Glorious Gloves - Part II

Remember when I wrote about my love-affair with gloves?

This post.

Well, I can now feed my appetite for glorious gloves some more with these stunning Valentino gloves.



Art for the hands ...



I have a soft spot for white gloves ...



I wish I was brave enough to wear these gloves ...





I just love how stylist Patricia Field incorporates gloves in outfits ...



I like my gloves matchy matchy with my purse ...



Et toi? Do you like to wear gloves?

Cordially,

A Thing Of Beauty ...

is a joy forever!


French Mademoiselle won her first giveaway!
I received these lovely French gardenia soaps, and a pretty little jar from Anya Caliendo's blog Couture Millinery Atelier.



Six fragant rose soaps are wafting through my house ...

*Sigh*



*Swoon*



*Faint*



Anya is a very talented hatmaker who creates exquisite hats like these:





J'adore les chapeaux!

When I was in the Loire Valley, France
a couple of weeks ago, I spotted this modern artwork at Château de Chambord.

Made me think of Alexander McQueen's
2008 spring / summer collection ...




Don't you think?

Au Revoir,

I'd Rather Go Shopping

Ever feel like you need to go shopping before the week is over?

Your head is a whirlwind of thoughts and the only way to regain calmness is to enter a store.


My Christian Louboutin 'Décolleté 100 jazz' pumps

Window shopping, browsing the racks,
trying on clothes, returning them ...
You know ... the same routine.



Summer hasn't even begun and I'm already tearing out pages from magazines to get inspired for Autumn / Winter.



So much to buy ...



So much to try ...



So much to see ...



Pfew ... Where do I begin?

Beautiful Beige

Beige is Back!

In every store I shop, every rack I browse,
I see Beige.

I love the color Beige!
(even though it washes me out sometimes)


Christian Dior - Spring/Summer 2010

I very well remember my first Beige trench coat I bought.
I was 16 and wore my trench proudly to school.
You see, most 16-year olds don't wear trench coats,
so I got a few uncomfortable stares, but that never bothered me.

It's not just Beige trenches that I love ♥ ...



Shoes, sandals, purses & glasses ...
You name it!


If it's Beige ... It's fabulous!

Glorious Gloves

Whether you like them or not, this extreme weather is forcing us to don on a pair of warm gloves. I personally love them. In fact, I collect them! They’re such a useful and often times cheap accessory. I pretty much own every color and fabric that you can find in a glove. I think a colourful glove spices up a winter coat that would otherwise be deemed as dull.

Right now I’m lusting after Miu Miu’s off-white lambskin leather gloves that have a crystal ring on them. It’s the answer to the dilemma that you can never wear rings and gloves together!
