These Boots Are Made For Walking

I love...

...le tricolore. I just love French national flag. It is symbolic, it provokes certain images, it has vertical stripes! My favourite colours are blue, cream and burgundy, that is, variations of bleu, blanc, rouge. Look, isn't it just sublime?



...coffee. All shapes and tastes. I'm not very keen on take-away coffee (I love walking with a coffee cup in hand, it's just that the coffee might not be of high quality). My greatest addiction is coffee with chocolate and mint.



...Jarvis Cocker speaking French. Haha, it's superb. When there are my two great passions - Jarvis Cocker and the French language - brought together, I just lay back and enjoy the moment!

Autumnal Mood ('I love Paris in the Rain')

Such a beautifully surprising day it's been today! In the morning it rained awfully, it was a complete déluge! The sky stayed darkish and gray till the afternoon; then the things changed dramatically (much to my delight). The day is always ok as long as it's full of coffee and sunlight. Alors, later on we got to the nearby park to take photos among the sublimely golden fallen leaves and the smooth light (it was luck to find such surroundings). The photos are, of course, amateurish (they are made by the young man on the 4th photo), but you don't have to be a professional to see how beautiful autumn is.
P.S. The line 'I love Paris in the Rain' is from a song called 'Ne Me Quitte Pas' by Regina Spektor. I kept singing it to myself all day long.

Happy Birthday, Jarvis!

Today, the 19th of September, a great artist was born. Jarvis Cocker, a brilliant songwriter and former Pulp frontman, turns 47 this day. Best wishes, Jarv! I hope a birthday cake and a bottle of wine are already waiting for you. Have a good day (and night)!

Enfant Terrible

I am so fond of the blue denim shorts + black tights combination that as soon as I got the appropriate shorts, I simply couldn't resist the temptation. Here on the photo is that crazy outfit I was wearing today (quite a shock to my mum). I was not that bad, after all (only too ... eclectic?). It's just that as soon as I got home I made a ve-e-ery serious decision. Basic things. There is a call for sophistication! Pale pastel colours or deep and vibrant ones (I adore deep blue and burgundy). And grey! So I thought: 'A bit more moderation, mademoiselle' and headed for elegant and simple vêtement.
Here is my latest inspiration in terms of a sophisticated outfit:



And another CBW look which I like so much for its simplicity.

J'adore CBW

CBW is Camille Bidault-Waddington, the greatest stylist ever. I think she is adorable. Her style is unique. So spontaneous, free, and strange. Her own wardrobe looks a bit like 70's toujours, but it is en fait more complicated. I like the way she describes her personal style: "I used to be more eclectic, but now I'm too old. I liked to dress like a spinster, with an A-line skirt and a little shirt. Now I just look like a spinster, so that doesn't work. I am a typical French girl, I guess - feminine clothes and messy hair. I used to think I wasn't very French; then I moved to London".



A very Jarvis-like look:

Bonne matinée!

Sunday in My Garden

This week I spent the whole weekend in my garden. I love autumn. It gets a bit cold and rainy in September, but the trees are still green and the river is fascinatingly gray. And the rowan tree is awesome. Its berries turned deep orange,and it means it's time to head for some warm clothes and a cup of hot chocolate.

My Birds

Among the diversity of animal jewellery birds are my choice. I simply adore them. I even have a small collection of accessories birds.



Swallows are sublimely beautiful. This necklace is a particular favourite of mine.



Bird in a cage is always cool. I fell in love with this necklace the very moment I saw it in the shop. It's fun to wear it.



The little wooden owl is a present. A friend of mine brought it to me from Spain.

À bientôt!
