Skiing - part I

Every year the skiing holiday is a different experience. If snowstorms and blizzards are raging, much time is spent reading or playing games by a cosy fire. This year though, the skies were blue and the snow fantastic,  so it was very active, with much time spent on the pistes!

We were so lucky that the snowfall came mostly in the evenings and at night

The next morning we usually woke up to blue skies, great snow and a village which looked like it had been decorated with wedding cake icing

Nothing better to start the day than a buttery croissant and a grand café crème

A little café beckons with a beautiful view...

but DS encourages us with great enthusiasm to go straight past...

Wardrobe pieces: black roll neck sweater and ski suit

Accessories: Hermès 'C'est la fête' 70 carré, Clic H enamel bracelet in black

Shoes: ski boots

Scarf tying method: Cowbow knot, ends tied with a Moyenne Classique MaiTai Collection scarf ring in the basic slide (you can make a double knot instead)

The night's snowfall is cleared to get the terrace ready for lunch

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

xx

Good things sometimes take a while... while the spring/summer scarves already dominate the scarf counters, it was a shawl from the Autumn/Winter 2013 collection that stole my heart last week. The 'L'instruction du Roy's' elegance and structured opulance remind me so much of Paris, and it's beautiful colors (taupe, greys and browns, mixed with ecru, rust, black and sunflower yellow) made it an instant 'coup de coeur'
