Journey back through France

As I have said before we like to take a leisurely drive back from France spending the night at a newly found treasure. Once again we were not disappointed with our stop over at the Chateau L’Etoges in the very heart of the Champagne growing area. It is a fascinating area if you ever get the opportunity it is well worth a visit.

The restaurant in the Orangerie at the Chateau.

To keep extra warm I took to the art of layering with a padded gilet from Uniglo worn over a coat.

The fur collar I am wearing below was a very generous present from one of our friends in France. It adds a touch of elegance to most outfits from dresses to sweaters to coats.

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.
