I thought i would come back with what i wore on Saturday - as i have forgotten most of what has come before - it was a bit of self portraiture which is not my fave but i have an amazing Fashion and Frank outfit to share with you which mr has to capture this weekend - it is ammmmaaazing. In the meantime i will share this little vignette which a lovely young girl told me she loved and that i reminded her of SJP in it - i told the man as i was extremely flattered - he felt it not a compliment - and therein i think lies the difference between man and woman - have a very fab week xxx
Who is peeping behind Mummy - sulky boy
Saturday was a pretty fab day - meet my new handbag
What a gorgeous day - i think winter sun is my favourite kind
The skirt is one of my own - i think one of the hardest things to find is the perfect basic in a really really good cloth - so to that end i am designing a range of basics for myself in cashmeres and silks - this is my classic A-line front pleat in a Lora Piano Grey Cashmere - i wore it in the car for nearly 4 hours and all it needed was a light steam - that is a successful piece to my mind - that and that it fits and flatters

You look stunning there, a swirl of caramel goodness! I really love the skirt, you are right it is so hard to find good basics.
ReplyDeleteI'm also pining for that wooden barn - it could be in Montana.
Thanks Tabitha - as for that barn - it was the barn richard and claire built - you wouldnt believe the amount of thought and research that went into that cladding and you wouldnt believe what it was covering - one day i might share with you the epic tale of this house - the good news we love it (now) xx
DeleteSo happy to see you back! :D Try to stay around for a while - really missed your wonderful post! xxx
ReplyDeleteNatalia thanks so much - missed you too xx
DeleteI dont know that I've ever seen SJP look so chic! Usually she comes off looking like a bag lady.
ReplyDeleteI guess you are in my mans camp - then again i think she was prob referring to her alter ego Carrie Bradshaw - or indeed i took it as so!! x
DeleteI have missed your posts as I too am a fan.
ReplyDeleteLove the skirt and the way you've put this look all together.
I'd like to see a close up on your new bag...
thats very sweet hostess and i will crop into a pic for you x
DeleteWell moaning mummy is happy now!! You look fantastic and the weather too looked amazing. Love the neutral colour combination. The skirt is great fits beautifully. Now off to cook supper!! Lorra luv, M xx
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased - enjoy your dinner! xx
DeleteYour outfit is gorgeous. I love the scarf and boots!

Thanks NEris x
DeleteClaire, I'm so glad you are back! And - I had no doubts about it... - you did it in style! The beautiful coat is perfect to channel the trend we saw on the FW catwalk and I like the way your are sporting it in the first two pictures (just like Phoebe Philo!). The skirt has a great design and fabric, and I look forward to the day you start producing your line...I would also take the SJP reference as a compliment but Mr. NJAPD certainly not, so, as you said, it's a man issue.
ReplyDeleteIt so is a man thing - i want to be Carrie - i would live and die in her wardrobe - Mr likes Charlotte - seriously - how bloody bland! xx
DeleteYou look fabulous, the coat is gorgeous <3

Only one - get a really good tailor and a fab fabric shop - often easier said than done - and then it is all up to you - you will have so much fun x
DeleteClaire, I have been missing you! Glad for an update, thank you, and hope things will be settling down for you soon. I am completely in love with your cashmere skirt, you are brilliant to create your own quality clothing like this. Love! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Kellina - it is such fun doing it and you get exactly what you want and it fits - i normally buy and tailor but i have nervous moments when it is really expensive thinking ooh god what if they mess it up! luckily i have an excellent tailor x
DeleteNice look dear! love your boots
