Rendez-vous

A single word can set the stage: rendezvous gives an uptick to any appointment. Derived from the French second person plural imperative, it translates as “get yourself to…(a certain place).” Sounds inviting. Better dress for it. In something equally suggestive from Jane’s Vanity. Destination? Romance.

For a morning coffee rendezvous: get flirty in the sporty yet lacy Namur Cashmere/Silk sweater from Dana Pisarra in light-weight grey ribbing with ultra-slim fit. And feel great underneath, in Cadolle’s stretchy black Lola Lace Bralette Set. 

To rendezvous for late lunch or aperitif: keep the conversation sparkly in Klements’s Lucid Painter’s Smock. Enliven the atmosphere with its trippy hand-drawn print, floaty silk shape, and voluminous cuffed sleeves. Nice over skinny jeans. Just add dangly earrings and your smile.

At the pretty European hotel rendezvous: synchronize your watches and pack your JV best. The Camo Bloom Bias Cut Slip from Violet & Wren is a festive choice, crafted in oversized magnolia print of black, navy, white, and bronze. Its flattering body is finished with plunging back and stunning halter detail of leavers lace. The graceful matching Camo Bloom Longline Kimono adds the shimmer of bronze lurex trim. 

Mark your calendar for lots of happy JV encounters in 2020.
