(Much to the chagrin to my poor mother who spoke and wrote fluent French), but this was amazing! I will watch again later, but I did enjoy. Thank you for posting and to your other reader who also posted it initially.

(For what it's worth, one of my college tutors told me that in Galliano-era Dior, all the students he knew who'd done that DID actually end up getting jobs there....)Katehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/22939041@N03/sets/72157630408903800/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-5439909101358698002013-05-01T07:52:23.251-07:002013-05-01T07:52:23.251-07:00Hey thanks for the shout out!

The new queen's (Màxima) royal blue and aubergine dresses are amazing in their embroidery, which was apparently done in Paris at Lesage. I kept wanting the blue cape to come off so that I could see more. The aubergine was also covered up due to the cold. I'm sure if you search the net, you'll get an idea. I don't blog, you see, but most papers have photos.Moniquenoreply@blogger.com
