Just sharing two of my latest favourite finds that I could
easily find room in my wardrobe for...

J'adore l'hiver quand il ne fait pas trop froid,
(pour l'instant ce n'est pas vraiment le cas car il neige dehors...)
je peux mettre des bottes tous les jours,

si je veux,
et des bottes, j'adore ça..!!!!

Acknowledging Classic Design...

.

I've always loved bandanas

.

and although this may seem like a strange blog post,

I decided the bandana is a classic design

who's style and function need to be acknowledged...

.

It began when I started travelling independantly and

needed to condense my luggage as I knew

I would be walking everywhere and jumping on and off trains and buses...

I remember throwing a bandana in my bag

thinking it would serve me for so many things:

A headband

A wash cloth

A Kleenex

A napkin

A shower cap

A luggage tag

A towel

A necklace

A Band-aid

A carry-all when tied hobo style

And finally,

a scarf...

. Some of you may avoid this universal accessory

thinking you look like a cowboy or pirate when wearing one

(not that there's anything wrong with that)

.
Designers from Louis Vuitton to Ralph Lauren

have taken this scarf to a whole new level
by adding their familiar signature...
.

More recently, my collection of bandanas
(which I no longer wear)
have been used by daughter when skiing or snowboarding
and to tie around our Golden retriever dog's neck
(she doesn't wear the same one as the dog..!)
