STAYING IN THE 600 YEAR OLD HAUNTED MERMAID INN IN RYE

“Just close your eyes and think of England.” Queen Victoria

and is the perfect location to explore Rye, the Sussex Weald and the Romney Marsh.

Going to the Mermaid Inn is just like stepping back in time with its medieval mantrap of secret tunnels, priest holes and passages, low-beamed ceilings and hallways which give it a particularly atmospheric appeal.

Undeniably one the most atmospheric hotels in Britain.  If you want to stay in a quirky, quintessentially English, historic hotel, then the Mermaid is for you

THE PERFECTLY IMPERFECT ASYMMETRY YOUR WARDROBE NEEDS

“One is never over-dressed or under-dressed with a Little Black Dress.” Karl Lagerfeld

One of the hottest timeless trends is asymmetry, the trend that says a lot more about your personality than any style that has come before.

I personally can’t get enough of this edgy style, it’s all about being complicated and breaking away from the rigid lines of perfection.

The off-center look with such a mishmash of lines and irregular cuts is incredibly mesmerizing and eye catchy, which is probably why it’s being so widely embraced by everyone.
