FRINGE GLAM YOU NEED IN YOUR CLOSET NOW

“Dress like you are already famous.” Audrey Hepburn

It’s impossible not to notice that the Wild West fringe is a major theme this season.

Fringe can take on many forms, from leather to yarn to metallic to beaded to denim. It can feasibly be added to pieces that are relevant to any season, handbags, accessories, dresses, and outerwear. Given all this and its impending popularity, it’s worth investing in a piece or two and it doesn’t hurt that it’s basically Instagram gold.

If you have been looking for a cosy country retreat in beautiful countryside, the Baiting House is the place. Based on the Herefordshire Worcestershire borders at the top of the hill climbing out of the Teme Valley this welcoming boutique house has conquered my heart.

5 THINGS YOU PROBABLY DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT WINE | SECRETS OF ROBERT MONDAVI TWIN OAKS

“Making good wine is a skill. Fine Wine is an Art” Robert Mondavi

Napa Valley is one of the world’s most highly regarded regions for wine production and tourism.
The area was settled by a few wine families in the 1960’s who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish and they were certainly right. The Napa Valley brought worldwide recognition to California winemaking.
