Naděje's Got Gingham at Café Névé

Image has been purposely blurred in order to protect the copyright of the designer, or at least to encourage Naděje to send us in another pic!

6th July, Twenty-Twelve (Montreal) Café Névé is basically Gingham Central. Peruse back through our archive and you will see time and again, how this small Café brings in the Gets. Take our friend Naděje here. Actually, don't take her, we want to keep her. Particularly once we saw this incredible yellow Vichy Summer Love Special Naděje uses to shine up every room. Actually, this dress has been known to stop rain showers and thunderstorms on a wet July weekend. For this we are eternally grateful, and forever in Naděje's debt as we can safely plan our outdoor picnics knowing she is out there, helping us, protecting us, the Goddess Bringer of Sunshine.

Olivia and Tom outside Blizzarts... Tom wearing a custom-made Gingham Chavalier nobody in the world has seen.

There is nothing more sensible than wearing decent open-toe shoes in the sunshine, with Gingham.

Who cares what model car you drive when you're running around in Eighth-Wave Gingham?

Who needs a Summer Breeze when you got this thing howling between the trees?

You can't always get what you want, but you can Get Gingham. You should try some time...

Today's caption "This is not a joke" is actually very much an attempt at humour.
