lucky penny, as a wee one, loved to play dress-up in grandma’s closet… adorning herself in costume jewels, stomping around in heels too big, and parading about in fur toppers… that was every sunday afternoon.
so imagine her delight when she received an invitation to preview swarovski’s stunning fall/winter 2011 collection. titled “wings of fantasy”, over 50 pieces were on display.
flitting between a dozen podiums, she tried on numerous bold, beautiful pieces. her favourite? “the proudly” necklace… paying homage to the feathers of majestic birds. this multi-coloured beauty induced a longing and wishful sigh.
a close second was a fully encrusted hello kitty doll. only 88 were created and each one retails for about $10,000! sheesh.
for cute boyfriend, there were bracelets, rings, cufflinks, a necklace and accessories… like a beautiful, black leather iphone case, and two gorgeous skull paperweights.
***psst… a new fragrance was also unveiled. aura is a nice, light and summery scent with notes of white musk, lychee and hints of citrus… and housed in a crystal bottle, of course.
