Spectacular Santorini!

I have just found heaven on earth – it is off the coast of mainland Greece, on the island of Santorini.
Beautiful doesn’t even begin to describe this paradise. I am in love, obsessed, already thinking about when I can go back…

The dramatic cliffside dotted with white grecian architecture provide an amazing sight with the bluest backdrop of the Aegean Sea.
Literally, a summer playground like no other.

Summer dreaming…

I never want to leave!

White on white, with white!

I could stay up here for hours…

Soaking up the sun.

Greek paradise…

Perhaps I can find a way to “work” remotely from there each summer?
Wish me luck!

Shades of summer

Jul27

What could be better than lazy sun filled days? Summer is just the best!!
From simple minimal makeup to your outfit, neutrals and pastels are the perfect compliment..

Lazy summer days

Loving these nude Armani pointy pumps for sophisticated summer casual.

Looking after suede, hmmm…

Minimal makeup. Les Beiges for cheeks and a nude palette for eyes (with just one quick application of mascara)!

Highlighting your summer glow with just a dash of makeup!

Love a light (but slightly pink) nail.[/caption]

Beautiful detail on this sleeveless blouse makes it less casual, while still keeping you cool on hot summer days.

Sun, fun and…comfort.
Summer tank with shorts and comfy shoes. Perfect for a day full of walking around seeing the sites.

I previously talked about mix and match pieces when you pack – it can be a whole new outfit with just a top change!
It’s all about maximising that suitcase space.

Travel Time

Jul13

If you have a love for clothes, shoes, handbags, accessories… or ALL of these… there is one thing that scares you more than humidity for curly hair. Packing.
First of all I am not, I repeat NOT, a clairvoyant. I can NOT see into the future. How am I supposed to know what I will feel like wearing tomorrow or the next day??????

So while I can’t take this pain away completely, I will share some tips to try and at least ease the pain of packing.
(1) Claim as much luggage space as possible if you are travelling with a significant other
(2) Pick one or two colour themes
(3) Try a few pieces that are easily “mix and matches”
(4) Avoid changing climates if possible (when going from hot to cold packing those massive jackets takes up WAY too much shoe space)

With the above in mind, I went with a lot of red-white-blue recently for my 4th July trip to Nashville.

Dress up casual with a cute top and nice handbag!

Yes i love heels – but comfy travel shoes are a must!

A mani just makes you feel better – this one 4th July themed!!

Airport boredom…

Longer sleeves keep you warm if the plan is overly air-conditioned (though with split sleeves that was questionable lol).

Wanted Wednesday

May7

This week I am dreaming, drooling and obsessing over these epic CHANEL shoes.
They have taken the classic black pump — to the next level!

Pumps that I simply must own.
May sell non-vital organs to fund…. Hmmmm…

Just a splash of pink!

May4

Just a tiny bit of pink, goes a long way!

This outfit all started with the shoes. All pink base, then dipped almost entirely in black leaving just a peep of pink at the front — so fun!
Loved this concept of just having only a tiny dash of the feature colour, so applied it to the remainder of the outfit.

Beige & Black

Apr22

As the promise of springtime hangs in the air, one can now be brave enough to leave the house without the huge winter coat.
However, later in the day as the sun prepares to set, the weather does still require that one additional layer of warmth. So, another furry vest it is 🙂

I stumbled upon this ombre vest (mixed up amongst skirts at a sale) just a week after my shoe purchase.
The two match perfectly, and I love this combo! The soft fur and ombre colouring contrast with all black really well.

It’s in the details – nothing is overlooked by CHANEL!

A plain black shirt dress can work with most anything #musthave

Ombre furry fun!

Loving my new shadows!!

Finally – fun in the sun!

Mar23

After a long NY winter where the Polar Vortex introduced itself, it was a very welcome change to finally be enjoying a weekend outside on a deck with some sun. No puffer jackets required!!!!

This weekend look was built around my favourite pants at the moment, the AG Stilts.
I am obsessed with them. They are flattering, comfortable – and I want them in every colour.

The complete look – with open toe wedges Yay for warmer weather.

AG Jeans – in sateen finish. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Valentino bag with gold hardware

Over the shoulder

NY rooftop fun in the sun

Cross body works also – versatile Valentino 🙂

Love the pleats on this shirt

Furry vests are awesome, always.

Leather & Lace

Feb2

Taking a bit of a walk on the dark side in all black leather and lace…
All black does not need to be goth, and is prefect for the glorious winter day outside.

Testing out this cute faux leather skirt before I invest in a real one.
Thoughts?

I love the leather details on this winter coat!

From Paris with LOVE

Jan20

Firstly, apologies for the long time between updates. It has been far too long!
It has been a crazy few months and I have not been able to spend time on blogging.
It’s a new year however, and it comes with new updates for the blog!

As a start 2014 I wanted to share my Parisian adventure with you all.
I was fortunate enough to visit late last year.

Paris is one of my favourite cities in the world.
Spring, summer, autumn, winter – it really doesn’t matter.
