Andalusian fashion accessory
My lovelies, this is my latest fashion accessory....a fan. I'ts cheap, light, and a lots of fun to use, and it's very Spanish (although mine is certainly made in China). I love seeing women of all ages in Granada, taking out their fan from their handbag and making these quick elegant movements with their hand.This afternoon, I had a routine check up at my gynecologist. When I opened the door of her office, she was seated in front of her computer, fanning herself with a fan very similar to the one on the pic above. Next to her, an assistant, a young pregnant woman was also using a bright colored fan to get some fresh air on her face. I knew my camera was in my bag and I was dying to ask them please let me take a picture of you, you're so cute like that! I just smiled and told them, it was very elegant and that we should definitely start this fashion in France.
I left the hospital and started to look for a fan! I didn't have far to go and bought one of these from an African street seller at 3€
of course, you can find more sophisticated models at El Corte Inglès at all prices
I stalked this lady when I got out of El Corte Inglès, bag in the left hand, fan in the right hand....
and when the sun is too hot, you just use your fan to protect your eyes from the direct light. Isn't it a clever elegant accessory?

Fan Lovers : I almost always have one with me in the summer.
I'm loving all your photos, but especially loving the stack with the silver,gold, green metallic.
Ah ... to live in a world where
people wouldn't roll their eyes when
I bring out my fan!
I'll echo Catherine's message to
Keep cool, Lala .... .

I get a few "looks," but maybe I'll start a trend! ; )
Even your doctor and assistant were fanning at the Gynecologist? How funny Lala.
Adore the pictorial adventure of finding your new acquisition AND seeing the lady you followed for a photo~op!
I do have a few fans too (made in CHina), but wish they were from espana!

Greetings from London.
My daughtars have decorated some to give to their teachers as a present at the end of the school year.
I have a bunch of them, and are essential when you leave your cool home to face the hard, sofocating heat at day time.
Myu daughters - 7 and 11- have their own ones.
They aare so usual it's amazing they may be considered peculiar.
:)
I think you have a nice blog, beatiful photos and smart posts.I'm wating your visit.
