.These were my birthday present from Strath this year. (!) I'm keeping them, of course, because that's just what a girl does when her number one dun presents her with something incredible that she'd never dare buy for herself.

But because I don't spend a lot of time hanging around the Tuileries or the tents at Bryant Park, and because unfortunately these won't fly in the library, I now require an excuse to wear them.

I'm thinking that no excuse is as good as any, yes?
