I love wearing pearl earrings but worry that I look a bit of an Aunty/Sloane Ranger in them. I’m not sure which is worse. Bring on these puppies that are studs, but at the same time, extremely cool.

I love cheongsams. I don’t wear them much (click here to read the post explaining why not) but I love them for their clean lines and for being the only dresses in existence that manage to be utterly suggestive, yet in possession of a seriously high collar.

Packing for any trip to the UK is, more often than not, a bit of a gamble. You just don’t know what the weather will be doing – bar December when it’s likely to be darn cold.
‘Summer’ can come as late as September and traveling in Europe in June definitely doesn’t equal bathing suits.
What I’ve lived in this time, especially in rural France, has been Uniqlo’s striped boat-neck long sleeved T that comes in a mass of colours. I had two on almost constant rotation: predictable Breton blue and white…
