Denim and Pink Fun!

Linking to Patti’s Not Dead Yet Style for Visible Monday

Silk camisole by Jasper Conran and alligator Collier de Chien cuff by Hermès

What are the odds of finding 4 totally different items by 4 totally different brands in the same pink? And as promised I wore some high heels with jeans…..

Spring Accessories: Pattern Scarf and Shoes

It feels so good to wear lighter coloured accessories with the change in season. This is a new to me silk scarf I scored off *ebay. It’s a quality silk twill with plump hand rolled hems and the pattern is the perfect blend of a neutral background, green, ochre, red, khaki and blue. I’m getting better with remembering to put on the little trinkets

Basic: Sweatshirt and Chinos

For over 20 years I strived to be ‘dressed up’ and it seems the opposite is happening from now til whenever! There is again quite masculine elements even my belt is a vintage Gucci man’s. I often mix up steel/silver tones with goldtones, it’s not something I’m hung up with.

Coral, Blue Jeans and Saddle Leather

To celebrate the sunshine and departure of Winter – finally – I broke out the coral jumper and straight blue jeans worn here with the ‘natural’ colour Evelyne bag and belt by Hermès.

Classic Spring Time

The special rule for me is ‘add one more before leaving the house‘! I didn’t wear the black studded cuff originally. For a long time I didn’t feel comfortable with the stacking-wrist-candy-thing and anyway, didn’t have the right pieces but I’m going there…..

Le Sac Princesse and the Dress

May I introduce my latest vintage love….le sac ‘Princesse’ by Hermès. It was a very, very lucky find that I stumbled upon as these things usually are. There’s no knowing when something like this will appear. I thought I was lucky enough to find this other exotic Hermès bag here but this one I simply could not resist! It’s the classic Rouge H colour which is a burgundy shade, in amazing condition for her age and a good size/capacity.

I just want to say I buy vintage bags to use and not as a piece of art to look at on a shelf. This is why I always consider the size, fortunatey I can use fairly small bags and the minimum for me is about 10″ across and at least 2.5″ deep, any less it’s a clutch which is a style I simply don’t use often at all. I can’t wait to carry it with jeans but first with a dress..
