See you soon!
Beauties, I will be offline for a little while because I’m off on a mini-holiday from tomorrow: to Bali! I’ve not been before but am delighted at the thought of sunning and swanning in a tropical paradise and feeling very, very pampered. See you soon! x *Photo by Rodney Smith. About these ads
My Summer Holiday Lookbook Part 2: holiday style recommendations
September 19, 2010
Unless you have the memory of a goldfish you will remember that less than a week ago I wrote about my holiday packing tips by way of sharing what I packed for the USA and the rules I set for myself (rules are necessary for someone who tends to over pack by getting over-excited and […]
My Summer Holiday Lookbook Part 1: packing tips
September 12, 2010
A few of you have asked me to share my personal lookbook and packing for my summer holiday in New York and California. This is a basic list of the types of clothes I packed: Skinny jeans Vintage denim minishorts Neutral loose tops in cotton or lace: shades of cream, white, flesh pink or navy […]
An argument for vivacious pink lips
September 12, 2010
From The Sartorialist. This photo was taken in Florence but it reminded me of New York City and its proliferation of bright pink lips during summer – and fluoescently-hued toenails. I saw every colour toenail under the sun in NYC, most of which were competing with the sun in terms of brightness. Thinking of electrifying […]
New York City Style: Rag & Bone
September 10, 2010
Bien sur I partook in some serious fashion therapy while in New York, and I will post some more images soon (I promise!) of my treasures. One label I was particularly taken with was New York’s own Rag & Bone. This sort of surprised me because my style tends to be classic feminine and delicate […]
Holiday Style: black mini skirt, chic nude top
July 26, 2010
Garance Dore if you are listening I love you! Well your photographs and sense of aesthetics anyway. Here is another summer holiday style inspiration, once again from the honourable Garance. The other day I asked myself whether I should pack a fitted black vintage mini skirt for my USA August holiday. Too 90s? Too black […]
Holiday Inspiration: Garance Dore’s Montauk
July 25, 2010
One of the places we are spending time in while in the US is Montauk, part of the Hamptons. The Hamptons are such a classic New York City holiday destination I knew I wanted to stay there the moment hubby and I decided to go to NYC. So when I came across this post by […]
Holiday Inspiration: Angela Lindvall in Cuba for Vogue UK
July 18, 2010
Three things particularly struck me regarding this editorial for the June 2010 issue of Vogue UK – the gorgeous styling, artful composition and the amazing makeup. These images do not do those icy-pole stained lips any justice; in the flesh (ie the printed magazine) they are a matte but juicy, watermelony, raspberryish, pink jellybeanish. The […]
Holiday Inspiration: black, white and gold sandals
July 10, 2010
Another winner from The Sartorialist. The potential ‘too muchness’ of gold sandals with black and white animal print is reduced to a mere myth by the simplicity and looseness of the dress (I especially love how it generously circles the shoulders and underarms), her caramel hair and skin, and of course that smile. More holiday […]
