There, that is a true story. {The Look}

Bloomers

Once upon a time, down the path of our camping in wind-swept Normandy, beautiful irises bloomed, showing off their pale violet color and proud stems. As my fairy daughter sauntered around them, I could not but marvel at what an exquisite match her bloomers made to this bucolic scene.

Handmade by the lovely La Princesse au petit pois (The Princess and the Pea, remember?) these light cotton bloomers come in blue(s) with delicate white cherry blossoms and are perfect for spring days and fairies who like to run through the fields chasing butterflies and princes. Paired with one of their delicately embroidered blouses, they make flowers bloom along the wild path and bees hum with praising joy.

Bloomers


These beauties are not the only ones produced by the talented Montpellier-based Alexandra who is currently celebrating the 20th anniversary of her brand and passion. For the special occasion, she has asked 20 photographers to take pictures related to the actual fairy tale of the Princess and the Pea by Hans Christian Andersen. The result is a kaleidoscope of personal visions and dreams inspired by the tale and Alexandra's eye for fashion. They are delivered in a charming little cloth bag that I now use to hold my lavender twigs together in my secret drawers.
