Going to SUPERMARKET....

People who are seing us for the first time always ask:


"Is it a special day? Why are you dressed like that?


It's hard to believe for them that we are like that all year long...


So here is for example of what we wore to go to supermarket this week.


Yes, it can look a little bit overdressed...


But life is short, so wear what you like, when you want!


Of course, it was a bit hard at the beginning to deal with these glances and questions...


Sometimes I even forget that I'm wearing something different,


it's just that I'm ease like that...


We were in Paris last week-end...


I could not wait to wear my new flea market find!


This beautiful 50's floral dress!


Perfect match with my new Miss L Fire shoes...


I visited their store in Los Angeles last month and brought back a few pairs!


This model is just so nice and comfy that I'm dreaming to have it in every colors!!!


Yellow is quite a hard color to wear for a blonde,


but why not a few yellow accessories?


Sometime, an outfit can be quite plain...


but add a 20's hat,


funky vintage jewelery,


and smart shoes...


and we have a really dapper guy!!!!


I can understand why people stare at us all the time...


Most of the time, they are really kind,


but unlike Sylvain who likes to explain our life style, I feel quite bothered about that...


Do you wear your vintage only in special occasions?
Do you like when people ask you why you are wearing that?

Les personnes qui nous rencontrent pour la première fois nous demandent souvent: "Y a-t-il quelque chose de spécial aujourd'hui?".... euh, non, c'est juste nos habits de tous les jours... cela leur parait souvent un peu dur à comprendre... Mais bon, la vie est trop courte pour ne pas porter ce que l'on veut, quand on veut! Nous pourrions peut-être paraître un peu trop classes pour aller faire les courses ainsi vêtus, mais c'est pourtant ainsi que nous étions cette semaine. Je vous laisse profiter des détails en photos!

MONT SAINT MICHEL....

After our 3 weeks in the USA, we are again on the road!


Sorry but I'm not planning any posts about that US trip...


too busy to enjoy our vacations... no time for photo shoot!


You can see a few pictures on our Instagram page.


So last week-end was a 4 days one in France...


perfect for a small trip in our beautiful country!


After a small stop in Paris, we went to west...


to Normandy first with a visit of Mont Saint Michel!


The weather was just so perfect... almost summer...


but SO windy by the seaside!!!


It's not just for the photos that I was holding my hat....


not the best idea I have ever had to wear this large hat!


The Mont Saint Michel is one of the most visited place in France.


Sylvain and I went there in our childhood but never came back.


The outside of the Mont has changed a lot since the 80's.


The Mont was in danger because of what men built around during the XXth century (roads, parkings...)


all these were destroyed a few years ago and the Mont is now a island again!


Everything is so charming in there....


My huby chose a bright coral 50's shirt for that beautiful day!


Why not a Palms 40's tie?


Looking dapper, isn't he?


For me a comfortable 50's outfit...


I would prefer some nice red high heels shoes...


but flats were a must wear to walk all day long!


I love that 50's vegetables skirt!


I found those NOS 50's sunglasses in Las Vegas,


was pretty proud about that find!

 

The tag said "true gold glitters"!!!


What do you think about my Joséphine Baker brooch?


It is a Marie-Christine Pavone creation.


We really enjoyed our visit...


it was perhaps a little bit too crowdy...


that's why we decided to come back to our car by walk instead of in a shuttle.


We decovered than a ghost 50's motel...


Rooms where SO TINY!!!


We finished the day in the city Saint-Malo.


I finally dropped off my hat...


too much wind!


Saint-Malo is also a really beautiful city.


We enjoyed there a wonderful diner with homemade crêpes...
 THE speciality of french Britain!!!


Have you ever been to the Mont Saint Michel or Saint-Malo?
Do you like french crêpes?

A peine revenus de notre périple américain que nous voici déjà sur les routes de notre beau pays! Comment ne pas avoir envie d'aventures avec un long week-end et ce temps estival?
Direction plein Est vers la Bretagne! Nous n'y étions pas retournés depuis notre enfance... Premier arrêt au superbe Mont Saint Michel et une soirée dans les remparts de Saint-Malo... un dîner dans une crêperie familiale clôtura cette mémorable journée!!!
- A bientôt -
