Chic and Eeek (part deux)

The other day, a casual acquaintance posed a snide question about my parents' tax bracket.

"Do they fall within the top two percent?" she demanded.

Excusez-moi?

I mumbled that I really didn't know, (which, of course, is nonsense).

What I should have said is, "I adore tricky questions! Speaking of which, how much do you weigh?"

Now I'm craving grace and civility. To that end, check out:

1. Audrey Tatou in a gorgeous short film for Chanel.
2. A breathtaking new shoe from J. Crew.


Voila! The perfect panacea.

Ooh, Annabel, you're getting cheeky! Love it! Meow!!
p.s. That woman totally deserves it. What a rude question!

Oh for heaven's sake...what some people will ask!

The shoes ARE breathtaking! My Lorelai might need a pair...

I know we don't need to be "sold" No 5 but that gorgeous little film worked a charm on me and at the end I sat back in my chair and thought "Need more No 5!" ... ha ha!
What a beautiful little film - Nicole Kidman never sold No 5 to me (and I'm an Australian - I'll have to be taken out back and whipped for speaking badly of her) but this film ... oh oh oh, just sublime.
Thank you for that lovely little escape.
