Pass the paprika...

"Vulgarity is a very important ingredient in life. I'm a great believer in vulgarity--if it's got vitality. A little bad taste is like a nice splash of paprika. We all need a splash of bad taste—it’s hearty, it’s healthy, it’s physical. I think we could use more of it. No taste is what I’m against.” -Diana Vreeland

Sometimes I miss the days when I used to wear BIG earrings. The bigger, the louder, the closer they were to my shoulders the better. So it’s only natural that my eyes were totally down to these whoppers that were a major feature at the SS23 at the Giambattista Valli show.

Of the collection, Valli said “I want to give colors with smell, taste, and textures, and inspire feeling in the draping, the lightness, and the billowing. You want to wear them, you want to smell them…you almost want to eat them.”

There were also the sweetest jewel encrusted little sandals on show.

Sometimes it’s the shiny things that mean the most
