WINDOW SHOPPING

I love to go window shopping, even at night when the shops are closed.  My favourite shop walk is Sloane Street with it's designer shops.  I like to gaze at the Chanel and Christian Dior windows because their mannequins are completely dressed from head to toe - from their hair and their lipstick to their painted nails.  It's like a mini catwalk and an inspiring style guide.  One amazingly fine and springlike evening this week, I looked at the current Chanel window. 

On the left: white dress trimmed with black, gold bag, beautiful high-heeled sandals in black with green snakeskin.

On the right: green jacket trimmed with black with a green camellia on a black flower at pocket level, teamed with a white skirt trimmed with black, deep green bag and black high-heeled sandals.

The black and green snakeskin sandals.

Hair and Makeup

Hair was parted off-centre and smoothly wrapped round to a low chignon, with pearl studs placed in the hair to follow the curve.  Lips and nails were a pale peachy pink.

Summer Beauty Note:  Chanel Rouge Coco Shine is a hydrating, sheer lipshine in a lovely range of colours.  My personal favourites are Boy, no.54, a soft blueish-pink and Liberté, no. 46, an orangey-peach.
