We think it all the time Gai!

"It wasn't the carnage behind that gave me the horrors but the woman in front of it.
"Can't our leaders be stylish? With popularity waning, she needs every card up her sleeve."

Rainy Day

One of my favourite agents told me about this site a few weeks ago, and I guess a rainy day is the perfect time to sit, read books, flip through magazines and trawl websites, all done with numerous cups of tea.

Mother Knows Best...

Including how to look neat and tidy even when there is nothing in the cupboard to eat, and no money left in the emergency tin - like Kate Winslet does in her title role in Mildred Pierce.

A uniquely independent woman, Pierce finds herself divorced and struggling to carve out a new life for herself and her family during the Great Depression in the HBO five-part miniseries directed by Todd Haynes. Based on the novel by James M. Cain, the drama co-stars Guy Pearce, Evan Rachel Wood — and Pierce’s classic wardrobe.

Head-to-toe shades of salmon complement nearly every skin tone and add a dose of cheer to even the most intense mother/daughter conversations.

Keep your mane in check during top-down day trips with a silk head scarf. Put on a pair of tortoiseshell sunglasses to shield peepers.

Some clothes never go out of style — like a long button-down coat in a neutral tone. The casually elegant staple can be dressed up with a floral frock or down with jeans and loafers.

Hellenika

Had a charming dinner for two on Sunday night at Hellenika.

Spotted it on our drive up and down the coast and we were delighted with everything.

Gorgeous to look at, incredible service and the food delicious.

Blue-and-White China

I was reminded of just how fabulous blue and white china is when I served tea and cake to one of my clients last week using big sister's china.

Blue-and-white china has long been something that comes to mind when we think of classic design. Here, 12 different patterns are mixed together. Separately, they are beautiful and refined; together, they are utter bliss.
