Un-saintly outfits

For this post I was inspired by Sacramento's (always) inspiring blog. When looking for devil or skull-related images I found another interesting blog called T-shirts et satanisme. This is one of the pleasures of blogging - finding out how much imagination people have!

Brigitte Bardot threatens to migrate to Russia too if two elephants are euthanized in a French zoo.

I liked her style, her rebellious self, that she retired when she decided so and her fight for the protection of the animals. She was never interested in the Haute Couture, but only in whatever she liked and fitted her.

I dislike some of her recent political positions.

White fur and some memories

I must confess that I love fur; real and also faux fur. I have several coats and I dream for more, as well as hats, scarves, and collars. The snowy winter we have right now provides the best scenery to wear a long white fox fur coat.

I was not always a fur lover. Many years ago I lived in Afghanistan. Kabul, the capital, was a livable place then. The big fashion among the expatriate community ladies was to have a custom made karakul coat. It was affordable and of good quality, and it became a kind of uniform. Every winter I was surrounded by a flock of black or grey karakul cladded people, for men and children equally adopted the fashion.

It was too much for me and I fiercely rejected any attempt some friends had to make me buy such outfit. During all those years I proudly wore my brown parka and felt unique.

Gift

I made myself a long-wished gift for Christmas. Something I could for sure  postpone for later had I not craved for it for such a long time. It has nothing to do with fashion but all to do with food.
Thermomix is the name and it weighs, cuts, mixes and cooks all in not too big a frame.

The first recipe I made was a broccoli/carrot salad. I mixed 500 g broccoli, 2 carrots, a green apple, a celery branch, 50g sunflower seeds,  20 g olive oil,  20g red vinegar and a teaspoon of moutarde de Dijon. It took 5 seconds to have the most delicious salad.

Glorious Green

My outfit at a family lunch on 1st January 2013. I wore a vintage Yves St Laurent jacket and this green shirt. A colourful start of the year.
