A new contributor and our French village

 

One of the joys of spending time in our apartment in France has been the warm welcome we have received from our neighbours and the delightful and interesting friends we have made over the last five years.

 

 

We have also made some animal friends on our many walks in the french countryside.

 

Our feral friends. They live quite near our apartment and we feed them left overs.  The village of Grimaud is so full of cats that its nickname is “Grimeoow.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The scarf I am wearing is from Zara last year, it is a bit pot luck with Zara you just have to pop and see what they have got as they sell out really quickly.  My jeans are my usual NYDJ straight leg and trainers by New Balance.

I have sourced some similar below both for my US and UK readers.

 

 

 

Chicatanyage

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.

  • Where is your lovely throw from Josephine....it suits you perfectly? I am a regular visitor to your page and enjoy using your tips!

    • Hi Christina Glad you enjoy the blog. The navy wrap coat is from DKYN, I bought it about 10 years ago and have found it extremely useful. The style is very "on trend" this season and I have tried to find some similar styles which you can find at the bottom of my post "A beautiful French Chateau hotel".

  • Lovely settings and what beautiful cats in the wild! Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday, you look terrific.

  • It looks beautiful there, and it must be great to have such an interesting neighbour. Love the scarf, the wrap cape looks great too x
