Part 11 of my visit to St.Tropez market. I always try to take a photo of my favourite shop as I walk from the bus stop to Place de Lice where the market is held. It is not easy to get a good shot as there is a lot of reflection from the windows. However, it is worth it as I consider that the window displays really reflect the chic “ensembles” suitable for women of our age. I would love…
I find that it is worth getting up early to catch the 8.55am bus from Grimaud into St.Tropez on a Tuesday or Saturday morning to visit St. Tropez market in Place des Lices. If you leave it any later in the summer season it becomes too hot and crowded for my liking. At that time of the morning, the air was still fresh and the narrow lanes between the stalls were not too crowded. My friend and I were able to…
One of the aspects I love about blogging is meeting up with fellow bloggers and whiling away the time sitting in cafes “people watching”.

The elegant facade of the House of Chanel caught my eye as I walked from the port to the centre of the village.…
I was so glad that I was visiting Paris while the “Christian Dior: Couturier du Rêve” exhibition was on. It was spectacular. Susan of Unefemme and I had luckily booked tickets in advance because the queues were long. If you are able to get to Paris before the exhibition closes on 7th January 2018 I would highly recommend a visit. Above is a picture of the grand hall, where the magnificent ballgowns were on show. The photo does not give you…
The red trend seems to have caught on in Paris as well as London and New York. Whilst sitting in Parisian cafes watching the world go by on my recent trip, I observed some chic Parisian women wearing various shades of red and orange. It is a great colour to cheer up a dull winter’s day. Although many Parisian women stuck to the traditional neutrals such as navy and camel for their outfits there were occasional flashes of colour.
