I will be home for the holidays and volunteered to organize our Christmas party. There are over 40 family members that come, and everyone contributes to the program, so when October rolled around ... I had to begin the planning stage.
In France, it really is a crime to even mention Christmas before All Soul's Day, but since I am putting together a party outside of France ... I jumped on ahead.
Just by chance, last week ... I announced the party theme to be: A Vintage Carousel and colors in Jewel Tones. Only because my son loves vintage carousels and I take him for a ride almost everyday, since there's one in almost every village in France. By coincidence, the latest Paris Fashion Week images have been released and ... we happen to be on trend.
The Louis Vuitton Spring / Summer 2012 show had a white carousel.


Then fashion darling Haider Ackermann, who might replace Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel after he retires, chose a jewel tone theme for his Spring / Summer 2012 collection:


The fashion lovers in my family will be thrilled.
