Orchids were my mom's favorite flowers, but we've had these giant potted cymbidiums forever and I have never before seen them bloom. Because I spent the last 6 years in actual cold climates, I am somewhat awed to be surrounded by this much green and these many flowers in February. And so I am documenting the greenery.
Some accessoires de maman:
This is an old belt I rummaged out of her collection - I wear it every other day. The earrings are by Laurel Burch and are titled "Flying Fish". My great aunt had a couple of pairs by this designer and then my mom stumbled on somewhere that was selling pairs by the bag. I love their art deco/80's vibe. I have been wearing them ALL THE TIME for the last 3 years.
Living in/loving my Hunter boots. The hype is fair. Wearing them with the ripstop jacket makes me feel like I should be wandering the grounds of my French or English countryside château to tend the sheep. Sidenote: when I studied abroad, my host family actually had a château in the Burgundian country.
I have some ideas brewing for more posts including a potential foray into street fashion. I don't know if I've mentioned that I'm taking a fashion writing course; for homework, I must create 5 posts in the next two weeks. The biggest challenge will be to actually create 5 focused posts. I'm kind of excited.
Until the next time.
Bisous.
those orchids are gorgeous... so fun to see them bloom! love the earrings and can't wait to read your "focused" posts:)
