I am not a great fan of making new years resolutions or particularly looking back on the previous year. My preference is to keep moving foward and updating as I go. There is always new informaton being introduced into the system. Especially these days everything tends to be speeding up and I sometimes find myself having to run to keep up. As I write this post I am having to come to grips with the new wordpress update so bear…
Third day in Paris. What is the first thing to do? Have a leisurely cup of coffee at the local cafe before hitting the shops. After our coffees, Susan and I decided to check out the fashion floor in Le Bon Marché. We wanted to see which colours and styles were currently trending in Paris.

On the second day in Paris, Susan and I were up early to make the most of the day. We hit the road running. After a quick breakfast at Les Deux Magots, we headed off to Atelier lumière (Workshop of lights). It was absolutely magnificent.

I met up with Susan of Unefemme and we headed for the nearest boulangerie/patisserie for a cup of hot tea. As the light was still good Susan and I could not resist taking a few…

I have tried to focus on those brands that really understand our desire to continue to look chic and elegant and at the same time feel comfortable in the clothes that we wear. The philosophy of this blog is to assist you in curating a wardrobe that reflects your personality and suits your lifestyle. We…
What would I do without my trusted cosy puffer coat? I find down/puffer coats the most practical and chic coats for winter. If you live in the northern hemisphere, as I do, we tend to have to put up with cold and often wet winters. When I am heading out of the door my instinctive reaction is to reach for my puffer. I like to buy mine large enough, often choosing a size up from my normal size, so that I…
