…the light fell like dry water,
in transparent and deep circles
of fresh force.
Pablo Neruda
In taking time for reflection, who knows what you will discover about yourself?

Clothing should not mask a person, but enhance one.
Richard Bengtsson & Edward Pavlick
What do you do when you find the perfect dress and your mother (or sister or friend) tells you it is nice but impractical and so you pass on it, but spend the rest of the season regretting your decision?

What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined…to strengthen each other…
to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories. – George Eliot
If I had known that he was going to be my only great love, I would never have let him go.

The stars try to imitate the glitter in your eyes
But fail helplessly and cry for your sight
To pacify my heart which pounds and weep
To see you till its last beat.
from The Glitter in Your Eyes – C. N. Premkumar
This Valentine’s Day take a moment to behold your lover’s beautiful eyes.

Brevity is the soul of lingerie. – Dorothy Parker
This sizzling satin and lace slip from Rio de Janeiro heats up a romantic evening!
My fascination with the full slip dates back to a time when I watched old movies with my mother – particularly BUtterfield 8 starring bad girl, Elizabeth Taylor. Pillow Talk with Doris Day, and Niagara with Marilyn Monroe.

At every party there are two kinds of people – those who want to go home and those who don’t. The trouble is, they are usually married to each other.
Ann Landers
My cousin has mastered the art of working a room. Two hours into a cocktail party, he has connected with everyone there and forged several new and possibly lasting friendships. I, on the other hand, typically engage in two or three meaningful conversations and then am ready to bolt, unless there is dancing – and in that case, I am good for the duration.

O welcome, pure-eyed Faith, white-handed Hope,
Thou hovering angel, girt with golden wings!
John Milton (Comus)
I remember fashioning angel wings from wire and tulle fabric, and decorating them with soft down feathers, and gold and silver glitter for my daughters’ Christmas pageants in elementary school.

Diamonds are radiant white,
They shine like starts in the night.

What a delight to receive sparkly jewelry at Christmas! I wear these rhinestone earrings at least once every holiday season.
