Yes I Do Wear Hats

 Monday, November 29, 2010


"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."
— George Eliot
 
I'm enjoying the last days of fall... 23 more days and winter will be here... :) We had a lovely super cold Sunday. I love feeling the freeze air on my face while the sun is shining... It's such a great feeling! I had the chance to wear my new-vintage hat, it has a bow in it, which I adore :) I love wearing hats but I never find the chance to wear them as often as I would like.  Hence I promised myself I am to wear more hats these days. Hope you had an amazing weekend ladies!

Spanish Designers: Kling, Winter 2010

 Monday, November 22, 2010


Kling did it again. Their Winter 2010 collection is superb. Loving the colours, the texture and the originality. And what's best it's the price, they are becoming very well-known but they still offer such low prices. Well done! During the crisis period, we need to stay within a budget :)

Maude Fealy

 Sunday, November 21, 2010


I want to share with you a few pics of Maude Fealy. She was an American stage and film actress born in 1883. She was quite a woman and very modern for her time. Now I feel like wearing lots of flowers on my head! :) Isn't she gorgeous?

On a different note, the boy is away in London, he has another audition, so fingers crossed! :) I miss him lots...  Have a lovely Sunday ladies!
