Semi-solid Smorgasbord, and new colourway: Tortuga

Just what the title says. One new cashmere colourway:

Tortuga:





... and a palette of rich new semi-solids in cashmere to use alone or coordinate with everything!





The List of Colourways will be updated with these in the next couple of days, so keep an eye out!

Saturday was blustery cold in Manhattan as Broadway turned into a veritable wind tunnel. Without Veronika and the matching scarf, I'd have frozen completely on the way to Cafe Luxembourg where I met with my oldest and dearest friend Violet. From there it was a quick jaunt to join another friend Anne to see the final performance of Aida, which is possibly one of my top three favourite productions ever. Who can possibly shake a stick at the amazing orchestra, elegantly decadent stage design, and live horses (elephants, too, which there were the last time I saw it) traipsing casually by the edge of the stage? Marvelous. *sigh* Well, now back to reality.

It's a manic Monday here, but I'll leave you with one of my favourite things about the Met: the retractable chandeliers. They look like shimmery mini-models of The Big Bang.
