Chestnutty and BritAboard, I love the L'instruction du Roy! It's my first, mine is in brown. I have been eyeing the red one too :giggles: but just wondering if I should broaden my horizon. I'm sure there'll be a few more GMs in the future (who am I kidding, a few?).
Now I want something red, bright and springy to chase away the winter blues. While I like the CSMC because I'm attracted to horse designs, I'm wondering if this CW looks more fall/winter-ish because of the blue/navy trim?? Hence the other choices. I'll definitely keep my eye out for the Pique too. Too bad I saw one online just awhile ago but it's gone now.
If you want something more Spring-like then I'd say Pique is definitely in the front running, all of those pretty buds and flowers, to me it epitomizes Spring.
Good luck, Fabfashion, be sure to reveal what you end up falling for!
