Chocolate & Tortoiseshell

Tortoiseshell Clutch

 
I cannot stand beige and tan in my home or wardrobe. When I moved into my gated community, there was a required color book for painting the exterior of your home and the entire palettte was various shades of beiges and tans. I got the entire color book thrown out and now you can use whites and creams and grays and blues and such. The woman responsible for the old colors then died of a heart attack. I hope there was no connection.

Ginger Jars & Mahjong

Coquette Blue Bow Chinoiserie Cheetah Mahjong Mat

 
This mahjong mat arrived yesterday and I love it. I have seen "designer" mahjong mats lately for as much as $200! This one arrived in one day, rolled and beautifully boxed in a long tall box and no creases. And it is under $30.

I just got this blue and white toile dress and wore it out to dinner. It has a bit of a chinoiserie vibe.
