Head cap or not?

I always heard people say that they did not have a head cap . However, the Hatters will tell you that there is a hat for every head, just to find his.

In fact there are all kinds of hats and it would be the devil do no match. The choice is vast: bibi naughty, exotic turban, headband minimalist rebellious beret, cap titi Parisien, the boater Maurice Chevalier , Panama , hood of a great lady ... There are hairstyles for every occasion and every season. In the summer it takes shelter under a straw hat and winter we set jauntily on his head a cap in true or false fur (animal lovers prefer the second option).

Not a royal wedding would take place without the parade of hats adorned with flowers, veils or feathers. What would be the horse racing at Chantilly or Ascot without the extravagant hats of the ladies? They are certainly part of the landscape.

I am often told I have the chance to have a top hat and everything's fine. It's nice but far from reality because if I do go some hats I refrain, however, choose models that are rather too large to large women. I avoid also berets that I never learned proper placement.

The large mode

mode-grande-taille

Dress large, ie for the current standard is from 44 times of challenge. Unnecessary to go into the shops of big names at the risk of vendors you stare bewildered look as if you were to ask the most ridiculous thing to itself.

Some even less smart and sensitive hit you with "we do not have the plus size" with the air stunned that we could cross the threshold of their shop which obviously is not for us.

Boutique Otallia à Rennes

Otallia shop in Rennes

Well too bad, or rather the better, we have our stores well for us who proudly display on their front "is dressed from 44 to 60" and where we are greeted warmly by smiling people. In stores where I have my habits, vendors are women with curves radiating that you stare with no pity.

The atmosphere is cheerful and relaxed and we seek all the clothing that we will develop. Other customers like us and we dare to leave the cabin without the fear of the gaze bias is so bad.

Never the seller is seeking to peddle us at all costs a garment that does not fall well. She prefers to let us leave empty-handed as frumpy. She knows that we will have better luck another time and a client to whom we will compliment on her outfit will be a satisfied customer.

On the other hand what bad publicity for the shop as to who will be asked where she has been able to buy an outfit that does not benefit frankly.

The Visitation

Visitation outside

The newest shopping centers in Rennes opened November 8, 2006 in the city center. Visitation includes 16 shops, including famous brands such as H & M, Planet Saturn and Intersport. Our men are spoiled with shops and Exxit Book Vol. The happiness of girls is from Mango or even in Berskha.

As for me I confess to having a crush on the beautiful Avenue café with tables set in the heart of the gallery, like a village square, under a canopy are an invitation to a relaxing break.

Avenue Coffee

The shop Brigitte offers a collection of costume jewelry at prices friendly. I always find a little something to please me without ruin me. It is also a good address to remember for some nice gifts.

Mail order catalogs

Catalogues VPC

They arrive in my mailbox twice a year, I'm not talking about small that advertise specials, but good large catalogs of several hundred pages. As soon as I receive them I slip, page after page, armed with my pen. And I check and I check everything I tried without any restrictions.
My husband laughs when he sees me putting little crosses everywhere, it looks like a kid at Christmas with toy catalogs. He did not panic for the addition because he knows that I'll end up storing the catalog in a closet without buying anything. Most of the time I wait for the promotional offers that are not long in coming. The problem is that the article is actually cheaper but it is not always available. It is the misfortune that I have known recently.

Seasonal fever

Twice a year at the same time the fever seizes me. Bizarre, weird, weird you said? What virus is it? The shopping spree that is easily caught during the sales.

Balances

Indeed, how to resist these tempting offers - 30% - 50%, which could be better? I do not pre-register and do the most organized of us but I let myself be easily tempted by a small blast without thinking that I did not necessarily something in my closet to go with. In fact after the inventory of this one I think we will have to go back to find the pants or skirt to match with the famous little above, this great deal not to be missed. Not to mention the shoes, mine are starting to get tired and then I saw that go perfectly and would complement the whole. Missing is the bag but then I'm exaggerating a little, though making eyes at my friend and I arrive surely tend to soften.

Christmas spirit

Each year in early December fever seizes me. No I'm not sick but when the sad end of November I found the enthusiasm of my youth to prepare for Christmas.

The lights of the Christmas market set up Parliament in Rennes

Rennes, my city, comes alive with lights at dusk invite you to stroll. Christmas markets with their wooden chalets attract the barge for a last little gift more or less exotic but it is mainly the gourmet temptations that win the most success. Waffles and other frills are competing for shares of flammekueche, with slices of melted cheese of course the famous mulled wine to warm the bodies and minds.
The Town Hall Square artisans face and offer their works. Prices are higher but the quality and originality make the difference.

As of December 21 the front of City Hall offers the enchantment of a light show not to be missed.
