the five rings of peace

It's been amazing for the last couple of weeks being in London. The vibe of the Olympics has been truly electric including the action itself! The people's games is what London 2012 has inherited as being host. The amount of tears shed and emotions galore has been truly epic. So many records, so many achievements stamped into the history books. This will be one of the games to remember for a long time.....

braving black with bags

Yes, my obsession with Celine has gone really OTT. Not helped by the fact that recent bag shapes and colours are oh-so irresistible. Well, although summer has now well and truly commenced, colour is back in, as in fluros still. Therefore, with black still a main wardrobe outfit staple, an accessories spice party are always as essential as the cherry on the cake.

ott and all that spice

Sometimes we do go through our cocoon stages of dressing. Not quite right, not quite on. It is our period of change, maybe due to a big recent purchase or the fact that we have just updated a section of our wardrobe. How do you go forward to encompass everything you have bought into an outfit that is ok or comprehensible? When you are so so excited to showcase most everything? Well, it can be perplexing but nevertheless challenging and exciting with the endless options and new choices and probabilities. I was faced with one such dilemma. Having recently acquired some beautiful pieces of jewellery from the very charming Mr Bernard Delettrez (yes, you guessed it, the father of the famous Delfina Delettrez). His works are breathtaking and so beautifully detailed. I love them all!

your last shoe meal

This was my first Louboutin shoe meal. It was shall I say, quite surreal.... but if it were to be my last shoe meal, this would probably be it. The bucket list of a simple high heel with an amped up colour twist, a red mini heel with Swarovski (of course) and the iconic gladiator in some sort of reptile skin. Delicious, exotic and simply fulfilling. What's yours?

of frames and portraits

I love how frames can suddenly change the look of landscape from a window, a portrait, your face shape, the bag you carry. How it can also be perceived as art. Subtle lines, subtle margins, yet full of impact.
