Knitwear and checkers

Good morning everyone! I hope you spent a wonderful Christmas. After a much anticipated mini-break, that as all good things in life, has passed too quickly, and still no snow, today I needed a little style inspiration. Checkers and knitted sweaters seem to work so well together for these cold winter days. My favourite piece has to be the Gérard Darel patched blazer: made of fine shetland wool, chic, modern, quintessentially French, this could easily become one of my winter wardrobe essentials.

    Hello, darling! I missed you and your posts so much! Hope you had a lovely Christmas and enjoyed your much needed break. You always choose such beautiful wardrobe pieces, I especially love the sweaters from 1, 2 and 4 photos and the COS skirt from the 4th picture.

    Wishing you a wonderful day, sweetheart!

    It has been such a surreal winter hasn’t it? Barely cold at all (not complaining too much!), but it really doesn’t leave much for layering!

    I love your choices here and I say yes to patchwork and capes! I hope you had a lovely Christmas and all the best for the New Year.

    I love that patchwork blazer… I still a Dolce e Gabbana patchwork vest/sweater that I bought in the 90’s – love it! It just had an airing last winter too…
    Hope you had a great Christmas.
