Classic and Chic

Style is not just how you co-ordinate your clothes, the height of your shoes, 

the length of your skirt or the brand of your hand bag.

 It's how you walk, talk, carry a conversation and carry yourself. 

There is no formula to personal style,

just one simple rule:

stay true to yourself and don't overwork it.

Remember less is more.

 Style should be effortless, relaxed and

naturally chic.

In Love With Bright Yellow

What a lovely pop of yellow to put us in a happy mood.

Yellow works beautifully as an accent colour for decorator accessories such as:

flowers, artwork, table lamps and scatter cushions.

Decorate with splashes of yellow and 

you'll always be feeling on the sunny side of life!

Let's Make-Up

 

What's there not to love about make-up?

When I think back I can trace my love affair with make-up and perfume back to my grandmother and mother. Thanks to them I have a learnt to make the most of myself and bring out my good features, I take care of my skin with a daily routine, protect it from the sun and above all they have taught me to appreciate the beauty in life.

Coming Up Roses

Life's simple pleasures

Nothing brings me more delight than :-

a bunch of long stemmed pink roses,

a garden full of roses in bloom

or the colour rose pink!

Romantic in Blue

 

 

Love the romantic, ethereal qualities of this inspiration

in shades of vintage blue.

The ruffles, lavish silks, crystal chandeliers, pussy cat bows.

layers of tulle and lace

all add to the celestial quality of thiscollection.

White & Fresh

 

 

I love the purity of white on white.

I never tire of seeing white spaces 

- I'm drawn to them every time.

White always looks fresh and clean,

especially with these simple touches of green.

Weekend Escape

 

 

I'm planning on a bit of a getaway this weekend with my husband

We are going to head down the coast for a night away and a break from routine.

We have been working round the clock lately so we are in need of a bit of R and R.

I am just getting my head around what to pack and 

I'm feeling inspired by this gorgeous Louis Vuitton campaign.

I am loving all the retro-feel, feminine, ladylike dresses 

and it's the perfect opportunity to give my new LV bag an outing!
