Also, underneath all the tacky she has the most stunningly beautiful face. And now I learn she designs a decent lurex poloneck too. <br /><br />I shall give your spritz cookie recipe a go. I have a biscuit press but I've never yet got a recipe that works successfully in it. Perhaps this will be the one. Or perhaps I'm just shite at using a biscuit press. Your biscuits look gorgeous.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-44255672129093811342016-12-17T14:10:18.638-08:002016-12-17T14:10:18.638-08:00LOVE the deer brooch!LOVE the deer brooch!Miss Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10899889154015378547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-88289015747112165902016-12-14T16:54:40.085-08:002016-12-14T16:54:40.085-08:00@Sue

(The egg, of course, adds much needed protein to the diet.) This inside only ensemble reminds one of Vix's evening at home hostess dress and can't say nicer than that.<br /><br />"Old lady" smell? To me, that means mothballs, Cameo soap, and Murphy's oil soap. Perhaps a dollop of rose glycerin and mercurochrome wafting from the wooden medicine cabinet...Beth Waltzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02720634636307254576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-14982951144508404582016-12-14T00:58:52.436-08:002016-12-14T00:58:52.436-08:00That jumper is fabulous.

I couldn't resist Googling images of Nicky Ninaj after reading your post and failed to find a single one of her in a turtleneck.<br />Your baking looks very impressive. For an ex-chef and also a trained patissier ( I earnt a distinction in my professional qualification) I'm a huge disappointment in the kitchen! xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-57298267666207490562016-12-13T19:28:03.873-08:002016-12-13T19:28:03.873-08:00Looking festive!

Is Martha Stewart still doing her 'everyday' collection in Kmart's home, kitchen & garden dept's? <br /><br />Rose (especially damask or taif varieties) , violet, iris, and orris in any combination usually get the dreaded 'old lady' label. Elizabeth Arden's Red Door is a good example of a modern take on rose & violet and Prada's Infusion D'Iris is a modern take on iris. (Both are really easy to find and sample with a spritz.)<br /><br />Bibi Maizoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383381158640915162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-74694714504181913042016-12-13T12:38:47.608-08:002016-12-13T12:38:47.608-08:00@Veronica

I've never been able to smell Joy (thanks jasmine anosmia!) but I can smell Arpege, and to me the iris is the dominant note there. It is a style that has fallen out of fashion, though heaven only knows why-I'd much prefer it to the candy floss perfumes of today. I don't know Florisette but just about anything by Floris is going to be good quality-I wish heir stuff was easier to get in the US.Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-63313227616388024832016-12-13T12:33:52.387-08:002016-12-13T12:33:52.387-08:00Nicky Minaj and Susan Bristol...together.

Who knew? Love the scatter pins and as for the earrings - fabulous. I just can't imagine my earrings freezing to my neck/face. It surely does gets cold in Nebraska!<br /><br />I have a love hate relationship with Rive Gauche; I love the packaging but always associate the smell with my ex sister-in-law who hated me...we got to like each other in the end and she lives in North Carolina now.<br /><br />Those cookies look gorgeous and how kind of you to donate them to public service workers and thrift store volunteers. I wish someone would do that at ours!!<br /><br />Talking of old ladies - and you look nothing like an old lady in your fab fur coat - I bought some perfume called 'Florisette' by Floris quite cheaply in a chemist recently. I don't know what the heck is in it but boy does it remind me of old lady perfumes like Arpege and Joy - I like both and I like Florisette - but what is is it that gives it that old lady smell? Can you tell me? My nose is so uneducated.Vronni's Style Meanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122302881528071270noreply@blogger.com
