A taste of summer and holidays to come. Last week while in the South of France we spent a wonderful day on the beach. The sun was shining and all was well with the world. We shared a delicious picnic with friends sitting on the sand at L’Escalet. I am wearing my new East top (shown in my capsule holiday wardrobe). I have teamed it with a pair of wide leg linen trouser  and some slip on mules. The hat I bought in St.Tropez market. It is a lovely blush colour. I just can’t resist a hat!!

The East embroidered top is made from pure cotton. I always wear either linen or cotton in the South of France when it is hot. The top is a perfect length, just covering the bum/butt. It has side slits which are excellent for accommodating my wide hips! Plus long sleeves which I know we all like. I love the colourful embroidery which gives it an ethnic/hippie feel. Very on trend this season. It would look equally good with jeans, either white or traditional blue.

I am wearing a turquoise pendant which picks up the turquoise colour in the top. I have also added a pair to turquoise dangly earrings which adds to the laid back ethnic vibe! Both purchased in St. Tropez market. You can find similar at Etsy turquoise pendants and Etsy turquoise earrings.

East offer excellent holiday pieces in natural fibes.

Disclosure. The East top was gifted to me. I only accept items that I feel fit in with my overall ethic and style.

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.
