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.
