SS08-ing in Hyeres
This is rather hasty but I'm finding my time is not mine whilst I'm out here so if you can put up with the shoddiness for a few more days, that would be much appreciated. With The Sart (need I hyperlink? I think not...) roaming around Hyeres and an even bigger fash crowd about this year, it's no wonder that the fash stakes have gone up. Cafe Mode has already started to capture the best of the streetstyle here, as the lovely Geraldine is also out and about (I have a hard time asking people for their photo in English let alone in terrible French...).
However, I will make some very quickie post-it observations...
...a stronger abundance of Topshop seeing as they have started to ship to Europe...
...lots of boyfriend lux tuxedo jackets and by lots I mean practically everyone, with navy being a strong contender to overtake black ones...
...gladiator sandals aplenty both flat and heeled, tan and black, strappy, studded, designer and not...
...ambiguous gigantic leather totes that are unassuming, practical but add a nice silhouette...
...dropped crotch trousers that taper at the ankles and are rolled up a little...
...nude satins mixed with grey jersey...
...nothing faddy like stars/stripes, ruffles or florals (well not much...)...
...and this is beginning to sound like a Grazia report...
...must stop now before I start to believe words like 'faddy' should be in common use in everyday language...
Those Sergio Rossi shoes are 3 seasons old but I still love them a lot (did a shooting with them a while ago).

how cool it must be to just walk around and everyone in sight is so fashionable!

I am loving the bag. The ambiguous and almost androgenous aspect makes it really unique.

Nude satins and grey jersey? That sounds very lovely. I wish I could see an example.

Do you need an invitation to go to Hyères or is it accessible for every fashion interested person?
Can't wait to read more about your time there!

Yey for giant later totes! I love oversized bags :)
Not too keen on the dropped crotch trousers though...

Thanks for the updates. I always wondered how all these sartorialist types just go up to peeps and ask to take their pictures, but I'm glad they do! Have fun!

Ah you mkae me feel so old - I was sent to report on the first ever event in 1985 fresh out of uni, only because the rest of magazine thought it was too much of a peasent place to go - then! How times change and hope your enjoying the beautiful surronds of the medieval streets, perfect for gladiator sandals!

thanks for the quick report! aside from the stuff about not much "faddy" prints, the common looks sound like what the rest of us bloggers are really digging!

A bakeneko will haunt any household it is kept in, creating ghostly fireballs, menacing sleepers, walking on its hind legs, changing its shape into that of a human, and even devouring its own mistress in order to shapeshift and take her place. When it is finally killed, its body may be as much as five feet in length. It also poses a danger if allowed into a room with a fresh corpse; a cat is believed to be capable of reanimating a body by jumping over it..

I love those super strappy heels! However, they don't look that easy to put on or take off!
