I love to watch her. The jewelry is too much for me, but I love her purses. I didn't buy any clothes, but there were some nice pieces. 

I woukd love to hear some of her tales. She's lead an interesting life.

The macrame jacket looks nice but it's not practical it's just fun to wear once in awhile.

It's a poly/spandex and those knots will stretch out.  I had a side business years ago making macrame purses, hanging planters, skirts (yes, make quite a few), hats and just plain wall hangings.  The purse straps stretched out, the cords with the hanging planters also stretched out, it's just the nature of macrame, the weight pulls everything down.

@Just Bling: Actually, your comments were very helpful to me. This morning I cancelled the macrame jacket; easy to do because it was on advanced order. Love the look, but I now remember macrame; in a soft suede, it will stretch. Thanks!

@Andreatoo @Reba055 @lulu2 @gacat123 & Iris-lovers:

I adore her necklaces, wear them in all sorts of combinations. Longed for a jacket/coat/topper.

So, feeling her last show was amazing and these things may disappear, I ordered, and just received these UTTERLY FABULOUS items:

Love the owl on the back! Pockets! Incredible crafting. Got it in the neutral color though, love the way it's styled on her page, below:

Even loved the yellow knit duster underneath, so ordered that, as well!

This velvet jacket (also with embedded owls all over and in the lining) was the ultimate! PLUS ON CLEARANCE! Got the aqua.

And one more necklace:

*happy dance*

{Today, purging out my closet for items I used to love but never wear. Things that do not bring me joy. Iris Apfel does bring me joy.}

Any other Iris Apfel fans?

This 95-year-old designer inspires me. Her fashion (love the coats) and jewelry (piles of colorful necklaces) are my favorites! She'll be on HSN February 14-15. A treasure.

Love to hear about your collection or pieces, if you've fallen in love, as well.

@Chi-town girl: Thanks SO much! I hate to miss her shows. Plus adore her witticisms. Wish she lived across the street . . .
