so beautiful and elegant
She has very beautiful eyes don't you think?
She's stunning; she already has a lot of presence in these pictures.
I only recently discovered I was born on her same day. She, Elsa Schiapparelli, Karl Lagerfeld and me share a birthday. Cool isn'it?...!
Also, take a look at my blog: I tagged you :-)
Wow, she is stunning and so talented! I love your "hall of dames" posts. Very clever my dear!
Yma is a new musical discovery for me, thank you so much for highlighting this deeply talented songstress!
Wishing you a marvelous Monday,
♥ Jessica
