In the area we live, Plane and Mulberry trees cling on forever to
their foliage, and if it wasn't for the calendar, it would be hard to
believe that December and Christmas are just around the corner.
I'm glad to have already made the Christmas pudding and prepared DS' Advent calender,
but as for shopping, I am still very much behind. Looking forward to
the weekend though, and the start of decorating the house and outside.
Today I've been wearing the same outfit as a couple of weeks ago in Paris, when meeting with the girls

Capsule pieces: black jeans and turtleneck sweater
Accessories:
Hermès 'Ex-Libris' cashmere shawl, 'Kelly Dog' bracelet and Birkin in black
Scarf
tying method: Basic bias fold

black Jumping boots
The leaves of the chestnut tree are always the first to go.. goodbye autumn!

No wonder, people are "starstruck", when they see you IRL - even in the chic streets of Paris you simply stand out! :-) xox, Macs
ReplyDeleteAww my dear Macs, the lovely J and P are immensely generous and kind souls, and have therefor tremendously exaggerated;-) So happy you like the look though, and wishing you a great rest of the week xx
Deleteyeah, right - exaggerated. Thehe! From what I know of both of them (and that's at least a bit ;-) they're very kind but also honestly simply speak their mind. Period! Taking it from there and looking forward to also be able to stroll along the streets of Paris with you by my side one day - sending hugs, me
Deleteok, you win, my dear Macs! Would not want to taint the reputations of those two lovely ladies ;-)) Looking forward to that stroll too! x
DeleteJe veux tout de votre tenue si belle en noir
ReplyDeleteVous etiez magnifque au palais royal
Je vous souhaite une belle fin de semaine en esperant que le mistral se came un peu
Amitiées
MYRIAM
Chère Myriam, on est d'accord.. si on peut avoir juste un seule couleur, c'est devoir être noir! Le mistral s'est déjà calmé, et il a nous apporté un beau ciel bleu. Amitiés
DeleteOh, dear, those first two pictures almost made me call Air France and book an immediate return flight.
ReplyDeleteNo need to thank me for the photo, though, my dear. You see, my little camera always does a great job when it has a stunning subject to photograph.
A big hug to you, my beauty,
J.
(P.S. Sending sweet and lovely Macs a big hug, too.)
Wish you would give AF a ring! Miss you, and your camera is a diamond (just like you) Hugs right back xx

If you allow me, I would like to give you all compliments for your collection as well - it grew up with time and now it is truly a nice, stylish, rounded up collection where anyone can recognize style and attention to details (with the best possible model to show us all its beauty). All congratulations for its uniqueness and beauty. I like your outstanding style, beautiful collection, you are helping me very much to edit my own style. Thanks for it. Lea
