A mí , como a Piper, me ha chocado que mis zapatos se parezcan tanto a los tuyos! y hace años que no salgo a la calle sin la Anthélios , por la cara y por todo el cuerpo.
Un saludo!
Oh ... I loved reading this. I love a sneak peek into someone's closet.
I am lodging that double chain ring firmly on my wish list. So, so lovely. And I love that you wear Dr. Scholls, too!
how lovely to be a ballerina!
Well done, like the wish list Tshirt, for sure.
JOYCE - I find that one's a lot more self-confident when one feels comfortable.
PIPER - me gustaria ver tus zapatos en tu blog! Un beso para los gatitos...
MY CASTLE IN SPAIN - yes, it's a small Penhaligon silver flask on a chain, to carry your perfume around like jewelry. My perfume is Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet. What's yours?
IT'S JUST ME - serendipity!
I'll check out your style post, let me know when it's posted!
CHRISTINA - if you love this tag, you're more than welcome to play along!!
EMMA - ah yes, they're a classic.
But Benjy gnawed on the laces so I need to get new laces. Maybe brightly colored ones?
MARCI - lei en el Vogue americano, y tambien me han dicho dermatologos, que la Anthelios es la mejor crema para el sol.
STEPHANIE - my mum, my sister and I all wear Scholls. My mum was inspired by her super stylish aunt, Raquel, who wore them back in the days (in the 60's?).
Do you wear Scholls too?
PAL SHAZAR - well, I'm really an amateur and not good AT all.
where is your bompart sweater.
kiss hope to speak to you soon -
Beautiful photos!
compared to my crappy cell phone photos lol
Your style sounds so comfy and relaxed, I like it.
Glad you liked my red skirt, I love it so much, I sometimes wear it for dancing, I love how it swings with the way I move :)
Strangely I don't have many nice pictures of myself dancing lol But if I find few good ones, I'll probably post them here...someday...
Very interesting! I love your rings!
Love that you are so laid back yet classic in your dress and your attitude. I would love to know about your white shirts-always looking for that perfect one.
What lovely rings and so dear.
CHLOE - I just love my Bompard sweater! It's eternal.
I miss you.
MICHICKO - well, my cell phone doesn't have a camera. I use a very good Lumix camera with a Leica lens.
I totally see what you mean about the skirt swinging, it's very graceful, very Ginger Rogers...
DEBRA - actually, I was thinking of posting about my white shirts!! I'll do it some time soon.
ME ENCANTO LEER ESTE POST!!!!
wow you are fun!!!
would love to see the Yamamoto dress...
i personally use a bit of olive oil...and my skin is supeeeeeeer soft.
love your cool wants list...
xxnancy
I love your style :)
Sorry I haven't visited in a while and thanks for the Maira post!
Also, I recommend Ahava creams if you have dry skin - my grandmother and mother swear by it as they have dry skin. It's skincare made out of Dead Sea products. I haven't tried it myself as I rarely use any moisturisers - luckily, I inherited my dad's skin. But give it a try - my grandmother rarely endorses any beauty product so heartily.
NANCY - thanks for the olive oil tip; doesn't it stain your clothes though???
I left my Yamamoto dress in Paris but next time I'm there I'll snap a pic for you.
HILA - I'll definitely give those creams a try if I can find them! I hope they're available in the US.
I'm not sure where you would buy them in the US, but they have a US online store:

Also, this is the cream my mother uses:

Converse ruls! :)
Great! I really enjoyed reading it:)
great response!
flappers are the best and spf 50 is a must.
ballet- wow.
A lovely tour. Your jewel box is delightful!
HILA - thanks for the links, you're so thoughtful!
ASHERETTE - I always feel we're exactly on the same wavelength...
Audrey Hepburn, YEEEES. when I was in Japan I discovered that she was adored by everybody as a national goddess or something. and rightly so!
Re: olive oil...actually thus far it hasn't stained any clothing. I first got the idea when I read an article from Carolina Herrera's daughter saying that she mixed olive oil with Nivea cream...
and yessssss I would love to see the dress...
xxnancy
Certains bijoux...bien sûr je les reconnais.
TRAVELER'S SOUL - oui, ce sont tes precieux cadeaux, si pleins de souvenirs, que j'aime tant.
Great tag post! We share our Cetaphil face wash belief! :) I use for oily skin...
Your jewelry is gorgeous and the best part is it's sentiment value.
Thank you for sharing!
