I once sat in the back of the car with a woman in front of me (we were taking her somewhere) and all I could smell was her unwashed hair. The memory has stuck with me for years, whereas my dear, elderly mother (who died in 2000 aged almost 88) always smelt wonderful, she always showered each day and wore lovely perfume. Her favourite soap was a French lavender soap and even her grandsons (our sons) said how Gran's bathroom slept lovely. <br />Margaret Pgalanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-45118598457707132732016-06-20T12:04:15.380-07:002016-06-20T12:04:15.380-07:00Yes...Honey Bee mentioned scent...I agree scent is...Yes...Honey Bee mentioned scent...I agree scent is a very important part of feeling chic!hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-21332235426738035502016-06-20T05:48:54.921-07:002016-06-20T05:48:54.921-07:00Has anyone mentioned scent?

Hermes' Caleche, Hermes' 24 Rue Faubourg, Chanel's No 19, O de Lancôme, Mitsuko, or Acqua di Parmsa's rose eau de toilette. Sadly, none of those are produced here in the UK, but I do like some English scents, too: some by the Cotswold Perfumery, some by Penhaligon's or Floris, but none are quite as chic as Caleche or Chanel 19. <br />Margaret P galanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-51892776586299988502016-06-18T13:01:08.249-07:002016-06-18T13:01:08.249-07:00Walking serenely - being/feeling clean, comfortabl...Walking serenely - being/feeling clean, comfortable and unhurried!DeeJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621562078832243084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-43163512618377975912016-06-17T16:42:21.354-07:002016-06-17T16:42:21.354-07:00Oh please let me know your name so I can put it in...Oh please let me know your name so I can put it into the draw!hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-44907008999036776852016-06-17T15:24:33.185-07:002016-06-17T15:24:33.185-07:00Anonymous Please leave your name so that you can ...Anonymous Please leave your name so that you can be entered in the draw.hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-16500396333858552742016-06-17T05:53:01.932-07:002016-06-17T05:53:01.932-07:00Wearing dresses.

Like so ...Thank you for this opportunity, Hostess. Like so many of your viewers, I struggle with chic. It's certainly not a word I would use to describe myself, which is sad, because I so admire it when I see it in other women. To me, chic has a lot to do with hair (styled, glossy, with some movement), so my growing out, straggly bob misses by a long shot. Coping with a recent lay-off, I miss my office clothes. I feel most chic in a dress and heels, but seldom have an appropriate event on my calendar. Perhaps I am also being let down by my shoes. My office pumps aren't sturdy enough for daily chores, and my casual sneaks, espadrilles and walking shoes look awful with a skirt. Hmmm. Thank you for this moment of self-reflection. I've gotten more from this than even from Fiona's current 30 Chic Days series.
