetables, duck breast with blackberries and prunes, fried West Indian dumplings with Caribbean spinach.

What I'm painting on canvas: The still-life within my head.

The music that enchants me:Le Salon de Musiques Chamber Schubert Cello Quintet by fellow violinist and friend Maia Jasper. Listen HERE

After Paris Fashion Week

Here I am in the first picture below by Vogue Black, Italy. Click HERE to visit their website for Paris Fashion Week Recap;-)

I was anxiously awaiting my driver after the Barbara Bui show when this image was taken. My feet were already hurting then. Paris Fashion Week was fun but exhausting. You cannot imagine how tired I am. My poor little feet are hurting - they are actually crying. One must recuperate from the Fashion Carnival, business meetings, dashing from show-to-show and champagne lunches. Back to blogging next week or the week thereafter.

I miss nature, the green country. It's almost six in the morning. I sit by the window and marvel at nature slowly awakening like a new born child, and I give thanks for a new day.

All e-mails will be answered after the forthcoming weekend. Off to the country house. Click HERE and HERE for more photos of Paris Fashion Week.

I am not a "Fashionista" nor am I "Chic" - and I'm not always fond of being "elegant", but I adore experimenting with fashion. xx
