Carcassonne 2013


Just a few snaps from my trip to Carcassonne at the beginning of June. The Southern French town of Carcassonne kept us equally intrigued and relaxed with its fascinating Medieval history and beautiful surrounding countryside. I'll post a few more outfits and shots of the area in the next couple of days!

I fought long and hard to win this mustard cape/loose jacket with black embroidery off of eBay. The mustard hue and Art Nouveau embroidered designs made it a worthy purchase though.

Crazy beautiful Zara silk 'Oriental' print trousers paired with a beautiful antique embroidered bag I bought last winter and have been waiting for some sunshine to use. The motif on the front is beautiful in both colour and design, and the metal frame is adorned with a rather interesting pastoral scene and male figures (Dutch perhaps?).

Finally, a couple of dedications to the glorious Nicole over at Fashion Forestry. I would love to see her in this 1920's cocoon coat with floral lining...


...and if she weren't already married, I'm sure this little 1920's garter would make such a cute wedding gift for her!


Phew, long post! Any favourites?
I don't own any of the pictures, they belong to their lovely respective eBay sellers.
