I adore everything here--the red tights, the red watch, the scarf, the wallpaper, the stripes on the dress. Its just great style.

Joie de vivre

I know I’ve been on a mini French kick this week—for whatever reason its inspiring me. I saw this photo and loved it so much. I like the way her style communicates a carefree enjoyment of life—the trench, scarf, and gladiator sandals communicate that it’s a bit damp, but warm enough to walk around town in cute shoes. And, who are the fresh flowers for? Are they a personal treat or a gift? This is how I imagine myself running errands on a Saturday morning—happy and content.

Final Touch: A Scarf

Tying on a scarf is the last thing I do before I walk out of the house in the morning. I spritz perfume on it and tie it in a sloppy bow. Sometimes I tie it on my bag. My current fave is pliable light wool Yves Saint Laurent that I picked up a few years ago for five dollars at the Humane Society Thrift Shop. It looks a lot like the one in the picture above. I love the way she has it flung over one shoulder—its such a nonchalant look, and I like the rueful expression on her face.
