Style challenge - shoes

Thanks to dearest sammie, a fab and fun discussion on how to wear bright colored shoes ensued in the comment section of the previous post. Many fantastic suggestions were made on how to tie the look together by adding touches of green, whether by items of clothing, bracelets, scarves or necklaces. Thanks so much everyone for participating, and to sammie for the fun challenge!

There are some beautiful green pieces in the shops right now, but as I don't own any (yet), I borrowed some from Hermès and Gerard Darel for the style sheets below.

Skiing

This Year's skiing holiday has been a little bit volatile... during the first days, snow storms were raging outside, while we stayed inside, recovering from stomach flu.

Once we started to feel better,

the skies cleared up too, and we had some fantastic skiing.

This year I bought my first a helmet. A few years ago, hardly anyone was wearing them apart from the kids, but each year more and more people do. I love the attached visor on this one, and as a wonderful benefit, it keeps the head warm and protected from icy February winds.

Mont Blanc

With 'helmet hair' (actually, there is hardly any difference from my usual hair... it is so flat that it qualifies as helmet hair for most of the year!) and my beautiful 'Les Plaisir du Froid' 90 Carré in a close to the neck cowboy knot.

Les Plaisirs du Froid

This post comes so much later than I intended it to. Keeping up with orders, administration, organisation, requests and projects, and running everything smoothly (including my home), seems to take up more and more time, and always more than the days have. I am so incredibly sorry the blog has suffered a little bit lately as a result, and I miss participating in the fun of Le Salon. I hope you ladies keep the party going for the time being. I am working on improving my systems and hope it will result in saving time in the long run. In the meantime, I'll post as much and as frequently as I can, and wishing you all a wonderful start into spring xx
