Slim Paley Photo………….Hello Lilac buds! (and they say we can’t grow lilac in California!)
.
DARLINGS! Summer is practically here already!! The buds are bursting forth, the frogs are singing their hearts out and the days are getting longer (and I’m in a good mood again! )
So in honour of January going buh-bye and the GENIUS of Jean Paul Gaultier, who never fails to put a smile on my face…
A post of some highlights from his brilliant new couture collection and a few green and glorious garden photos snapped today, along with a little appropriate music

W I L D !!
So dinner dishes are clean, kids are watching a movie and I am sitting down to enjoy Slim with a cup of Indian Tea (that I get from a GREAT little Indian market down the street from my office) and a Smore Cookie that the kids and I made this afternoon – life doesn’t get any better. Unless of course I was sitting here like this wearing the second dress from the bottom on this latest blog! I personally will miss this gorgeous weather. goodbye January .. until we meet again.
… and green is ENVY… expressed with only the kindest of wishes that I had your garden, your closet, your style
It seems that M. Gaultier has been watching project runway. Love the green boots. didn’t know Dufy designed fabric. Fantastic! Love, love, love your blog.xo
Luscious and Refreshing—bring it on Spring! Thank you for these inspiring pics!
Happy February Slim – Here’s to the brighter evenings and mornings. Love your latest blog. The photography is amazing as is the fashion – Your garden is as green as the Irish gardens.Our rain keeps it green what is your secret?? I would love to be able to wear all the latest fashion but the Irish weather won’t allow it!!! You are a woman of many hidden talents. Keep doing what you do best Slim – Keep them coming.
Pandora fashion? Very ‘Back to the Garden’ in a way that I could still enjoy a Pimms..or two.
Goodness Gracious Green Goddess!! If I had to pick my favorite pic, I’ll pick the very last one, but all of them are stunning!
The Calla Lily is so beautiful and the Biosil nails, just as fabulous! =)
Simply amazing!
what a horrible tease! more snow expected tonight in chicago…..my only green is envy
so now that my apple cart has upended, can i ask a favor, please? love the feature on your blog of adding the music, one unobtrusive song at a time. is there any info you could pass on to doing that? love that feature!
best

Debra,

The music feature is one that comes with WordPress (for a nominal fee of course
If you are on WordPress I believe you will find it in “Upgrades”. It is relatively simple to link to music in your itunes from there. I would imagine Blogspot has an equivalent feature.
Good luck!
Lavish, creative, and impressive post! Just what’s needed with the 30 degree temp. and 8 inches of snow on the ground outside. Thanks!
Ahhhhh. Lilacs. How I love lilacs. I will have to wait until May here in North Idaho. Until then I’ll just look at your photos……………
Delicious eye candy…every.single.thing. I die for those cowboy boots, and
your garden is gorgeous. Wonder if Biosil will work for my wretched fingernails? I may give it a try. Thanks for the glorious green….still brown and cold here
in the Rockies, and our spring starts in May….sigh…..
Oh I wish I lived in that lovely warm climate and not in snowy Montreal. Beautiful garden and clothes…another great post. Thanks slim.
I’m putting a palm in my hair as we speak
I love seeing your nature to fashion comparisons — beautiful. I think I shall go weave together a little frock for this weekend!!
Catching up on the older posts-
the two bags are out of this world- I love function from nature that is not overly humanized-
those are perfect- wonderful post
loving them all
