OK, seriously...
...I got two more gift cards to add to the ones I got for my birthday last month--to my favorite local vintage MCM shop. I am rubbing my palms together in delight at what I might find to buy!
Also, I got a bag full of Lindt Lindor truffles from my darling son-in-law (possibly so that I will quit sneaking some from his stash).

Mark you are looking ...
Mark you are looking mighty sharp in those red Gucci's
and if you are like me you like eyeglasses, did not want to brag but i got 5 knock out pair made by Mark Dolabany. The glasses i got are the arnolds original reproductions and dead ringers of the tart arnels. I have many originals and these are so close you can't tell the difference.
his website is dolabanyeyewear.com

Chocolates!
I think I've become less 'wanting', if there's such a word, as I've gotten older. Either that or I'm too particular and those around me know it!
For me it is the ol' cliche off giving

Why thank you, LRF!
I actually have a couple of pair of Dolabany's (Stainless Arizona's, & Olive Cairo's). You have stellar taste.
Happy hour love to all!
