Although it hasn't been that long since we came back, putting together this final part of our adventure in the Alps already feels like it has been, maybe because we returned to a warm and sunny southern France, where blossoming apricot, cherry and almond trees, along with wild flowers in the fields, were greeting spring.
Breathtaking views on top of the glacier
DS's preferred breakfast...maybe this is where he got all the energy from!
And then, of course, LUNCH
Such a pretty curtain, would be perfect for Christmas!
I was happy to see that the 'salade de rougets' was still on the menu
Wardrobe pieces: black rollneck sweater and ski suit
Accessories: Hermès 'Brazil' Maxi Twilly and Clic H enamel bracelet in black
Shoes: ski boots ;-)
In the meantime back home in the south, Mimosa trees are in full bloom and little green leaves shoot up everywhere...
Have a wonderful weekend and early spring everyone xx

DeleteBeautiful place and you are stunning . Was it in Megève? It looks like.
ReplyDeleteClaire
I've never been to Megève, but am tempted to go one year.. it must be very similar to where we've been (someone else asked me the same question)!
DeleteGorgeous photos MaiTai and I can almost smell the breakfast cooking! Your Maxi Twilly could almost pass as a carre tied in that fashion, very chic!
ReplyDeleteBrian
The breakfast was excellent! And so true re the Maxi Twilly.
DeleteDear MaiTai,
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful photos, especially the one of your mimosa tree. The color is gorgeous and makes me yearn for spring to pop in the U.S. We are suppose to get a wintery mix for the next couple of days. :-(
I love the way you tied your Maxi Twilly, you look so chic on the slopes!
Have a great week ahead.
Simone xx
The color and smell of Mimosa tree blossoms are truly marking the beginning of spring. Hope your wintery spell will make place for some mild and sunny days soon, and have a fabulous week ahead too xx
DeleteToujours magnifique en toutes circonstance !

DeleteOh Mai Tai, what wonderful trip, it's ages since I've been skiing, tho shaw made me so wistful.

Deleteyou look gorgeous and make me want a maxi twilly x
ReplyDeleteMaxi Twillys are such great fun, hope one will find it’s way into your collection soon!
DeleteOh this beautiful mimosa. Even here trees begin to flower, spring comes very early this year but I like it.
ReplyDeleteYou are very pretty dear MT in black for skiing. When aren't you pretty? Never.

This is the earliest spring I can remember, and so much appreciated after the wet European winter we’ve all had! Re your question, your answer is so sweet (but of course not true!). Amitiés
DeleteBeautiful pictures, dearest MaiTai! A breathtaking view indeed, but wasn´t it great to come home to Spring and see the mimosa trees in full bloom?
ReplyDeleteI hope we soon get higher temperatures here too. Spring hugs to you, Manuela xx
I know where all the mimosa trees are in our area, and always make sure not to miss their bloom. Hope warm temperatures have reached the North! Hugs xx
DeleteHello Mai Tai
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are very beautiful, as always, I'am fond of your blog and I think to you every day when I have to choose my scarf. I Wear the scarf ring every day too.
Your holidays were magnificent, my family and I have chosen to go the see and the weather was nice too.
Bises
Anne Marie
Dear Anne Marie, it is so lovely to know you enjoy the scarf ring. Spring is the best time to go to the sea… on a lovely day, it feels like summer. Bises
DeleteToujours de magnifiques photos et un bon exemple pour porter maxi twilly plus court je vais tester car plus pratique pour tous les jours! En Alsace nos arbres fruitiers sont également tous en fleurs avec ce temps superbe et c'est magnifique!Amitiés.Véronique
ReplyDeleteMerci, chère Véronique! J'ai porté le Maxi Twilly beaucoup dans cette façon l'hiver passé… avec les trois tours de cou, il m’a tenu bien chaud ! J’espère le beau temps va durer, passer un doux printemps!
DeleteThe skiing photos are gorgeous, of course, but that brilliant blue sky and the bright yellow Mimosa tree right in your backyard makes me want to come for a visit immediately.
ReplyDeleteP.S. My flight arrives at CDG on Friday. I'll be on the 4 p.m. train!
Jerrine
The Mimosa tree is not in my backyard, but after picking you up from the train station, I'll take you straight to it!
DeleteBonjour Mai Tai, was in Paris the same time you were on your ski trip, so I thought I would check out the Village Royal? Lovely, I can honestly say I did not add to the decor like yourself, but I enjoyed it anyway. I loved the picture of the snowy evening from your trip, it was breathtaking, I could go on a skiing trip, however I have trouble walking sometimes! LOL, plus its much safer for everyone else! Living vicariously through you as always Mai Tai, much love Susan.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds that you had a most wonderful time in Paris, dearest Susan! The Village Royal is such a tranquil spot for a lunch or drink after a visit to FSH. If you want to try something different next time, you could go further down the road, to the Hotel Costes. The courtyard is another lovely oasis on a beautiful day xx
DeleteThank you Mai Tai, We will definately check out Hotel Costes, great tip. Susan X
DeleteDear MaiTai,
ReplyDeletewow!!! Your pics are stunning as always!! I cannot say how much I myself love skiing and winter holidays together with the family;-)
Desperately sorry for being so late, but big hugs for your amazing blog´s anniversary!
It´s always such a great pleasure reading your e-mails I have subscribed to.
I can only agree with all the lovely ladies´ comments saying it is so fantastic to have some friends around the whole world sharing the pleasure and inspiration you give us, be it regarding clothes, H handbags:-)), accessories, travel or just joie de vivre... Many thanks for all this and have a great rest of the week in springtime - in Germany it is rather cold right now..
All the very best, Barbara
Hello dear Barbara, so nice to see you again! Many thanks also for the lovely birthday wishes for the blog. I really am so grateful to technology, for making it all possible in the first place. Without it, we all would have never found each other! Sending you some warm spring sunshine xx
