HOW TO WEAR POLKA DOT

“I don’t think there is ever a wrong time for a polka dot”. Marc Jacobs.

With the ever-growing trends that consume the catwalk and high street, it can be quite overwhelming to stay up to date and even more to keep replenishing my wardrobe. Every season there is a new trend that experiences its huge comeback, so the next big thing isn’t always easy to predict.
From Marilyn Monroe’s signature spotty swimwear to Kate Moss’s polka dot party wear, cute dots are strongly coming back in fashion, much to Cruella De Vil’s delight!

SUMMER THROUGH A LACE LENS

“Fashion is made to become unfashionable”. Coco Chanel

Lace, is undeniably one of the biggest trends this season. It has always had a romantic and feminine allure and its peek-a-boo effect can take you from looking innocent to provocative within seconds. There really isn’t any other fabric that can suggest so many different visual assumptions.

SUMMER BEAUTY UPDATE & PRODUCTS YOU NEED NOW

“There is no real beauty without some slight imperfection”. James Salter

I’m so delighted that the pressure of looking younger is slowly being replaced with the desire to look rested and glowing. I’m a firm believer in updating my skincare, makeup and perfume with the season. It’s hard not to when our skin also changes with the weather. A more radiant, dewy skin has an undeniable youthful look.

OFFICE DIVA | DESK TO DRINKS SEAMLESS TRANSITION

“A woman can be over dressed but never over elegant”. – Coco Chanel

The long-awaited summer has finally arrived! As much as I enjoy the temperature when I’m sat in the garden sipping a cocktail, enduring a sweaty commute to and from work can become a challenging mission that’s not for the faint-hearted.

WEAR A JUMPSUIT LIKE A STAR

“A girl should be two things: who and what she wants”. Coco Chanel

A jumpsuit is, without a doubt, a head to toe statement trend that creates an effortless striking iconic silhouette beyond a simple dress. However, badly chosen it can make you go from a fashion hero to a fashion zero.

YOUR ULTIMATE GUIDE TO CANCUN MEXICO

YOUR ULTIMATE GUIDE TO CANCUN MEXICO

Cancun is definitely Mexico’s showcase resort. Built in an area that was named by Mayan people, long ago, for the large number of snakes in the area, Cancun has been carefully groomed into one of the most polished resorts anywhere. Long gone are the snakes and most of the mosquitoes that might have enjoyed the numerous lagoons. Few resorts in the world have the infrastructure and amenities that were built into Cancun from the beginning. Everything just seems to flow together effortlessly in Cancun.

HOTEL GUIDE | SECRETS THE VINE CANCUN

Though we’ve been to Cancun many times, somehow every visit is unique and Cancun never fails to impress us in a new and amazing way.

We stayed at the 5 star, AAA, Four Diamond Secrets The Vine Cancun, bordered by the cerulean waters of the Caribbean and white sand beaches in stunning Cancun, one of the most beautiful hotels on Earth! A huge claim, I know. But the Secrets is truly breath-taking. This marks our 4th time staying at the hotel.
