Everyone, it seems, is wearing the ‘PEPLUM’ Kate Middleton (The Duchess of Cambridge) Emma Stone and Jennifer Aniston all in the peplum mode. Frilly, feminine and a hot new trend… suggested by fashionistas as flattering, probably true if you are in fact a stick insect or one of the above lovely ladies. Paris Fashion Week, which is let’s face it the crème de la crème of all the fashion weeks, have designers like Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, and Valentino showing their Spring 2012. Gay ‘Pariee’ showed that pretty peplums are the must-have silhouette for next season. The peplum is also the hottest red-carpet trend in … Read More »
There can be something really dangerous about texting, messageing, emailing, tweeting … it is the BIG problem of NOT being understood! You can’t get over irony, sarcasm or humour… in a text or email, what sounds amazingly witty inside your head can read like sheer drivel or simple rudeness, ….the keyboard is not always your friend.. I recently ‘nearly’ upset a very good friend via email…. what I thought was harmless and witty banter for her was weird and bit to brutal.. later found out she was having a very bad time with her other half and wanted love, affection and massive amounts of sympathy, … Read More »
A Perfect Husband Several men are in the locker room of a squash club. A cell phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen. MAN: “Hello” WOMAN: “Hi Honey, it’s me . Are you at the club?” MAN: “Yes.” WOMAN: “I’m at the shops now and found this beautiful leather coat. It’s only £2,000. Is it OK if I buy it?” MAN: “Sure, go ahead if you like it that much.” WOMAN: “I also stopped by the Lexus dealership and saw the new models. I saw one … Read More »

I have a friend, in fact one of my very best friends, she always looks beautiful and impeccably dressed, the main differences between us is I am a domestic slut she on the other hand is a goddess. I do the cleaning in my PJ’s or crappy old tee and sweats…(that really should be in the bin by now) and she looks amazing in old jeans and a tee…. She works to a budget so I can’t moan on about money… she does have the knack of putting things together beautifully, make-up, skin care, clothes and interiors. When I went to visit a few … Read More »

All About FOXED GREY The Curious and subtly descriptive named ‘Foxed Grey’ was set up by Steve and Fiona Lewin initially as an online business. I found the web site so inspiring and as we try to always bring you the best… I had a chat with Fiona about FOXED GREY. Having started their passion looking for unique, vintage, and industrial find in and around the San Francisco Bay Area in California for many years found themselves returning to England. Once there they set up an Antiques Showroom in Chiswick, West London, and continued the tradition and became decidedly specialised in finding French distressed … Read More »

SELFRIDGES & CO, MR DANIEL MAXWELL, GOOD JOB. Last week a friend of ours rang Selfridges, the Armani counter, looking for a new mascara and was helped by a wonderful guy called Daniel Maxwell, he was witty, kind and even gave tips about the requested mascaras. Sometimes when you ring the big high street shops you can get a very bored voice who has no interest in what you require at all…they take the money at the end of the month … or you can get a chirrpy girlie who has no idea about what you desire and has no ‘superviser’ there to help…”call … Read More »

We love the total wear-ability (is that a word, spell check say’s NO..still I like it) of this collection, if I could afford it I’d wear it… I love this ‘out for a walk in the country’ look, this could be me …walking the dog with Earl of Grantham around the estate… Off to my office in the City… THERE’S WORK TO BE DONE Lunch with the Gals then a little shopping! Cocktails and romantic dinner for two. Full on party party…or maybe … Read More »
This morning I was listening to radio 4… yep I hold my hands up I loved it… it was a discussion about LFW (london fashion week) I pricked up my ears at one point when the chat turned to the models…14/15yr olds wear size dot, the point was raised ‘why do the designers use this sample size for the runway? The high street put their spin on the designs to make them wearable but if you have ‘curves’ and most of us I guess do… why oh why do it? I know this is an age old question, I love looking but know my … Read More »
