I am really looking forward to my trip to Paris next week where I will be joining Susan of Unefemme for two days of fun and photography. Not to mention a touch of shopping. We are both glad that the protests in Paris have now calmed down. We will be able to wander and explore to our heart’s content. It is a tricky time of year to plan a capsule travel wardrobe. My objective is to be practical, it can be…
As I write this post I am recovering from a nasty bout of flu so the idea of cosy comfy clothes is very appealing. The winter has definitely arrived here in London. The days are dark, cold and gloomy so we need all the help we can get to keep our spirits up here in the Northern hemisphere. I am stocking up on thermal underwear.

Double jersey coat reduced from £250 to £175 Tie front silk shirt £175.00 to £87.50 I don’t think I am…
