| Elsa Schiaparelli Lobster Dress |
This iconic lobster dress was designed by Elsa Schiaperelli in 1937. The lobster was painted by Salvador Dali. I have a lobster dress I love that I wore Saturday night. It's J. Crew Collection from a few years ago. I even have lobster earrings.

They are no longer available, but here are some great lobster ideas for your summer wardrobe. Now I'm hungry for a lobster roll - there's a restaurant in Venice that has wonderful lobster rolls - both warm and cold styles. Can anyone pick me up - LOL?
Amanda Lindroth has now closed her online store as of last night - my home is filled with her Birkin baskets, wicker pagodas, island trays, cane wrapped hurricanes, and more. I love her style beyond words and cannot wait for her new venture and her new book Island Dreaming - the release date is October 15th.
Was wondering if perhaps in a past life we were related? 😉. This weekend is Swedish Midsummer and I will be serving lobster and strawberry cake. Don't have a lobster dress, but do have a lobster brooch and I'll wear that on a white dress. No mention of orthopedic surgeon. Hopefully you found someone? Will preorder Island Dreaming. By October I will have recovered from this beastly heat and can think balmy winds again. Here in the mountains we say "Stay Sweet" and I say hang in there Beth. I'm rooting for you.

How are you feeling today? Hope you're not in pain. I described to my husband what happened to you ("my blogging friend who formerly lived in Belle Haven but now lives in Venice, FL"), and I thought he might faint!
ReplyDeleteLOVED all the starfish & lobster stuff!
Take it easy. 💚
I'm happy to see you haven't lost your sense of humor, Beth. Not quite a lobster, but I have a pink skirt with orange prawns I bought from Rachel Antonoff a couple of seasons ago. It's a lot of fun to wear and I love it. It had a matching top, but the top was a midriff and I feel I'm past the age to be wearing a midriff. I once had a beaded cashmere sweater designed by Elsa Schiaparelli that my mother bought for me. I believe she was a contemporary of Coco Chanel, but more avant-garde.
ReplyDeleteI adore a good lobster roll!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I love my Chanel starfish earrings.
ReplyDeleteSaw a large wicker pagoda at my local Home Goods store last week and thought of you. Hope you heal soon; knee injuries are no fun.
ReplyDeleteBeth, I hope you have been able to get some relief from the pain caused by your broken kneecap! I’ve been thinking about you and wishing you a quick and easy recovery. Hang in there and enjoy your air condition!
