Even in Paris in a stylish room overlooking the Eiffel Tower, a girl needs a good book and a nap.

And not necessarily in that order.  And on that note ...

Happy Francophile Friday to you!

Venerdi in Venice : Venetian View

Weekend in Venice, anyone?   This watery-coloured scenery is long overdue Chez Shell.  My apologies and pass the prosecco, per favore.

Today's Venice illustration sees us consulting a somewhat dubious source for a palm reading.  I don't even know why, as I'll see your soothsayer and raise it by my naysayer.  I'd rather be surprised with what each day unfurls than go through life wondering how to think ahead of every predicted contingency.  I can't even plan my wardrobe the night ahead let alone the rest of it!

So come, let us hoik up our skirts or palazzo pants, perch ourselves at a Venetian vantage point and wave at the locals.  You never know who might stop along.  And on that note ...

Happy Venerdi in Venice to you!

She looks pensive.  Or perhaps she's waiting ... for a caption.

Or wondering why she didn't paint her toenails before opting to go barefoot and ballgowned.   That's probably what I'd be wondering.  Deep, I know.  It's easier than politics, climate change and what plastic is doing to our marine life.  Way too depressing.  Sometimes I just can't adult. To our fluffy place! And on that note ...

Happy Fluffy Fashionable Friday to you !

Fashionable Friday : Promenade in Procida

I'm not a worldly traveller.  So the plenitude of picturesque places on Pinterest that would elicit reminiscent Oohs and Aahs of, "I've been there!" from others seldom get that response from me.  I might Ooh and Aah over how pretty they are, but as to where they were taken?  I'm mostly clueless. 

The inspiration for today's fashion illustration with its stone neutrals and touches of pink had me wondering about Capri or somewhere in those thereabouts.  A tad more research revealed it to be Procida, a wee, small island off Naples that apparently is a hidden gem, a tiny delight and a jewel box to be explored at your next opportunity.  And it turns out my geographical instincts aren't completely clueless after all !  Huzzah !

Lemonade will flavour our weekend there.  Espadrilles are standard fare, whether flat or wedge, and off-the-shoulder blouses will always be at home there. Floaty skirt or floaty pants ~ as long as the breeze billows through, it will do. And on that note ...

Happy Fashionable Friday to you !
