Elise

We have been lucky to have Elise shoot the store on two occasions now. It is always interesting to see how other people perceive it, and what they pick out as something special.

More ideas

1. around the neck: no necklace required, fold your scarf in half corner to corner, then knot it at the back of the neck.
2. as a bracelet: fold your scarf in fifths horizontally, then tie it in a bow at the wrist.
3. in your hair: start with your scarf turned in a diamond shape. fold the corners in to meet each other, then roll each side until you have a band with pointed tips. lay the scarf over your head and knot it at the bottom.
4. on your handbag: as if you were making a headband, fold your scarf into a band. bend it in half, then loop it around the strap of your handbag and secure in a knot.
5. on a chain: using a chunky chain necklace, pull one end of your scarf through a link near the clasp. feed it through halfway, then tie it through another link near the bottom of the necklace.

Must have accessory

I love wearing my Hermes scarves as tops, belts, tied onto a handbag... anything really to justify a new purchase. So thought these ideas from Net-a-Porter were worth a look.

Colour

I always love the use of strong primary colour, whether it is in my clothing or in my home.

Everything white with big bold paintings, bright fabrics on lounges or the green from living plants.

These pics came through from a boy who I have only met a few times, but clearly can sense my style! Thanks Shep.


The beautiful blue of the pool, against the striking red and the green of the foliage is so appealing. Reminds me of Hockney and his pool series.




Artworks play a huge role in my life and I have taken great pleasure in buying pieces over the last decade to build a collection that I am extremely proud of. Even in tiny spaces, beautiful pieces of artwork  look incredible. It is an amazing way to make a house your home because it is such a personal choice and usually love at first sight.

J Crew Fall

More colour and more blocking are the order of next fall which is very exciting. No reversing to charcoal and black!

Love J Crews glimpse into Autumn only wish I could jump on a plane to NYC to try on those boots!
