French markets and summer sales

I just love pottering around our village market. It is held every Thursday morning and is packed full of stalls with locally grown vegetables, fresh cheeses, honey and of course the typical provencal fabrics and handmade jewellery. It is a veritable treasure trove and is where I buy many of my scarves and fun colourful pieces of costume jewellery, not to mention the many hats that I wear. Similar blue straw hat

My shift dress is several years old. If you are looking for similar styles LKBennett have great choices. Some casual and some ideal if you have a special occasion to attend and have not yet found the perfect dress. An added bonus is that their sale has started and they have 40% discount. Nordstrom also have a wide choice.

Also some sales you might like to check out Net-a-Porter – Matches.com – J.Crew – Whistles and John Lewis (50%) off selected brands.

Happy Bargain hunting. I am off to the beach.

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.

You've made me hungry just looking at those delicious pictures, and you look so cool and chic in your blue outfit. Blue is definitely your color, Josephine.

I'm only recently back from Paris, and I'm ready to go back.

Cheers, M-T
