St.Tropez market

Whenever I come down to Grimaud I can’t wait to visit St.Tropez market. Last Saturday I went with two friends and we had a wonderful morning exploring the different and very eclectic stalls. Everything from local vegetables, artisan breads, exotic spices and antiques are on show. The market is my favourite haunt for hats, scarves and jewellery. This visit I came away with a new straw fedora hat in blush pink. As if I need another hat! I also fell for a bright pink cotton scarf. Both shortly to be featured on the blog.

You can easily identify me. I am with one wearing the hat!

Wicker baskets are all the rage this summer. St. Tropez offers a wide selection. This year I noticed that there were quite few sprayed silver.

ST. TROPEZ STYLE BASKETS:

Love this bag and it was real leather. I did resist but I am going back to the market next week so you never know.

BLUE BAGS:

I always try and take a photo of my favourite shop. It is situated down one of the side streets. Their windows never fail to impress me. I love the green patterned paillette dress. Very bling.

Typical laid back St.Tropez look. Casual top and dangly necklace.

Fell in love with this pink jacket. However it was a bit out of my price range at over €500.

Same shop with a lovely grey lurex cardigan.

PINK JACKETS:

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.

What a wonderful place to spend time with friends. Loved the grey lurex with the white jeans - inspiration for my outfit for my trip to Dallas, Tx today. Looking forward to sharing more of your stay in St Tropez.

Josephine, I love all these looks. Your trips south look like so much fun -- especially this market. It's fun to experience these experiences virtually.

These markets are one of the things I miss from when we went to France regularly. You must go back for that blue handbag if it co-ordinates with many things in your wardrobe and you don't have one already!!!

I love these reports on markets and shopping. Pinned that sequin dress and mailed it to Lisa The Sequinist haha. So up her alley.
Thanks for this post.
