Manolo’s Monday Miscellany

Manolo says, here are the few links which may perhaps amuse… Sometimes window shopping is- and should be- enough. As Mama Janey used to say, “How many purses can you carry at one time?” Whether you’re a literary fan or just want to look like a fashion snob in-the-know, the cape is fall’s it outerwear of choice.
