A Heart in the Right Place

Sometimes heart motifs are really naff. Other times they are on just the right side of kitsch as to be excellent, such as in this sparkling vintage rhinestone brooch.

Anything that sparkles and is also amusing is fabulous in my book. It’s amusing to me because it is so overtly feminine, but at 5cm across, it’s not at all bashful about it!

I’ll wear this heart on my soft black angora beret next winter, where it will make a striking statement. But to really up the ante, I may wear it right away on my sleeve!
