French Fashion for Summer: Bobo Chic

Just beyond my door in Uzès is a place where whimsy and fashion meet—a dreamy little boutique for “Bobo Chic” that feels like stepping into another world. Teddy bears, teacups, and blooming flowers are scattered among racks of flowing skirts, ruffled dresses, and delicate lace. This is L’Atelier des Ours, where the charm of bobo style—a delightful mix of bohemian free-spiritedness and bourgeois elegance—comes to life.

 

There’s a magical place in Uzès

just steps from my door

with Teddy Bears,

 

 

 

Teacups,

and Flowers

 

 

Galore.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Button-eyed dogs with long floppy ears,

 

 

 

 

 

Stuffed Rabbits, 

 

 

 

 Baby Slippers,

 

 

 

 

…  and  more,

 

 

 

 

 Live together in Harmony

 

 

Of one accord.

 

 

 

  I mean, can you imagine?

 

Rompers …

 

 

 

… and rooms filled with Lace,

 

 

 

 

… Dresses and Petticoats,

 

All in one place?

 

 

 

 

Perhaps Pinocchio makes all the rules?

 

 

 … so that Ruffles and Skirts,

 

 

 

 

 

… Ribbons on Hats 

 

 

… and Frilly Night Shirts

 

 

… are Here …

… where Time 

 

 

 

 

… stands Still.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A return to the Romance Era of French fashion is not a dream. It is alive and more appealing than ever for summer. Thanks to L’Atelier des Ours in Uzès for the inspiration for this post on Bohemian Chic style.
