Ariel: Have you ever seen anything so beautiful in your entire life?
Flounder: Wow, but umm what is it?
Flounder: Wow, but umm what is it?
Ariel: I don't know
Scuttle: It's a dinglehopper!

(excerpt from Walt Disney's The Little Mermaid)
Who said that money cannot buy happiness doesn't know where to shop.
Some styles are timeless; some colours become legendary.
Nothing sings pretty like a lil' something from the trademark blue box.
But nothing excites me more than a thoughtful gift that captures the pulse of my personal and professional life.
Mr Robin Egg Blue is a passport holder
(Although The Little mermaid and her silly little friends wouldn't know what it is)
And the prettiest one I've ever seen.
Besides what better way to brighten the day of overworked immigration officers at airports
than a dash of colour and a bit of stylish inspiration from NY's Fifth Avenue.

that is not blue. that is robin blue. yucks.
Well whatever it is, it certainly looks better than the green on your face, which doesn't look good on you.
that is most presumptious of you, madame, considering that you have never seen my face green. those that have had rather nice comments.
that, is so funny. haha!
gorgeous piece babe, and you're looking good as usual.
catch up for coffee soon, or drinks, or lunch or dinner or tea or something ya!
Yes Wendy, let's do so soon, before we fit in another drunken episode in a foreign land
Actually,
If you will permit your Aunty Ah to speak her mind, my dear:
The jealous girl is right (unintentionally and for entirely the wrong reasons, but she is technically correct). Blue is not the color of good taste. It is the color of the shopping bag or box in which good taste is wrapped. The true color of Tiffany is a blinding diamond white (or at the very least, the warm reassuring glow of 24K gold). Take it from an older woman who has felt the rush and the flush that comes from opening those wonderful blue boxes in the flower of her youth.
The Tiffany line of of blue colored accessories is aimed at the have-nots with their noses pressed up against the windows. They know they will never posess or experience the thrill of discovering the contents of a blue package so they settle for something that mimics the package. For them and their plebian social set, it is enough to impress.
You should aim higher darling. Even if the 145$ passport cover is enough to make your current set green with envy, You deserve more than something that resembles the bits of a Tiffany gift that get thrown in the garbage and costs more than two pieces of raw fish at Nobu(I really feel you do, judging not only from your looks but also your words). In my world, my dear, you would be a big earner.
If you got this as a "gift" from a man, you´ve sold yourself very very short darling...and to a cheap fellow as well. Throw him and the blue bauble away and aim for a man with taste and means - one who would spring for Hermes long wallet or a Flight Envelope at least. Something that might not draw an instant "ooh" of recognition from your current crowd but would definitely elicit an approving half-smile from Anna Wintour.
But what would make your Aunty Ah even happier would be if you were in a position to get your own Maroquinerie custom fashioned at Goyard´s Paris studio.
For someone with your looks and (apparent) brains, it´s quite possible dear, just ask me how....
Aunty Ah Toy
