you are welcome, and you absolutely shouldnt miss the exhibit craig

also atempt to visit Schiaparelli's exhibit if you just take the eurostar for a two day visit i think you will adore her surrealistic take on accessories and its so different when one sees those masterpieces 'live'

I must make time to see it, and with my new job I may just get a chance!!

I bought a book 'The Couture Accessory' and it features some amazing Schiaparelli designs, a great reference book.
