Saturday night

Enjoying a quiet moment with a Sudoku puzzle on the kitchen terrace. While dinner is all ready and prepared, there is nothing left to do than waiting for everyone to join for drinks, and to look forward to a shared alfresco meal. It is such a relaxing and happy time of the day.

Wearing linen pants and a cotton tunic, a waterfall neclace in black/rosewood, Grand Apparat enamel bangle and a stole wrapped around the shoulders


Hope everyone enjoyed a lovely weekend x

    I love those "diners sur la terrasse" with family and friends. They are a synonym of summer time to me: sharing a happy moment with loved ones.
    Have a wonderful week ahead dear MT.

    You look wonderful even during your leisure time. I must frankly admit that I did not use to wear any jewellery in similar unwinding moments, but, thanking to a sort of magic, I got used to wearing a MT horn bracelet in my free time - it was a gift of a friend of mine who knew I never wore any bracelets, particularly not when home. The bracelet is so light and I do not even notice it is on my hand after a while. It was a good choice for your collection, congrats! Gorgeous, upmarket piece and practical to use it at the same time. Lilian

    You look lovely!

    I'm a fellow Sudoku lover, and I suppose I go through about 20 books a year.

    Gosh - I can only wish to look this chic, when lounging at home. Oh wait, maybe I should just try harder (but not look like I tried at all, of course ;-). Hope, you had a lovely weekend, xox, Macs

    Hello Mai Tai - I recently discovered your blog while searching the internet for travel capsule wardrobe ideas for an upcoming trip to Italy. I was completely captivated by the wealth of information and wonderful style ideas and have spent hours reading every post and watching your scarf videos. I have many scarves but never knew what to do with them. Since finding your blog - I've been wearing a different scarf - and tying a different knot - every day - and looking very chic! Can't wait to see your latest tip sheets from NYC! Thank you. Thank you.
