US troops make their way through narrow sunken lanes - July 1944, Normandy, France. Most fields only had one gated entrance and were surrounded by high hedgerows, which made them ideal for German ambushes

Carabus intricatus on my treshold this morning !

Blue ground beetle (en) / Carabe embrouillé (fr). My fav bug :')

It's one of the biggest carabs we have here (Brittany, France). It usually lives in huge forests, but Brittany is covered with "bocage" - is there a name for this in english ? Anyway, it means we have trees everywhere, along the roads, along the fields, in every bit of uncultivated land, be it too steepy, too rocky or too muddy. So the little critter feels at home everywhere ! And therefore it happily does its job of terrorizing all the other little critters around (also, it eats slugs)

This week's featured Disney hotel is the Disney Davy Crockett Ranch at Disneyland Paris. As someone who has mostly visited Walt Disney World, the Davy Crockett Ranch reminded me of the cabins you can find at Fort Wilderness. The entire "hotel" consists of a series of cabins in a wooded area that is a 15-minute drive from the park.

I decided to create an outfit inspired by the natural environment of the area and the character after which the resort is named. Although I couldn't find a top that looked exactly like the one worn by Davy Crockett, this Jil Sander top is pretty close in terms of color and relaxed fit.

For bottoms, I opted for a pair of jeans that are perfect for exploring the wooded areas of the property. Speaking of exploration, one needs comfortable and practical footwear to explore the area, so I selected these Bocage ankle boots.

To complete the outfit, I added a brown handbag that is perfect for carrying anything you might need while walking around the woods or parks. I also included a taupe hair elastic to make a ponytail, taking the place of Crockett's famous raccoon hat. Finally, the earrings provide a small reference to the lyrics of the Ballad of Davy Crockett, where it is stated that he was born in the "greenest state in the land of the free.”

Overall, this outfit is a great way to enjoy the natural surroundings of the hotel while also paying homage to the character after which the resort is named. With comfortable yet stylish clothing and practical accessories, this outfit is perfect for exploring the wooded areas and enjoying the parks.
