SOME KIND OF BLUES

AND SO THE SUN STARTS TO SHINE IN OUR GARDEN AND WE THROW OFF OUR JACKET AND THROW CAUTION TO THE WIND; SHOWING OFF OUR NEW ALIX OF BOHEMIA  INDIE DRESS IN ONE OF MANY INDIAN INDIGO DYED FABRICS. ALL THESE HUES ARE MAKING US DREAM OF VAN GOGH AND SUNFLOWERS AND THE SOUTH OF FRANCE. EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE BLUES (FANTASTIC READ).












ALIX OF BOHEMIA INDIE DRESS IN RAIN SPOTS, BY SPECIAL ORDER. GET YOUR OWN HERE.

PINK AND MIX

WE MUST BE PLAGUED WITH PINK EYE; FOR LATELY WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET ALL SHADES OF ROSE, CORAL AND BABY PINK OUT OF OUR LINE OF VISION. THE FEVER STARTED WITH A BUNCH OF BLUSH COLOURED HYACINTHS, AND NOW WE CAN'T SEEM TO STOP SWEATING THE SHADE. HERE, A GLIMPSE OF A COUPLE OF BITS WE SEWED UP OVER THE WEEKEND FOR OUR FRIENDS OVER AT 9 LONDON. 

BOHEMIANS: GEORGIANA

HELLO RIO: LUCKY DUCK GEORGIANA SMILES SMUGLY FROM A BOAT, IN BRAZIL. HER MOSTLY COMPANION? THE ALIX OF BOHEMIA TEDDIE SHORTS  IN COTTON TIE DYE. WHAT BETTER TO SET OFF THAT ENGLISH TAN ON AN ENGLISH ROSE?

DINNER WITH FRIENDS

 

 OLD FRAN TELLS US THAT 'FOOD IS PART OF A BALANCED DIET', HEAVEN KNOWS SHE IS RIGHT, FASHION DOESN'T FEED US ENOUGH. SO WHAT BETTER WAY TO ENJOY IT THAN AMONGST FRIENDS AT HOME ON A SATURDAY NIGHT? ALL THE NIBBLES THAT WE LIKE, AMONGST SOME STICKS WE FOUND IN THE GARDEN AND SOME FRESH HYACINTHS, TO BE FOLLOWED BY SOME CAPONATA AND A ROAST CHICKEN. 

WITH A CLOSET FULL OF CLOTHES AND NOTHING TO WEAR, WE DONNED THE ALIX OF BOHEMIA FLEETWOODDRESS IN BLANC DE INDIA, WITH AN ANTIQUE SILVER BELT, AND PLAYED THE HIPPIE HOSTESS. 

SCHOOL SPIRIT

WE'RE ALL ABOUT THE OLD ALMA MATER, SO IT WAS NICE TO SEE SOME OF OUR BITS TROTTING DOWN THE CATWALK AT THE ANNUAL ST ANDREW'S FS:12 SHOW TO BENEFIT THE PRINCES TRUST. THOSE LONG LEGGED BRONZE GODDESSES CHANNELING THE ALIX OF BOHEMIA ST TROPEZ GIRL, SPORTING OUR LITTLE FLOWER POWER SUIT (SEE US FROLIC IN IT HERE)  AND OUR CLASSIC CAMELIA BLOUSES, AMONGST OTHER THINGS. WELL DONE ON THE SHOELESS JOE STATUS, THOSE KIDS IN SCOTLAND DON'T MISS A TRICK. 

AWAITING SOMETHING WARMER: MEMORIES OF US IN THE AFOREMENTIONED WARM WEATHER GEAR IN NAPA:

GOLDBORNE GIFTS

WE WANDERED UP TO THE GOLDBORNE ROAD LAST FRIDAY MORNING (AS ONE IS SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN THE SUN SHINES ON FRIDAY MORNING) AND FOUND OURSELVES ADMIRING THIS BEAUTIFUL MEXICAN SKULL PRINTED ON OLD PAPER. WE MUST HAVE APPEARED SMITTEN BECAUSE THE LOVELY NIELS, WHO MADE IT, GIFTED IT TO US IN THE SHOP. 

WE CONTINUE OUR LOVE OF ALL THINGS MEXICO EVEN ABROAD, AND FIND OURSELVES DREAMING OF DIEGO AND FRIDA, THOUGH THE CINCO DE MAYO IS STILL SOME MONTHS AWAY.


THANK YOU N. WE LOVE IT, AND WE CANT WAIT TO FRAME IT.

D AND FRIDA, (LOVE HER RUFFLES)
