France 2012


After a long absence, hopefully a somewhat normal service shall resume here at House of Harps. I've been busy finding, buying, decorating and moving into a new flat. We're nowhere near finished yet but I will try to find the time to update when I can. For now, a few snaps from my summer holiday to the south of France. The summer months aren't terribly exciting for me- I prefer the layers and warm colour palette of Autumn and Winter- but I did my best to maintain elegance during the intense heat!




^ the villa we rented came with a cat; pretty awesome idea. Mischka thoroughly enhanced the holiday.



^ trompe l'oeil paintings covered this town



^ my Zara sandals sparkled so much in the sunshine










^ really thin château 



^ spot of shopping in a 1920's fringed shawl converted into a blouse



^ pretty badass car... the couple driving around in this looked like they were having the time of their lives. 


^ inappropriate bikini shot... the water was so so blue










^ my boyfriends Liberty bug shirt I bought him for our anniversary.

I came across your blog searching for the body jewellery Erik Halley made for Lagerfeld and I am completely mesmerised by your style. The color and material combinations in your outfits are just perfect. I am not familiar with vintage treasure hunting but I have never come across someone who has such impeccable taste. Sometimes vintage-wearers seem kinda frumpy to me but you totally nail the elegance factor in a contemporary way. I also loved the articles about vintage jewellery (cut steel jewellery? awesome.) and the Balmain dress comparison to guilloche compacts was spot-on!! More posts please!!!
