Me revoil\u00e0 cette fois-ci pour vous mettre en sc\u00e8ne un G\u00e9rard totalement \u00e0 poil dans les rues de Montreuil. <\/span>Eh oui! ce grand classique des patrons R\u00e9publique du chiffon \u00e9tait sur ma ToDo depuis longtemps, mais je voulais quelque chose qui changeait un peu de ce que j’avais pu voir chez les coupines bloggeuses.<\/span>Pour le tissu, c’est un coup de Gr\u00e2ce: Une laine qui date de presque 20 ans! Il avait \u00e9t\u00e9 achet\u00e9 en 1996 par ma cops Andromeda \u00e0 Soho \u00e0 Londres. Il y quelques semaines, Andro m’a dit  qu’elle faisait une vente de tissus car devant s’all\u00e9ger avant son d\u00e9m\u00e9nagement. Je suis donc rentr\u00e9e (entre autres…) avec cette laine. Et la j’ai dit: \u00ab\u00a0Toi, tu t’appelleras G\u00e9rard\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Donc voil\u00e0 mon G\u00e9rard violet, que je porte avec une tenue noire et sobre (je suis rarement habill\u00e9e en noir).  J’ai choisi de ne pas ajouter de boutons. Peut \u00eatre que j’en rajouterai, peut \u00eatre pas… bref j’sais pas.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Here I am again, introducing you this time to my G\u00e9rard coat. <\/em>
\nThis hit, brought to us by Republique du chiffon patterns, was on my ToDo list for a long time however I was forever longing for a different look and style for my version, different from the beautiful versions I had seen so far. <\/em>
\nThe fabric, is a real ‘coup de Grace’: Actually this fabric is 18 years old! It was bought back in 1996′ by my friend Andromeda in Soho, London. Adro told me a few weeks ago that she would be selling her fabrics as she was changing flats.  Of course I went to the sale, and I came back amongst others, with this piece of wool. I said to myself: \u00ab\u00a0As for you, your name will be G\u00e9rard\u00a0\u00bb. <\/em>
\n  <\/em>
\nSo here is my purple G\u00e9rard, that I am wearing with a simple back jeans and top (I rarely dress in black). No buttons were added, I might add some, or not… we’ll see.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a>Ah ouiii! j’oubliais le d\u00e9tail dans le col (je pensais mettre un passepoil, puis la paresse d’aller jusqu’\u00e0 la mercerie s’en est m\u00eal\u00e9e, et \u00e7a a fini  en biais… lol!) .  Et puis, la petite griffe dans le dos, un petit \u00ab\u00a0kiff\u00a0\u00bb personnel que je rajoute maintenant \u00e0 TOUT! C’est comme ma petite touche de designer finale ^^. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ohh I should not forget to show you the details in the collar (I was about to use piping, then I was gained by laziness… the supply store suddenly seemed to be very far away, it all ended with me using some bias tape I had at home lol!). <\/span><\/em>I also added a stylish little label at the back. I now add this type of labelling on EVERYTHING! It’s like my little designing finishing touch ^^.<\/em><\/p>\n

Au fait, j’ai profit\u00e9 de la nouvelle saison pour mettre de l’ordre dans ma garde-robe et faire de la place pour les nouveaux arrivants de la saison. C’\u00e9tait un vrai challenge car il n’y a juste plus de place chez moi, et le probl\u00e8me est que j’aime toutes mes affaires :-\/ .  Il a donc fallu, trouver une r\u00e8gle, une r\u00e8gle qui statuerait sur le sort de chaque v\u00eatement  (oui j’en suis la!), en clair: \u00ab\u00a0Qui reste? Qui sort?\u00a0\u00bb. En cherchant des id\u00e9es de gauche \u00e0 droite, j’ai fini par mettre en place ceci:<\/p>\n

Je profite pour faire un coucou sp\u00e9cial \u00e0 tous ceux qui ont souscrit au blog cette semaine, je pense notamment \u00e0 Ariane, Christine, Mandinef, Michel, Rubita, Charlotte, Brigitte, Pascale, Mar, et B\u00e9r\u00e9nice.<\/p>\n

By the way I took advantage of the new season to put a little order in my wardrobe, and make some space for new arrivals. It was a true challenge as I have no more space to fit a single thing at my place. The true problem is that I love all my clothes. I therefore had to find a rule, some kind of questionnaire that will help me determine what will stay or leave. So after looking for hints back and forth, I ended up with this list of questions. Depending on the (honest) answers, the attire would either stay in the closet, or leave! Try this out, it really works well. You might decide to remove or add questions, depending on your priorities for your wardrobe.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
