narcisse featuring noa noa in the united states

deep winter collection

a new shipment has arrived in the shop and it is stunning.

the new arrivals from noa noa carry a theme of  winter extravagance and decadence.  delicate silks, glittery trim, soft wool, and as always a remarkable attention to detail. 

welcome to this feminine and elegant collection.

oh the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone.
they were waiting for me when i thought that i just can't go on.

 and they brought me their comfort

 and later they brought me their song. 

Oh I hope you run into them, you who've been travelling so long.

yes you who must leave everything that you cannot control.
it begins with your family, but soon it comes around to your soul.

 

 

(photo by man ray)
 well I've been where you're hanging, i think i can see how you're pinned:

 

 

(photo by man ray)
when you're not feeling holy, your loneliness says that you've sinned.

 

 

(photo by man ray)
 they lay down beside me, i made my confession to them.

 

 

(photo by man ray)

they touched both my eyes and i touched the dew on their hem.

 

 

(photo by man ray)

if your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn

they will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem.

 

 

(photo by man ray)
when i left they were sleeping, i hope you run into them soon.

 

 

(photo by man ray)
don't turn on the lights, you can read their address by the moon.

 

 

(photo by man ray)
and you won't make me jealous if i hear that they sweetened your night:

 

(photo by man ray)
we weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right,
we weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right.

introducing:

urban valentine

 
 

 

i am pretty much in love with all of these pieces.  heidi and i did snatch up two others for ourselves.  i think that out of the two weeks i've had it, there has only been two days that i haven't worn mine!  and-i want more.  this could become a problem.  there will be nothing left in the shop because i am going to be wearing 78 necklaces at one time.

here's one with our outfit of the whatever day it happens to be:

 
 
 
cotton dress: noa noa

cropped cardigan: noa noa

necklace: urban valentine
