Every Monday and Wednesday I start my day with a LARGE cup of coffee and 10 minutes of quiet time as I look through the What’s New tab on Net-A-Porter.   Every now and then I come across a few pieces I consider “One for the Archives”. This is a piece worth investing in and growing with over the years.  The kind of piece you can wear from age 20 to 80 and get endless pleasure out of owning.  These are the pieces I plan on passing down to my daughter, when I have her… right Christene?

At the moment I am having a craving for lace and velvet. (Lucky Mag, I think we are on the same page here) and these beauties definitely took my breath away…

If only I could buy all the things I lust over… but then I guess they wouldn’t be as fun to dream about.
