Forty Eight Hours in Avignon

Avignon is a small city in the Provence area of France. It’s very much a hidden gem inside the walls. I stayed there for a brief few days at the beginning of August. Avignon is known for the Palais des Papes, the Pont d’Avignon and its annual arts festival ‘Festival d’Avignon’. There is a vast choices [...]

It’s a Wrap!

In summer my usual favourite outfit is some sort of wrap dress - made iconic by Diane Von Furstenberg in the 1970’s. They are flowy, light and very flattering to wear as they can accentuate the female figure. I am currently travelling around the south of France so a wrap dress is ideal for exploring [...]

A weekend in Amsterdam

  For the weekend I luckily managed to plan a flying visit to Amsterdam. Currently in Keukenhof (just outside Amsterdam) there is an amazing flower show until May. I stayed at the Dylan Hotel right in the middle of ‘De Negen Straatjes’ (Nine Little Streets). It’s a cosy boutique hotel with a lovely courtyard. In [...]

Summer in The City

I know its autumn now but I keep reminiscing about my summer in New York. So here’s a list of places that I thoroughly enjoyed that you should definitely try to visit if you’re in the Big Apple! In Hudson River Park you can enjoy going kayaking for free! It’s a terrific activity to get [...]

Merci Store

  Situated in the Haut-Marais area is a concept store like no other. It sells a variety of items from contemporary clothing and homeware, to stationery, books and quirky technology. It is Paris’ answer to Anthropologie. It is fantastic for looking for presents or even a gift for yourself! When you enter the building you [...]

The Trench

Whilst it is now May we can still have the occasional bad day weather-wise. I find that the trench coat is perfect for this time of year because it is both light and waterproof. It’s one of those wardrobe staples that can be worn throughout the year by styling it in different ways. So it’s [...]

An outfit to put a spring in your step!

Spring has finally sprung! It’s been a long time coming but spring is finally here. It’s the perfect time to update your wardrobe with a look that will take you from a walk in the park, to lunch outside in the sunshine, to cocktails on the rooftop terrace. I also like to combine soft neutral colours with [...]

Summer Blues

Since the weather is cold and grey, I have been thinking about the sunny days of summer. I have also found photos on my camera from my time in Greece in July. I have noticed that there have been more blue tones in shops and blogs recently. So I thought I’d do a blog post [...]

New York

I arrived in New York to a light dusting of snow, which made this trip even more special and festive. New York is one of my favourite places to visit, especially at Christmas. I arrived late in the evening but luckily I managed to have a quick dinner at Maloney and Porcelli (they do really yummy [...]

Embellished Jacket

This jacket is one of my favourite jackets. I love the intricate and bold details. It is one of those really unique stand out pieces that I had to buy. When you style an item like this it is best not to wear clashing items of clothing and accessories with it but keep things very [...]
