SOUTH

'Kiss me now, love me now'

Fitzgerald once wrote.

Last week, we were in urgent need of some affection:

some Sun and Sea Loving.

We longed to be kissed and loved by the two; a salty embrace and a warm tickle of rays,

Before being forced into winter hibernation. 

So we decided to do the sensible thing and head South.

THere was a big party on the Côte, and we are always happy to have an excuse to sew ourselves a snakeskin jumpsuit and board a plane:

(for its generally encouraged to wear animal print in those parts)

We watched the landscape change from 

Green to Blue from the window;

Blue was better. 

Then it was time for the first fête in a long line of celebrations;

This was going to be a marathon, not a sprint. (Not that we would ever go running, we're just reaching for a convenient metaphor)

So we did the normal thing and slapped on some Bohemian bits:

The ALIX of BOHEMIA Rivera Waistcoat, trimmed in Red Peru

 And met up with some friends, who were donning their own variety of Bohemia:

While drinking champagne from plastic cups, naturally. 

ALIX of BOHEMIA Lorelei jacket in Deep Blue Toile:

 The sun went down, but we made do with a few candles to illuminate a casual barbeque.

The next morning, we were feeling less than festive,

But we managed to rally, and revive ourselves with some fairly decent views

Taking a spaceship to get a closer look at all that BLUE

We gesticulated wildly and took in some rays,

and made a new pool buddy, who stole our Leopard Bohemia right off our back:

 She looked so good in it, we were happy to sacrifice it.

We also took a little colour palatte inspiration, in greens and pinks,

 Before kissing the landscape goodbye when the sun set. 

Not too shabby for a weekend love affair. 

Want the low-down on the wardrobe?
