~ Camas ~
My husband and I ventured out to Playfair Park
to have a peek at the gorgeous Native Plants that are in full bloom.
Fawn lilies, Shooting Stars and Camas
absolutely stunning!
A meadow of blue Camas under the canopy of The Garry Oaks.
My ankle injury is slowly improving...
I think it is what Google says is a grade 2 sprain.
Torn ligaments on the outer side of the ankle.
Estimated Recovery Time
3-6 weeks
Wearing the compression brace which really helps and not going for long walks.
Having said that...I am slowly increasing the number of steps that I do in a day.
Yesterday it was almost 6,000.
Met with friends for Tea at the Union Club.
We spent a few blissful hours sipping bubbly, tea and treats.
Such a beautiful spot, views over the Inner Harbour...
great food and superb service.
In other news... I have been replacing lipsticks...
nothing like a fresh pop of colour to lift the spirit.
~ Rouge de Germain ~
Red is my go to colour for lipstick...
when I was in Paris the first time in 2015 I stayed in the Saint Germain area.
The chic Parisian women walking in the neighbourhood all wore red lipstick.
Not wasting any time, despite being jet lagged, I high tailed it to
the nearest Monoprix!
There I discovered a fabulous selection of red lipsticks...
so dear reader I bought one!
Paris holds a very special place in my heart.
I went back again in 2019 and who knows...perhaps I will return :-))
My make-up bag was falling apart so I purchased a new one...
instead of a vinyl one, like my old bag, I chose fabric which I much prefer.
While at the Pharmasave in Oak Bay I bought 2 new lipsticks.
I am test driving a pink shade...
Softsilver Rose
These Revlon lippies are very creamy and go on easily and last!
They were also on sale, which was rather fortunate timing.
I finished knitting The Easy Goes It scarf...
worn here with my old red lipstick...
will be much better with the new rose pink shade.
New fragrance...Honey Tobacco
locally made here in Victoria.
I am enjoying this new scent very much...
body wash, cologne and other honey tobacco are available on their website.
I took a bag of clothes to the Salvation Army and then had a quick browse.
Oh my goodness...I couldn't believe my luck!
I have a Burberry scarf that my husband gave me, maybe 15 years ago. that I love.
It is the traditional beige and wine plaid colourway...
it goes with my quilted Burberry jacket.
The new to me scarf will pair well with my black coats!
New silk skirt from House Of Savoy on Oak Bay Avenue.
Made by San Tropez
This will be a fun skirt for summertime.
Love the texture...
I am thinking of outfits based on the skirt...
a simple white top, my distressed vintage jean jacket and white sneakers
Dressy black tank top, white shawl and my white bow toed Bueno sandals.
Oh and my BIG pearls!
I love a versatile garment!
