Hello Yellow!

Spring brings color, and no color is as emblematic of the season as yellow.
The color of sunshine. Of zing and zip and zest. Yellow sings “welcome back to life!”
My perfect little cottage, the one that exists (for now) only in my mind is yellow. A delicious mix of lemon and cream. A bashful, mellow yellow .
It’s ringed with blooms that caress the eye and hush the hurried heart.
Their happy faces are irresistible, smiling back at me as they dance in the sun.
There is no such thing as too many flowers.
Dainty blooms belong on the dinner table too. Sweet daisy chains of domesticity. Whispering comfort.
Rooms wreathed in beguiling yellows enchant the eye. Suffuse the snug rooms with lemony, lyrical contentment.
Yellow is the face of homegrown grace. Cheerful, unhurried, unfurling its charms to passersby.

Somewhere between pink and coral, shades of watermelon are perennially ripe for picking.
Delectable!

Matters of Chic: The Red Beret
08 Monday May 2017

Urban Outfitters
The beret is back.
No less an authority than Vogue confirms it: the classic beret is in the midst of a moment. Or another moment, more precisely; one in a line of moments that began in the 1920s.
With the right clothes and some styling savvy, the beret can be more surprise than stereotype. Square at the intersection of class and sass, this French topper practically begs for a Breton striped mariniere and knotted neck scarf.
Resist! Unless you are off to The Ride Beret Baguette or Anjou Velo Vintage — either of which I encourage, fear NOT the twee — that is no way to treat a beret.
Why not re-think it in red?
A zesty testament to the confidence of the wearer, a rosy topper telegraphs a certain savoir-faire. Sophisticated with a classic trench and flats, or continental with a sharp-shorn bob, the beret is a hall-of-famer; versatile, ageless and timeless.
With proper styling, you’ll never be mistaken for a vigilante in your red beret. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. If you’re going to be a vigilante, you might as well be a stylish one, right?

Softening the moto jacket and knife-pleated skirt. Lovely!

This blogger’s vintage style is a favorite of mine. The face of an angel to boot.
Peony Lim
Peony is actually wearing a striped shirt here, but I’m mesmerized by those fearless brocade trousers. Advanced style, not for the meek.
Style du Monde
Paired with echoes of another classic, the camel trench. Fresh, young and modern.
