Sigh. The United Bamboo skirt that I was obsessed with has a sister, and she is the color of emeralds and has pockets. I am deeply in love. Would like to wear it with this Vena Cava faux fur, so ‘In the Mood For Love’ - smoky, rich jewel tones and unbelievable texture.
By the way, on the official ‘In the Mood For Love’ website, Wong Kar-Wai lists “Maggie’s Meals When She Eats Alone.”

There are so many things about this that I love. The fastidiousness and simplicity of how she eats; the beautiful orderliness of this list; the utter sensuality of food.
