Fashion Fridays: Thinking of Spring

Baby, it is cold outside.

But I think of Beautiful Spring.

My favorite go to place for deceptively simple but oh so chic clothes.

Well made

Comfortable

Stylish

Here is my Toast LBD as worn today at work.

Take a look at the Toast shops. 

Very much similar to how I style my shop.

Bodie and Fou

the shop and the blog

are two favorite destinations of mine.

I have long loved Clare Vivier's Messenger bag. 

Last time I checked I found they have come up with 

a golden tote

that is lovingly described on the site.

French language is so poetic! 

I love reading the Cote Sud editorials aloud,

just to give you a hint of how much I love French.

 That bag kind of reminded me of something,

a bag in my own closet

hmmm!

 A gift with purchase from Donna Karan, some years ago!

check-check

I am completely fashionable chères amies!

Fashion Fridays: Painted nails

Carefully 

Lovingly 

painted nails 

say 

"I care about me"

natural shell pinks are easy to wear and girly

pinks are summery, joyful, bold.

My French tutor used to wear this very shade. 

Her boyish fun meets femme fatale style shaped my 20s. 

{Thank You for everything}

These are so fun, so perfect for chic Wintertime

and they'd all match my basic wardrobe of beige and oyster. 

Though

Sometimes, 

one gets tempted to get bolder

and have even more fun

Like when my daughter painted her nails patriotic blue-red-and-white

Or

when Sarah Palin got into polka dots

Go Sarah, Go!

Fashion Fridays: The it-bags of "la rentrée"

I have a weakness for handbags.
Travel bags
Shoulder bags
Bucket bags.
I love them.
I believe they are portable works of art.
They are the shelter of my world
a portable world of
my favorite gris-gris
my book
my diary
etc
etc
etc
...
I don't purchase signature bags.
I think I stopped just before I got married and dressed up in my adult life
I'll show you one day
:)

Now,
that doesn't mean I am not interested in bags
oh!
my heart skips a little at a lovely little gem like this

It's all in the details
...

Chanel 4 ever

Cute baby blue

On craque pour le bamboo handle de Gucci

Classic with a rock twist

Hmm

I am more likely to carry something like this at work

Mom would approve of this Chloe number.
