It’s an Indian Summer, a poetic moment, suspended in time, where the warm colors of fall blend effortlessly with the natural rays of the sun, for a delicious cocktail of seasons to be sipped slowly.
The Indian summer spirit
Before the warm drinks, the comfort foods, the glittering candles and those cocooning plans at home, here’s our guide to make the most of the sweetness of an Indian summer.
- 1. Play outside
Go for walks outside in a forest or through a city. Pick chestnuts and mushrooms. Go for a run, a bike ride roller-skating or do yoga in a garden. - 2. Enjoy terrace life
Embrace your inner Parisienne and enjoy a drink or a meal on the terrace of an outdoor café or a rooftop with a view on the world. - 3. Cherish the last of summer produce
Mother Nature is so generous during the Indian summer. It’s time to enjoy the last delicacies of summer like eggplants, tomatoes or fresh herbs, figs and those first apples and pears. - 4. Love your layers
Wear your favorite summer clothing with a light sweater or jacket before you switch to wool sweaters and corduroys!
Wear your Autumn Colors
Reinterpret the fall colors with a glow finish to bring a touch of sunlight in your beauty routine: Red is the color of sensuality, luxury and passion. Orange represents energy and lightness and brown is associated with earth, nature and comfort. Colorful and sparkly shades that instantly create a sophisticated and feminine look with the perfect touch of warmth and glow.
