It’s taken me time to fall for London.
It feels like home… as much as France… and as hard as I find that to believe… it’s true… London is that kind of city and despite the frequent grey London has a particular and unique beauty of it’s own.
London is not Paris and it’s not Provence… London is London… and now that I have embraced that, we get on well together.
I’m in London for the next few weeks and I want to show you the city… There is an atmosphere building… the excitement of the holidays… and there is no other city I know who dresses up with quite so much endeavour…
London wears festivity like an elegant woman… perfectly attired, impeccably groomed and with just the right amount of excitement and enthusiasm.
The temperatures have dropped dramatically in London…
How to dress up when it’s freezing on the outside and toasty on the inside?
I wanted to venture out this weekend in a new party dress… but that proved impossible… Have you tried to find anything to wear for the holidays that isn’t too bare, too short or too expensive? It’s a challenge.
Instead I will be re-accessorising my Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress… with lace booties, sparkle earrings and a full length parka… I saw this look often in Paris… sleek and elegant with a touch of the utilitarian…
Lux meets street and ends up chic…
cire trudon / dvf wrap / jimmy choos / stubbs & wootten / yves salomon / erickson beamon
in the same mood
joel parka / river island parka / vince booties / prada laser cut / ted baker
It’s the weekend… have a fabulous one… xv
P.S
To bring the holiday mood inside and for extra cosiness, I am burning this new limited edition candle from Cire Trudon… heavenly…
