Last Days of Deco

With summer in full bloom, we couldn’t resist a perfect straw cloche for picnic days at Cherry Beach.

You'll recall Mia Farrow as Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby? Well, that’s how we feel every time we wear our Liliput gem (from $145).

Like Jay and Daisy’s wardrobe (Ralph Lauren did the costume design), the colours are soft and pale. We chose an ivory grosgrain ribbon on sand-coloured straw.

Now, are pearls too much for la plage?
