Sparkling spring

This year, spring has begun with a sparkle, and not just because of the crystal blue sky we've had this week. 

There is no lovelier way to say goodbye to winter than to be outside and soak up spring's first warm rays of sunshine, whether for a walk or a cup of coffee with a little something.

The earrings and bracelet are made by hand from facetted crystal beads and stainless steel twisted wire. They add an instant glamorous touch to a casual daytime outfit, or turn a simple wardrobe piece into a sparkling evening look. For summer lunches or evenings, wear with a simple tunic, light shirt or dress.

I couldn't be happier with the Cos top I bought in Paris earlier this year.. despite many outtings, it still looks like new (amazingly enough, it is still available online on Cos' US site and French site)

Have a most wonderful and happy spring and Easter everyone xx

Early spring - Capsule wardrobe # 165

The first signs of spring here in the South of France are always yellow.. in February the Mimosa trees start to blossom, followed by Daffodils and later Dandelions in the fields and between the vines.

As the weeks go by, the yellows gets warmer and richer in tone, which inevitably makes me  reach for my sunflower yellow La Presentation de Chevaux.

Capsule pieces: checked wool trousers and beige sweater

Accessories: Hermes La Presentation de Chevaux 90 carré, 'Grand Apparat' enamel bracelet, 'Karla' bracelet in caramel epsom and Kelly32 in ebene. 

Shoes: patent flats (Ballerine U by Roger Vivier in sunflower yellow)

Scarf tying method: Pleated rectangular fold (click here for a how-to). I pleated the scarf very loosely for a soft and billowing effect.
