OOTD and some new bits and bobs.


Selfie of my OOTD

Cut Loose top
 Zella skinny pants
Jessica Simpson flats

I've been wearing comfy clothes more frequently since Mother passed away.
I crave comfort in all the areas where I have control.
Clothing is one area where I abhor discomfort...


I could not resist this classic Saint James raincoat.
It is lightweight and a very comfortable and sensible choice for our April showers.


I am smitten with this line of garments designed in France.
Their Breton striped tops are wonderful and they make some fabulous sweaters and coats...
You may remember that I bought their navy and white striped brolly 
a few weeks ago.


I spy a new gadget in the Humble Bungalow...


this wee machine makes quick work of pills 
found on cashmere and wool sweaters
it is fast and easy to use.
I give it two thumbs up!


a soft scented candle recently found its way into my shopping basket
I love roses and our garden roses are still at least a month away from blooming
so I found a way to imbue the home with the scent of roses...
cheating a bit, I know,  but that's fine by me!


The spiky ball that we use at Yoga is now working overtime to help me at home.
It is amazing how this wee thing can loosen up hips and rid shoulders of tension.

It works really well on the balls of the feet too...
just go easy until you get used to the sensations!

In other news...
the view from here is dramatic.
The driveway has shrunk and our fence has too. 


We consider ourselves kind and decent neighbours...
so we have allowed a portion of our fence to be removed 
some of the driveway has been "loaned" 
to the developers 
to allow them to excavate with ease at the property line.


Deep holes have been fenced off so that no one falls into the pit!


Looking out the window you can see the site which is ready for construction to commence.

Which we have been told will be any day now...


On the past post I asked for books suggestions 
I was most surprised as you went above and beyond my expectations.
Thank you!

Hope that your week is ticking along nicely.
Cheerio from The Humble Bungalow.

White Wednesday and Breaking the "Rules"

The Fashion Police might consider citing me for this infraction....
I admit that I am breaking the rules...and do so with gay abandon!

Hint Hint...It's white Wednesday.


It's the rule about white...
are you familiar with that rule?


Hey Girlfriend...
these jeans are soooo comfy.
(they go with so many things that are hanging in my closet)

So why not wear white after Labour Day?
I have not retired these jeans to the "off season closet" just yet.


The COS striped Tee purchased in The Marais district of Paris.


New purchase from The Hudson's Bay
Style and Co.
Monoprix necklace from Paris.


Bianca Nygaard top 
vintage coin necklace


Cloudveil Merino Tee and Zara shawl sweater vest
J Crew Venus Flytrap necklace


Eddie Bauer down vest and a basic white tee


Tweed jacket ~ Spenser Jeremy
Amalfi shoes
(a dressy affair)


same again but with Coach loafers.


Gap distressed denim jacket
Sperry Top Siders espadrilles

Silver is my current shade to accessorize these jeans...


Bangles ~ vintage, Tiffany, Birks, Boyd Bond, and artisan.




Vintage Belt 


French Connection soft cozy grey top
it looks oversized but really is not baggy
the hem sits on the hips.


Worn with freshwater pearls


Stripes and white...
nautical and nice.


Love the weight and shape of this top.
It camouflages the midriff area which is not as toned as it was when I was younger!


Just saying that if this anemone can still bloom in October...
I can wear white jeans.

Hope that you are having a lovely week.

What fashion rules are you breaking?
