Now About The Boots

I do love the boots.

The boots, with the extravagance of the skirt
and the tailoring of the jacket and tie is fabulous.

Let’s Start With The Skirt

The black midi is where I am headed.

Take your pick.
Bias cut, a frothy tulle, a pleated twirl
or a gathered splash.

It seems to me skirts are back in a strong position.

Let’s be happy.

WeekendWardrobe: Knit One Purl One

I do love a sweater; pretty much all sweaters.

Today I’m in the mood for the cosy, the slightly roomy
and not too serious.

It’s the weekend and I want something to snuggle up in.

I’m in France, in Saint Rémy de Provence,
the wind is howling and it is the kind of day where I think of sweaters.

Venturing far is not my plan – I want to stay in and enjoy La Maison because it is far too long
since I have been here.

I never keep things to myself.

I am not that woman who pretends she forgets where she found something or has lost the number of a great hairdresser; If you like something of mine and I can help, for me, it is the highest compliment.

My latest fab find.

The Finishing Touch: Ready, Set And Puff

There is a finishing touch I can’t do without.

Can you guess? It’s powder.

Powder in the most part is essential but finding the right one can be downright hazardous.
