A recent trip to St.Tropez market. It was a sunny but windy day when two friends and I took the bus from Grimaud Village to St.Tropez market. You can see from my hair how windy it was. I am wearing a pair of white jeans that are so old that I can’t remember where I got them from. I have teamed it with my 1995 brown leather jacket from Emporio Armani. Plus simple white sneakers and a scarf from the market.
I was asked recently to describe my style and whether it has changed as I got older. After some reflection, I decided that it hadn’t. I still choose classic investment pieces for my basic garments such as jackets, coats, trousers dresses etc. Then I add accessories especially jewellery scarves and hats to personalise my outfits. That is probably why I love going to the local markets and brocantes as they are a treasure trove for exciting and quirky accessories.
The bags are so similar to the ones currently available at Etsy and JohnLewis&Partners
The colour purple seemed to be very popular this season in the market.
I really fell in love with this scarf. I was very tempted however I do have a large collection of scarves already. Similar large silk scarves below:
I observed quite a few women wearing the maxi dress and denim jacket combination. You can see how my friend and I styled our denim jackets with our maxi skirts here.
A recent trip to St.Tropez market:
Leopard print is always well-represented in the market.
If have seen quite a few thick fluffy sweaters in the shops. Not being worn as it is still very hot here. I will investigate when I get back to the UK.
I just fell in love with all these bags. So cute and very “Barbie!”
I bought one of these bags for my 3-year-old granddaughter.
Flowers in the market.
Me outside Sephora. I love this store and stock up on essentials while I am in France. They have just opened a shop in Westfields and also offer mail order. If you live in the US it is well worth checking out Sephora there.
Fun post! Such a charming outfit. You look beautiful and adorable, as always. Love all the pretty things in the photos. Such gorgeous colors and materials.
I love your trips to the market! I see Prue Leith style jewelry is fashionable there 🙂 I love the blue print jacket and the cross body bags!
Love these photos! I recently bought a similar bag and I love it! So comfortable as a crossbody with the wide strap.
Great jewellery too.
Sephora is back in the UK at Westfield
