Every December I always enjoy passing through Place Vendôme to see all the decorations. There’s something magical about the Christmas season in Paris. Seeing the floating trees at Le Bon Marché whilst trying to find the perfect gift. Exploring the Marché de Noël in the Tuileries and taking in the scent of roasted chestnuts. And [...]
Neutral, warm, muted tones. That time when the weather becomes more crisp and chilly. The landscapes and cityscapes become amber, auburn, golden. Autumn is that wonderful time of year when you get to start layering (in a sophisticated manner). For outfits I like to have quite muted, neutral colours but have a dash of lightness, [...]
Musée Bourdelle has just opened its doors to a new exhibition: “Back Side /Dos à la mode”. The exhibition, curated by Alexandre Samson, displays the work of numerous designers - Karl Lagerfeld for Chloe, Rick Owens, Balenciaga, Schiaparelli and The Row, to name but a few.It explores the fascination with the back in fashion, whether it’s [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
The silk skirt can be both casual and formal - it just depends on how you style it. I like to wear it with ankle boots, a thick jumper and a blazer jacket. For a more casual look, just pair it with a plain t-shirt, ankle boots and a leather jacket. It’s a very simple [...]
I don’t usually make New Year resolutions but talking through resolutions with friends got me thinking more about them. The phrase ‘New Year, New Me’ I don’t think is the most positive encouragement. This year I was contemplating why we make resolutions, thinking about what I need to do more or less of in my [...]
