I NEVER MET ONE I DIDN'T LIKE.

ORIGINAL I AM NOT, IN MY ADORATION AND COLLECTION OF THE SAILING STRIPES (HAVING A FROG MAMAN PREDISPOSED MY LOVE FOR THE FRENCHIE CLASSIC)

 AND THOUGH THEY HAVE GOTTEN A LITTLE TOO MUCH FACE TIME (BRETON WOULD BE ASHAMED), THEY STILL HAVEN'T LOST THEIR APPEAL. A CLICHE OF SELECTION STRIPED MOMENTS, BOTH PERSONAL AND ICONIC FROM HERE AND THERE:

WORDS,WORDS, WORDS.

SUSI WEARS ALIX OF BOHEMIA 'SLOAN' DRESS IN CABANA STRIPE WITH SEERSUCKER PIPING. PAIRED WITH A OF B BUNNY BELT, HAND-PIECED AND FINISHED WITH WOVEN RIBBONS.

SWEETEST SUSANNA (OUR LITTLE ITALIAN ACTRESS AND VEGETARIAN CHEF EXTRAORDINAIRE) MODELS HER FAVOURITE FARMER'S MARKET ATTIRE FOR LONDON SUNDAYS. WE FIND IT A RATHER SPLENDID ALTERNATIVE TO CLOGS AND DUNGAREES (THOUGH THERE IS CERTAINLY A PLACE FOR BOTH ITEMS IN OUR WARDROBES AND OUR HEARTS).

THE DANDY IN BANGKOK, SPORTING CUSTOM ALIX OF BOHEMIA BIRI SHORTS IN KAFFE PRINT COTTON.

NAMED FOR THE SWEET SPOT WHERE SUMMERS WERE SPENT BAREFOOT AND SALTY (WITH A SIDE OF DEL'S FROZEN LEMONADE AND SOME CHOWDER, PLEASE).  THE 'BIRI' SHORTS ARE MADE TO ORDER FOR THE BOYS. THEY SIT WITH A MEDIUM RISE, AND WE LIKE THEM WELL ABOVE THE KNEE- A LITTLE NOD TO THE RIVIERA.

BOHEMIANS: ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER

WHAT CAN I SAY? THE WOMAN'S GOT STYLE:

I LOVE THE WAY YOU ARE ABLE TO SEE BEAUTY IN THE MOST UNLIKELY OF PLACES (LIKE SEWER GRATES).

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY.

MAMAN'S HAND PAINTED CERAMIC ROCKS, MOLDED FROM BLOCK ISLAND BEACH ROCKS.
