En vacances


Fifi and her French alter-ego Sabine the chic Paris girl have gone on holiday. We would like to be going to Paris and will certainly be there in our minds, but the reality is quite the opposite (however almost as French).

To preserve my serenity I am taking some time to get 'everything' in control. I feel pulled in too many directions at the moment. I look forward to seeing you in about a month, maybe sooner if I get through my long to-do list.

Atlas says hi - he is still going strong, and was pleased to see Audrey Hepburn as Sabrina, above, elevating her look with a poodle.

    I will miss you! I was all excited to see a new post this morning only to learn you will be taking a break. A month long sojourn is a tres francais thing to do. I hope you will find the relaxation you need and get through the "to-do" list. xxBliss

    I hate the feeling of being overwhelmed when I have too much on my plate. It is very chic to prioritize your life and to know when you need a break. I hope you get some rest!

    Best,
    Juliana

    Have a great vacation!

    I wanted to stop by and tell you that I wore red recently, inspired by your seductive post, and it got waaay too much attention. Red is a very powerful color!
