Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

Season 4 of Mad Men premiered yesterday in the US! Very excited to watch another dramatic season and I can’t wait to see all the beatutiful 1960’s costumes and decor.

Daydreaming about summer…

Monday, July 12th, 2010

I am so excited about a new book I ordered over the internet a few days ago – Resort Fashion: Style in Sun Drenched Climates. Fashion, photography and sunny destinations, sounds like the perfect combination!

I’m really missing summer in the US at the moment, especially as it’s so cold here (well, cold for us!). All I seem to think about is taking a beautiful holiday in the sun! Since I can’t do that, I’ll just have to wait patiently for my beautiful book to arrive.

IN THE BAG

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

Apparently you can tell a lot about a woman by the handbag she carries and even more so by it’s contents. It’s like a window it to her daily life…….
Nathalie Lecroc has been painting handbag portraits at her kitchen table in her rose- scented apartment on the rue St Denis in Paris since 1998.

She gives specific instructions to take nothing out or add anything to your everyday bag before she paints. She is said to be working on a book – cant wait to see it!
My daughter Annis, who insisted on changing the color of my diary and tape measure to match my lipstick, did this montage of my handbag for me.
