Some rest


Everyone has his favourite time for some summer rest. For me it is in July : the month is not as hot as August, and I have a lot of time before going back to work. Together they are the perfect ingredients to enjoy  spare time!


I like going to the  city of Cuneo which is not too far from where I live . It's a nice city.
Besides, there is at least a very good reason for a brief visit.
Are you wondering what it is? Well, my answer is...because there I can enjoy what I call my "perfect breakfast" !



Do you have a perfect breakfast?
Mine takes place in  pastries. 
( you can imagine what kind of breakfast I am thinking of ... not the proper one when you are on a diet!  )
In Cuneo, when I have the time, I don't miss the pleasure of a sweet break!! 


 When I was there, the other day, I decided for a walk. This is a very tidy city. And the inhabitants always find the way to make it really cozy and hospitable!


(Those chairs were so beautifully placed that I didn't dare sit on them! )


I found funny decorations in some streets


( Another touch of local creativeness ) 


At the end of the tour, I felt ready for my breakfast. But the worst disappointment was around the corner : my favourite pastres, where they sell the most delicious kind of chocolate pastry, was closed.  
They were on holidays.


Of course it was a pity, but I could have my breakfast in a different place.
I hope that you too are enjoying the summer!



( In any case I will go again, just to glance ... maybe they will be back from holidays ... )

  2. What an amazing building you are posing in front of. Love the boots with the flowers too. And you are dressed effortlessly chic as always. What a pity your favourite breakfast place was closed. I would have loved to see that breakfast ... xxx

    1. I am extraordinarily fond of chocolate and I can't keep it at home! ( too difficult for me resist to the temptation! ).
      Now and again I eat great quantity of it and then ... I feel guilty!!

  6. Oh Dan, that is a shame! What a lovely place though, I enjoyed see those creative shots! Love the skirt, tee and gorgeous bag, a great look, not to dressy and not too casual- just right
    Now for proper chocolate croissant and espresso!

  7. With a breakfast like that I would be fat within a couple of months. I know how little you eat, so you can do it. But I eat all the time haha.
    Your skirt is beautiful. As always you look elegant and I envy you for that.

    1. It's funny how I sometimes love the routine! No other place seemed to be adequate for my breakfast!! ( and this is very silly of me!! )

      Cuneo is a beautiful city indeed ...

    1. The bag has a cute animalier print and it is easy to match. Besides, since it is made from gum is also very light weight!

  10. You go girl!!! Yellow is great on you! I am coveting the striped skirt too. I love the animal skin print pared with stripes. You must be a fantastic interior decorator, because you have a fearless approach to color and pattern. Hugs dan!
