Lyon - Part 2

The second part of my Lyon holiday, finally. Sorry for the delay, we had a big family reunion here in Glasgow and have been busy celebrating my Dad's birthday in amazing restaurants :)

Now for Lyon, on the Sunday we went to one of my favourite place: the flea market (Les Puces). It was about 30 degrees at 11 in the morning and the antic pieces were melting in the sun! Managed to find a cute little plate and some really cool retro coat hangers, a bargain.

All the usual sellers like to come for a glass of wine in this little Bistro where you can admire the Football scarves and big hams hanging from the ceiling.

This little shop was crazy, full of old books and creepy dolls. I didn't want to touch anything as it looked like it might all fall like a card castle!

This dress is one of my favourite summer dresses. I got it in TopShop 2 years ago and it's a perfect fit. My gran once told me "You have to always stay think enough to fit in this dress, it's so nice!" Thanks Mamy Pink!

This bike was so cool, the tyres were made of wood, it was so old! Would have liked it for myself but I found out that vintage wooden bikes can be very expensive!

My Dad and getting lost amongst letters...

Will be back soon with some photos of the birthday in Missoni hotel, how very fashionable! Hope you are all doing beautifully little borrowers.

Ps: Stay tuned for a soon to come BoRO shop...

Back Home

Back in Glasgow after amazing Easter holidays and the sun is shining! It was so nice to see Mommy E in London, walk on the beach in Brittany and eat with a view on the Eiffel Tower at the Palais de Tokyo. Back to reality now!

I was wearing this same tshirt the other day for casual travelling but today I made it look a bit smarter for work with my Vanessa Bruno trousers that I got 5 years ago to work at the French Consulate in San Francisco, had to look smart!

This little beauty giraffe brogues are one of my best bargain hunt, got them on sale in UO last year and managed to treat them well enough to wear them again this year.

Managed to steal a couple of shots of Michael's cool look while he was taking our bikes for a ride! The Goat and the Elephant are unseparable.

Hazy Shade of Winter

Hello Blinky!

Fashion is like Physics: nothing is destroyed, nothing is created, only transformed. You think something is gone and Bang! it comes back in your face: 3 years ago, wouldn't have been caught dead in massive shouldered/ epaulette clothes and BAM Balmain arrives and you want them everywhere: blazer, tshirt, sequin dress, you name it! You think you look well cool with wedges, well, my mum was wearing them on her bike back in 1976!
In the same way, you think you create a new look and invent new clothes but the inspiration is always somewhere, you will find that someone in the 1840's was wearing the same type of shoes.
Still doesn't stop me pretending to be an inventor...


For instance, first time I wore this outfit, my colleague said "You look like a Mondrian painting". Thank you very much. Now I now why I liked those colours together. Monochromes; always a winner!
I was also scared that too many colours in the winter days would be sore for the eye, but I think they actually work really well!!


Got this lovely jumper last year in the sale, love it.
