Charmed Life

Little talismans on the kitchen windowsill tell your story. Individually, a memory. Together, an artistic collage. Like your Jane’s Vanity lingerie collection. Indeed, what were you wearing the day you acquired each of these lucky charms? We reminisce, left to right:

 

First, a sand dollar decorated with barnacles so tiny that they could be French knots sewn by mermaids. That was the day you wore your new creation from Karolina Laskowska, the Ephrya High Neck Lingerie Set, appropriately seaworthy in seafoam lace scattered with blue sequins.    

Next sits a three-inch china cowboy boot that was a birthday gift. Someone special understood you. As does Aromatique, who dressed you that day in its cotton and Lace Camisole Set. You wore it all day to show off its sheer lace back with halter neckline, keyhole opening, and bow tie closure. Boots optional.

Then there is the jade hedgehog-like agate the size of a bird's egg. She seems to be talking to the cowboy boot. Possibly asking “What’s your sign?” Remember the handsome cowboy to whom you asked that same question the day you wore the Kumo Green Edo Dress in shimmering silk from Karma on the Rocks?

The teeny weenie Pretty Pony in rainbow colors speaks of friendship. And you celebrated the sentiment the day you wore Karolina Laskowska’s Danainae Lingerie Set in lightest pink Chantilly lace with rosettes of orange and flamingo.

Further along is your favorite vase, a clear blue mini-bottle of tequila, just the right size for a rosebud. Say “Salud,” in your party-ready Petunia Floral Wide Legged Pant from D2Line of rich aubergine purple with its mural of flowers at the bottom.

Beside the bottle are two pint-size whales. They are your personal symbol. They inspire you every day, wild and free, living large! Could be the mantra for your latest JV treasure, the Lanvin Ombre Silk Robe from Merle Noir. Its color is like the sea, moving from deepest black to vibrant teal blue. 

And now an orange-clad Ganesh, the elephant-headed Hindu deity of beginnings, remover of obstacles. You talk to him, wearing your own brightly colored Isa Tama Coral Silk Pajamas from Karma that blend a pattern of clouds, suns, foliage and geometrics in shades of red, teal, and blue. 

Pretty champagne corks are stacking up in the right corner. Why champagne? Because champagne! Memories abound. We leave you to them, dressed in your goddess-like Thalia Silk Gown from Temperley London.

Here’s “Cheers” to your windowsill friends. And to you, Jane’s Vanity, our lucky charm.
