Look Coco 07

White velours trousers, large boot cut - Miss Creeks
Marine blue plastron shirt - Lisa Rose, Z
Scarf bohême and liberty - H&M

Look Coco 06


I'm tempted to say that red pants are a bargain for the Winter wardrobe ! You'll find these ones at H&M. The cut is not bad and the colour pretty good but you'll have to deal with the Hello Kitty badge on the right back pocket ... The long sleeve tee-shirt with the lovely felt cat patch on the front is from Bout'chou Monoprix. The shoes I picked for the season are the grey leather low cut boots from Pom d'Api (that look like the Desert Clarks one).

Stamp set by Alice Melvin


Colette got a beautiful stamp set from her aunt Jane who lives in London. She's obviously too small to play with it but I'm not !
I love the illustration of the top cover with its aqua green. It slides open revealing 24 wood stamps letters with a rubber pad and a 4 colors inker. We owe these A to Z alphabet stamps to the Edinburgh-based illustrator and designer Alice Melvin. Alice has worked with the Tate on an accompanying range of children's products, and her second children's title Counting Birds has just been released.
You can purchased both at the Tate's gallery shop or in her online shop. Talking about stamps, I couldn't resist to also show you that cutest little Japanese set from Leslie that I found in her "good-ness" shop on Etsy.

Look Coco 05


I'm a big fan of that kind of outfit: comfortable/ not too wintery but just right for that shoulder season/ easy to wear and yet fashionable. The red scarf is giving that rock'n roll touch and tone up the grey and light pink.
Red scarf with printed wolves dancing in a stylised white and pink cherry tree/ Grey leggins - H&M
Knitted grey jacket with silver lurex, one button/ Light pink, long sleeves, light coton shirt - Bout'chou Monoprix
Classic mid cut toile white sneakers - Spring Court

Souvenirs




A Schleich elephant in the sand, a Liberty bathing suit, coloured scarfs on the head to protect us from the sun, and freedom for best friend.
