This is a bit of a quirky film. It is a Woody Allen film after all. Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams are a couple visiting Paris and he finds himself mysteriously going back to the 1920s every day at midnight. Marion Cotillard lives in 1920s Paris and they fall in love. The joy of this film for me is the beautiful star of the show - Paris. Her quaint laneways, cafe … [Read more...]
Everyday Style and the flattering benefits of a full skirt
Lately my old faithful skinny jeans haven't been quite so comfy. A wee bit on the firm side if you know what I mean. So I've roped in some discipline to cut back on the sweet treats. But perhaps that explains why I've been loving a full skirt in the last couple of weeks. They're a bit more forgiving when I'm feeling a little curvier. So here's what my Instagram feed … [Read more...]
Everyday Style on the school holidays
I happily admit that I love pink. It is always the bright pink dress that I am drawn to in the shop, like this one I bought in the Boden sale recently. (By the way, did you know that Boden has the most amazing sales? This was my first purchase from their UK site and I only paid £16.50 for it! (approx $30) Much better than the £99 full price (approx $181). Bargain … [Read more...]

I adore old movies. The 1940s, 50s. Movies like Mrs Miniver, Singin' In The Rain, The Philadelphia Story. Actors like Katharine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, Bette Davis.

And, although Audrey Hepburn only wears one outfit for the vast majority of the film, she still epitomises the effortless grace that she is famous for. Rome … [Read more...]
Diner pour deux
Perhaps it will be possible to schedule a romantic dinner for two on your next trip. Perhaps not. Perhaps you don't even get to share a room with your partner on holiday because you need multiple rooms with an adult in each. A holiday might be when you get to re-connect, or perhaps it's easier to save couple-time for home where there's babysitters you know and trust … [Read more...]
What to pack – The boyfriend jeans
Or, "How to take your boyfriends on your next family holiday" ;) There's been a definite "boyfriend" trend going on for a while now with boyfriend jeans, boyfriend jumpers and even boyfriend shirts in abundance. I was a late adopter with this as with everything. My goodness, Nikki from Styling You was going on for months and months about skinny jeans before I … [Read more...]
What to pack – The perfect t-shirt
This post is dedicated to my new love. The Sussan Essential V Neck Tee. Once upon a time there was a blogger of such style and friendliness that thousands of women heard the call and leapt up to join this leopard-loving lady. Her name was Sonia Styling. And she was good. She had some rocking pleather pants from Sussan that I coveted. I wondered if my legs could hope to live up … [Read more...]
