Touch of Turquoise

Bonjour!

Leading up to Summer, I'm always in the mood for a burst of color.


(RM by Roland Mouret, Moschino Cheap and Chic & Rebecca Taylor)

Yellow or Turquoise are the embodiment of Summer!
I just loooooooove Turquoise jewelry.

Though I wouldn't mind a dash of Turquoise in my home either.
Perhaps I should paint my chests Turquoise ...




Worth thinking about!

Cordially,

Vintage Beauty

I adore vintage beauty items! Over the years, I’ve collected a variety of vintage goodies like YSL brushes, old Chanel lipsticks, porcelain beauty trays …


I love the faded gold color most vintage make-up items have.


My grandmother gave me this velvet Yves Saint Laurent pouch a few weeks ago.
I’m so in love with it! Do you have any vintage beauty items?

Dining in Gold

Who dines in gold nowadays? I must admit, I haven't got a single gold tableware item, but I'm loving it more every day. It just looks so festive and as if warmth is radiating through your dining room.

Words For The Soul

Nautical Navy

I am so excited that nautical
is this summer's trend.

I've always adored things nautical.
Navy & white stripes are the epidemy of nautical.


Chanel Cruise 2010

Cruise & Resort collections are packed with navy & white stripes ...



Thread Social, Paul & Joe Sister, Chloé & Vivienne Westwood Anglomania

We all go casual from time to time ...

Lanvin & Chloé

And to think, were it not for a certain Miss Coco Chanel,
we might have never worn them!



Merci Coco!
