I share my bedroom with another person, namely my man, so my bedroom is a long way off from my dream bedroom.  He is not a man who likes girly things or throws or cushions so our bedroom is very minimalistic with teak furniture from Indonesia. The compromise was that I had a ”girls” room, one that wasn’t our spare room or our bedroom that I could decorate exactly how I wanted. 

So I often find myself picking up heavy home magazines, on my commute home, and planning my dream bedroom and here is what I think it might look like:

Smooth legs, glossy hair, radiant skin & bright eyes is what every girl wants but beauty really starts from within.What you put into your body is a reflection of what it looks like on the outside. Probably the most important factor that is sometimes forgotten is everything we put ON our skin should be something we wouldn’t mind eating also. Our skin absorbs what we put on it , straight into our bloodstream so, choosing cosmetic products with heavy chemicals is actually toxic for our bodies. This leads to all sorts of health issues, allergies & body concerns, cellulite being an example.

When it comes to Italy I am just a little bit biased because it’s where I was asked to be someone’s wife and it’s impossible for me to talk about Italy without totally swooning.  I have have since been back, several times, and the country continues to set my heart on fire – the people, the food, the architecture, the wine!  The fact that each region seems to offer it’s own little treasures – Parma for the food, Piedmont for the wine, Lake Como for the beach.

AW13 Trend Alert: Maxi Cardie

on August 10, 2013

Screen shot 2013-08-10 at 11.31.44 I know summer is still here and it’s not really appropriate for me to talk winter knits but it would be rude of me not to share what  fashion insiders already know. . .THE MAXI CARDIE WILL BE BIG.  That means long length cardigans will be the must have item for transition into winter and it really is the longer the better.  So don’t be in a rush to buy your winter jacket because it really will be about layering long length knits as outerwear (at least until they prove useless against the predicted cold winter).

So if you are twitching, just a little, to buy things under the NEW COLLECTION sign do make sure it’s one (or two) of these.
