Cocktails & Vintage Rock Tales

I drink Champagne when i'm happy and when i'm sad.  Sometimes i drink when alone, when I have company  I consider it obligatory.  I trifle if I'm not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it -unless I'm thirsty!  as qouted by Madame Lily Bollinger

Vintage Jewels. Travel. Cocktails - a perfect mixture!

So which piece would you wear, where would you be and which cocktail would fit perfectly with your vintage piece.
