I finally caught up with my magazine reading last weekend. (Other days, I am, just like you, absorbed in the CNN/Channel News Asia reports on the current situations in Mumbai and Bangkok.)
In every fashion mag, you are guaranteed an article on dressing for less, or investment pieces that can last through the seasons, and through such belt-tightening and sombre times.
I say, let’s escape for a while. Let’s retrogress, back to times of fewer complexities.
Dior’s Fine Jewellery Diorette collection conjures up pretty, pretty florals you would find in a summer garden, that wouldn’t be out of place in an Enid Blyton story. Splashes of antique-y colours such as coral, emerald, azure are lacquered on indulgently fanciful designs of daisies, bees, butterflies, and lady birds.

That’s your 3 minutes of intermission. Back to reality.
