“Very French” what my husband, Jacques called this elegant silk dress, which he wanted to get for me but it was too small in the chest. That was when Christabelle had it listed for fifty dollars. And, now, this unusual dress has just been reduced to 35 USD!
Silk, floral, lined, and beaded at the deep v- neck, this size 10 US dress by Alberto Makali is beautiful, available at my friend Christabelle’s Closet, the famous on-line consignment shop in NYC.

“Bright green-gold color and aromas of apple, spices, flowers and nuts. Crisp, bright and dry with medium-full body. Intense ginger and apple flavors with nutty and floral nuances. Clean, lemony finish that is quite dry. A pleasure with chicken salad, scampi, filet of sole, brie and fruit desserts. Serve as an aperitif, too.”

Robert Clergerie Patent Leather Pumps, Made in France: Simple, Elegant Shoes for Evening, Cocktails or Teatime
It’s difficult to find classic, real shoes these days. When I speak of elegant dressing, I often mention closed-toe shoes, which used to be the norm. Sure, peep-toes and strappy high-heeled sandals are all the rage, but I don’t write about trends, except to disparage them and their lack of longevity. Exposing one’s toes and tottering about on stilts are never elegant. This pair of shoes almost represents my ideal for evening. Alas, they are a half-size too small for me. Advice to people approaching middle-age: buy your shoes a half-size larger than necessary, because your feet are about to grow a half-inch (once upon a time, these shoes would have fit me).

My Aunt Gail made this for me in Orange County, California, when I was twenty-one. The year was 1976. I’ve never forgotten that lovely, gracious woman or this delicious, pink drink:
Frozen pink lemonade concentrate
Ice
Grenadine Syrup
Vodka
Using these ingredients, and a blender, mix to your own taste.
