As you can see, even the littlest girls are fashionistas here in Florence. Note the layered denim look paired with a red vest, matching leggings and the polka dot bag!

Weather here is just fabulous: sunny and cool, which makes for perfect shopping excursions. The Florentine gold jewelry has been beckoning to me recently. A client just purchased an ancient Roman coin which had be made into a pendant. A piece of history and a piece of beautiful jewelry too! I am very glad to have only two wrists, or I would cash in my 401K and buy the most exquisite bracelet I have ever seen. Hard to describe, but the workmanship is just incredible, and the bracelet is haunting my dreams!

And I am still lusting after several pairs of boots…..gray booties with a 2 inch wedge heel and fun detailing, taupe suede booties with hand stitched accents and the tall camel suede and leather flat boots….decisions, decisions!

Makes me wish I were four years old again, having my mother buy my clothes and dressing me in a plaid pleated skirt, a  little red blazer and red mary janes….this fashion obsession was ingrained from an early age. Some habits just don’t die!
