Roman Holiday

The Olivia doll has been sent off to her rightful owner in California, but before she went in the mailbox I couldn't resist taking a few more photos. I think it's those curls - they are so scrumptious. These scenes were inspired by the real-life Olivia's Italian tour a few years back.

Here she awaits her date (Skip, naturally), passing the time with a glass of Prosecco (a signature Olivia refreshment).

That little blob on the dress is a cluster of beads and sequins meant to be a corsage or brooch. I love this yellow silk dress - like lemon custard.

Here she is with the other man in her life, Gary, whiling away the afternoon at a Tuscan villa.


Ah, la dolce vita.
