Anne Appreciation

Bonjour!!

On this beautiful Saturday afternoon I have to take a moment of appreciation for this woman:


Arnel dress by Nardis of Dallas 1956 - Anne St Marie

1950's/60s  model Anne Saint Marie is a face I see a lot of when I'm looking through vintage photos.  She covered the pages of Vogue and Harpers Bazaar many times, she was a mean clothes everything she wore oozed sophistication and elegance.



She was working the smize way before Tyra gave it a name, and her look is just timeless.  Her photos could've been taking today and it wouldn't be out of place. 


                                             


There isn't much information about her on the internet (gasp!), so she remains this beautiful enigma.  Which I quite like because many times the stories of many vintage icons tend to be quite grim.  I see it is as she came, she saw, she conquered (the fashion world that is!)

Spring has Sprung!






Bonjour!





I think after the beautiful weather we've had this weekend it's safe to say Spring is finally here, or Spring has sprung!

 I took this picture after having a bit of a lazy day on Saturday evening, on my way to do my eyebrows (exciting!)  I usually only ever do them now when I have a special occasion , that just me?  Couldn't resist taking a picture of the beautiful sunset, it really is the little things that give me that warm fuzzy feeling!


Hint of Pink



Sunday was a bit more eventful, I went to a friends wedding and had baby Pigeon!!  It was delicious, I keep saying better than Chicken (sorry to the pigeon lovers!).  The sun really came out to play and made for a beautiful day so I didn't regret getting my legs out.

Also the new season also unveils new colours, I'm not really one to know whats on trend but I thought I'd have a look a some of the colours of the moment.

I always wonder who decides these things!  I'm loving the colours, but I know I won't be sticking to them are you big on colour trend?
