A coat..in ‘fashion’s’ humble opinion, is merely not a coat.. it is a statement, a practicality and more than anything a ‘personality’. When I moved into my newly renovated pad just a year ago, the space in my wardrobe allocated to outerwear may have been meagre if not non-existent. I guess that you can blame the…
You know what they say … never say never. With a lifetime of spontaneous decision making behind me (I’ll put it this way, I’m glad that we’ve put the 90’s behind us), you’d think that I’m the first person to give anything a go, but strangely enough lipstick and I were never friends. Through no…
Certain things in life should remain precious and for me it’s all in the details. Why should men have all the fun, girls can have their own set of jewels too .. pearl rings: Amber Sceats . silver ball ring: Alex & Ernest . circular silver ring: Luv AJ . bracelets: Stella & Bow .…
My parents where probably the first to notice my aversion for playing with dolls and my equal amount of passion for riding BMX bikes. Blame it on genetics or the fact that it’s just so comfortable and relaxed, but I love a good suit .. grey jacket and pants: McQ Alexander McQueen . white shirt:…
As you know, I love nothing more than an all white palette. When you have a beautiful bright space like this Scandinavian beauty, clever hits of contrasting colours make a beautiful visual statement, even when used so subtly. I’m a little bit in love with this space and it’s creature comforts, in fact… I’m sure they wouldn’t…
Hauntingly beautiful, the photographic work of Camille Seaman‘s iceberg series is so mesmerising each image could be a oil painting. As an artist myself I’m always inspired by the work of other creatives and when I recently came across Camille’s work I felt as though I had to share it. Camille Seaman’s work has won her awards…
It’s Thursday so I’m confident enough to say that by midweek around here my general workwear becomes a little more on the relaxed side. No doubt to match my levels of enthusiasm for the less charming side of the business such as meetings with my accountant, web-coding tutorials and paying credit card bills..although it’s fun spending the…
We all love a classic clean look but this season it’s all about the addition of just the right mix of hardware. Take a cue from Stella McCartney or Chloe to enable you to stand out from the crowd.. sometimes it’s ok to be a square peg in a round hole .. black blazer: Topshop .…
Sometimes it takes a male’s perspective to highlight the beauty in the female form. Think artists such as the Impressionist’s, even Henri Matisse for example, a modernist in his own right with a long affinity for bringing to light new ways of observing the female form. In a more current setting and in my own opinion…
Viewing these images it’s hard to tell if I am looking at a feature staircase or an art installation, functional meets fine art in the best way possible. Whether it’s spiral, straight or curved, this Sunday Sanctuary has me suddenly wanting to add a second storey, if only just to for extra eye candy leading to it. When…
In the modern era of accessibility luxury has become personal. Take my guy Sammy for instance, luxury for him is waking up at 5am on a Saturday to find an un-interrupted surf spot with head high glassy barrels. Luxury for myself however, has recently become more simplistic, a sleep-in immersed in soft white sheets.. although sounding relatively mundane this…
Blame it on Phoebe Philo for instilling in us our current obsession .. the statement earring. Referencing the oversized baubles of the early 80’s, a’la Diana Ross circa 1984, but taking on a more modern artistic twist, the statement earring needs to hit the red on your ‘must-have’ barometer this season. Best accompanied with a…
