For some reason the Breton stripes of my closet called to me as I was packing for Monte Carlo this season. There's something about that French Riviera that has me going gag for a horizontal stripe. In reality, there's no coincidence there at all. Get ready, I'm about to give you a mini history lesson on the Breton Stripe and why it fits right in on the French Riviera.
First of all, the Breton stripe was actually developed as a uniform for French sailors - if they ever fell overboard, the stripes made them easier to see. So this fashion icon actually has a practical beginning. Who would have thunk it? So truly, it finds its home at sea already. However, it was the uber genius of Coco Chanel that made this a fashion staple for the holiday set on the French Riviera. It was introduced as part...

Why you need to see the Grand Canyon
I've actually been to the Grand Canyon before. Last year I went on a Trek America with some pals and it was awesome but I was also tired, broken and felt like I didn't appreciate it as much as I should have done and it was something I really regretted. I knew on my recent trip to the US I was going to make the 4+ hour drive from Vegas to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and appreciate it properly.
It’s weird as you walk onto Bright Angel trail to make the epic hike down to the bottom. You soon realise you’re stepping on rocks that are like a million years old. Rocks that have been there since the dawn of time while the dinosaurs trotted over and probably perished on at some point too. You’re stepping on a part of history and thats pretty bloody cool.
It’s hard to capture the beauty...
What A Difference A Day Made
Every new day is an opportunity to start over again.
2016 has been kind to me so far, small and big changes that I’ve lived to embrace. I think the biggest lesson has been that you are never fully ready for the things that come at you, this is exactly when life tends to thrown you the ball. Maybe to keep your senses alert or because a rehearsed catch is never as fully lived as the spontaneous one. I believe a large part good happenings is us getting rewarded for the risks and sacrifices we make, I’ve seen a lot of them lately, on the love front, job front and with my overall inner thoughts.
I am talking about changes that don’t happen over night, from everything to being kinder to myself, to learning what it means to be present in my current life. These are things that we...

I hardly took any snaps this time I was on holiday this time around and Im kicking myself now Im home and having a severe case of the holiday blues. I also have the post holiday sickness (????) and feel like a bag of poop to boot. If you want to see any of the snaps I took last year when we stopped off in Seligman last year then you can see them here.
W/E though, I thought I'd share the outfit deets from my Insta against this cool American flag wall. When I saw it I was like dingdingding I've hit the instajackpot right now (although I didnt hit any jackpots while in Vegas though, sadtimes). I just knew it would be so perfect for a snap or two!
I really recommend stopping off in Seligman if...
Window Watch: Tiffany & Co. London celebrate the romance of New York
Perhaps this is just me being biased, but I do believe New York City is one of the most iconically romantic cities in the world. Sure, plenty will say that honour belongs to Paris, Venice or perhaps even London. For me, it will always be New York. Give me spring blossoms, picnics in the park and shopping in Bergdorf's and I'm one happy lady. I suppose this is why the windows of Tiffany & Co. on Old Bond Street drew me in like a moth to a flame.
The windows for Spring at Tiffany's this year are all about capturing a New York Romance, and naturally showcasing some beautiful jewels alongside the main theme. After all, nothing says romance like a little blue box, right? Tiffany's windows showcase romance in the most romantic of New York settings, featuring everything from the Brooklyn...
