France

Journey through France and St.Tropez market

Journey through France and St.Tropez market. I hope you had a great holiday break and are ready to start 2024 with enthusiasm and energy. I have certainly benefited from taking some time off and relaxing. However, there has been different work to do as we are having the exterior of our apartment block renovated. This has meant clearing out the clutter we had accumulated on our patios.

Our journey down to Grimaud

The first photo shows me in the garden of our Chambre d’hôte Le Domaine which is situated South of Mâcon in the heart of the Burgundian wine district. We have stayed there before and received a warm welcome from our hosts. More photos of our previous stay here.

Journey through France and St.Tropez market

Once I was feeling a bit more energetic we took a trip on the local bus into St.Tropez to check out the market there.

I love the way they always have a modern art display at the entrance to St.Tropez. This season it was colourful and the lilac picked up the colours of the lilac scarf and beret I am wearing. My leather jacket was originally from MeandEm. It was pricey however I still love it many years later. I purchased mine in their sale. Current versions here. I have teamed it here with black trousers and my black Asics trainers.

More price-conscious leather jackets are available at MarksandSpencer

It got a bit warmer later so I took my black jacket off. Pink cashmere sweater many years old originally from Winser London. My black sneakers are from Asics.

NEW SEASONS PICKS:

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.

  • Happy New Year Josephine, I hope the exterior of your building will soon be completed and meanwhile enjoy your holiday in France. As always you look beautiful. Thank you for keeping us posted.

  • Always find the alternate photos of interest, just grabbed my black and white houndstooth jacket to style with jeans and a pullover; off to a Thursday evening Symphony. Who would have thought?
