But time, she is a fast old train

Though this may be a few days belated..

I thought it nonetheless never too late, to let someone very close to me know just how much she means to me on her most special of birthdays.

This is someone I have learned so very much from, whom I have grown so much with, and gathered so much about life alongside..

Someone whom I look to for endless inspiration..

Who I have seen the world with.

Who epitomizes timeless taste, grace and style.

Someone who I can't not think of when watching anything with Catherine Deneuve..

And who I am lucky to call one of my dearest, most beloved friends.

How much we have grown, learned and seen ma cherie...

I hope you know how very special and rare you are, and how much I cherish you. Looking forward to so many more fabulous years together..

And I very much hope you'll forgive me for the following... 

{Oh, how your dancing will always bring a smile to my face}

And for anyone that may not be lucky enough to know this wonderful person first hand,

you can visit her beautiful blog at any time 

{and I highly recommend her impeccably curated etsy shop too!}
