The South of France has always held happy memories for me, with its more relaxed pace compared to the cities, warm architecture, colourful landscapes, farmers’ markets and small cafés in which to while away the hours. I’ve been going to the South of France since I was a child and while I was there this year [...]
I love the look of wearing a shirt over swimwear – just throwing it over a bikini or swimsuit. Perfect to get through summer whilst tanning without burning. The shirt is something that is loose, light but still sophisticated. And choosing one in a bright colour makes it not too formal. I have always loved [...]
The idea of wearing knits in summer sounds rather odd, you might immediately think of cardigans and jumpers. But recently I bought some knitwear pieces, and I can’t wait for winter to wear them. For some reason summer knits remind me of the Côte d’Azur and Brigitte Bardot in the 1950’s. I’m always looking for [...]
Symi is a Greek island in the Dodecanese, known for its colourful and cheerful looking houses. I have come to Symi every year since I was little, so I’ve seen it develop a lot over this time and become more popular with travellers. There are so many things to do in Symi, you will never [...]
Paris in the summer has something special about it, more than any other city I’ve visited. Usually I don’t get to stay in Paris for too long during the summer, but this year I decided to spend more time enjoying the city whilst it’s warm. Whether it’s going to the markets in the morning, strolling [...]

The exhibition I visited is called ‘As Movable as Butterflies: Les chōchin du Japon’ which explores the different types of lighting in Japan. The exhibition explored lighting through objects, paintings, photographs and films. The exhibition displayed the lanterns next to the prints, [...]
Bordeaux is a city in the South West of France. You might know Bordeaux for its wine. I went to Bordeaux for a short weekend trip. It is a very walkable city, beautiful architecture, delightful gastronomy with plenty of activities and lots of culture. Contrast cafe is perfect for brunch - their orange, mango and [...]
Now that Spring is finally here I love to wear just a blouse with jeans - goodbye to heavy jackets! I’m always drawn to a silk version. In Spring it’s perfect weather to wear this wonderful fabric - thin enough not to be too warm and the long sleeves are great if you want [...]
I recently went to Musée Bourdelle. It’s a hidden gem tucked away in a quiet street in the 15th arrondissement. The museum is a secret oasis in the middle of Paris, the sense of calm, serenity and quiet makes you feel as though you aren’t in the city. It has a wonderful series of rooms [...]
This is one of my favourite style takes - pairing a blazer and a belt. The blazer is such a key item in any wardrobe and adding a belt really helps to create a tailored look. If you have an oversized blazer, cinch it in with a belt for a more defined silhouette. Depending on [...]
