This Sunday marks the advent of the Chinese New Year. 2013 is the year of the snake. Here, we have collected the fruits of our serpentine inspiration for the New Year.
Today marks the advent of the Chinese New Year. 2013 is the year of the snake. People born in the Year of the Snake are intuitive, introspective and graceful. They are exciting and dark at the same time. Frequently contemplative and private, the Snake is not outwardly emotional but she is willing to go to great lengths to get what she wants.
All of these serpentine allusions are slithering their way into our imaginations in the form of delightful, exotic luxuries; reptilian purses, snakeskin sky high heels, bejwelled bracelets and cuffs.
