With mail order, I still save VAT. Not a guarantee but Bompard items come to my home somehow without import duties... think it's because they use a padded mailer. Also easier to deal with returns/exchanges by mail.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-44233558466415974912009-09-15T10:46:32.814-04:002009-09-15T10:46:32.814-04:00I LOVE the jeweled henly and the shirt!!!!

I'd be tempted into bankruptcy by Bompard if the current palette weren't so very wrong for me. (What happened to "autumn colors"? They're completely missing in action this year; it's all fuchsias and magentas and cornflower blues.) Instead, I'll content myself with revisiting the old cashmere sweaters in my closet.Fritinancyhttp://nancyfriedman.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-53603923957208219202009-09-03T11:23:55.352-04:002009-09-03T11:23:55.352-04:00metscan: Ohhh, a dress and sweater, a nest!

Just the other day I splurged ( yes ) on a simple cashmere dress with long sleeves, a bit of a tulip shape and a cardigan to go with it ( not as long as the dress ). Both have pockets and can be worn together or by their own. I think, that once you have worn cashmere, there is no going back to wool. Or does this age of ours make us super sensitive? I´d go for the ballerina knit you have in one of your pics.
