According to the Guardian, today is "Blue Monday".On the 3rd Monday of January universal post-Xmas blues sets in. I had a severe case of the Blue Mondays yesterday. I got within one block of the pool, turned around and bought a bag of popcorn (even if it was organic), I was not best pleased with myself :( Thank goodness for Bill Cunningham in the Sunday Times, always a reliable spirit-raiser. Bill says we should be looking out for fitted shiny, quilted coats on the streets. I saw this poufy number in Paris - really a dress... It reminded me of these poufy, shiny desserts at Ble Sucre....
The second quilty number in - a sort of cape thing seen in Paris reminded me of...
This portable pyramid of macarons...
In fact don't puffy quilted coats have a lot in common with puffy macarons?
Repeated patterns, same shape, same size and puffy. I'm just waiting for a "round" quilted coat to appear on the scene...
Back to Bill's story yesterday. evidently illustrator Antonio and designer Charles James concocted this fab jacket from sleeping bags...
