    1. Always loved black and blue too, my dearest Manuela! Only I’ve never tried such a vibrant blue before... merci Venice <3 The last picture was pure luck... I was about to take a picture of the bridge and ready to press the button, when the gondola swooshed past. Glad I got my finger clicking as fast as the gondolier was rowing! Enjoy a lovely weekend x

  2. Now, a thought came to my mind: you resemble some ancient gods who were able to breath life and spirit into all the things around them. So much like your playing with colours, as well as Kettlewell Colours goodies! Amazing how some items can be combined into beautiful ensembles and get a new life in its full swing!
    Love, Lea

    1. My dear Lea, you are so generous and kind. I am just happy when I succeed in capturing the spirit or atmosphere of a place, and grateful for the inspiration it brings to other aspects in my life. Hope you’ll enjoy the upcoming color play sheets too, and have a happy weekend ahead <3

  3. Beautiful looks all dear friend! I feel like we are on a return visit to Venice with these new pieces inspired by your recent journey there! You should do a packing segment for the Keetlewell website based on cities around the globe! I thought my eyes were deceiving me when I scrolled to the last pic,but no...you were! As Manuela said, ' Cool'! I will second that! Wishing you a super cool weekend ahead. T xx

    1. Oh, I would take the job in a heartbeat!You have the bestest ideas, my dear friend <3 We could all go together, each one exploring different corners of a place, and discuss our findings in the evenings, over a glass of bubbly. Wouldn’t this be super cool! Have a most wonderful weekend too xx

  4. In the second picture that you'd posted, I could've sworn that your black Birkin is a navy/other dark blue coloured Birkin! Isn't it funny how the blue from your tank top reflects on your Birkin!

    1. Just like the blue of the gondolas in the picture above is reflected by the canal!

    1. I think it is a little bit of all! But Venice has certainly spilled a spell ... A firework winter sounds fantastic, the best way to brighten up dull and grey days (hope we'll have some more summer until then) Have a wonderful week ahead!

  9. Smashing! As a fellow blonde, (who also wears tons of black) I always appreciate your eye for adding colour to a black palette!
    Yea for black and blue!

    1. I've always loved black and blue, but have gone for much tamer versions in the past. It is fun to try something different and the 'Gitane' color is great, especially for summer nights. Hope the hurricane behaved well and did not cause any damage. Stay safe and dry!
