BURBERRY PRORSUM: SPRING-SUMMER 2014

Does anybody know what :
PRORSUM even means...?....guess I could look it up.

My friend Sonia asked me what the colours are for this spring and summer...
there is no better way to sum it up then by showing her this gorgeous ad campaign:

I couldn't resist adding my all time favourite flowers to spruce things up: Peonies.

STYLE CRUSH: LAURA FANTACCI

....Or as I like to refer to her : Laura FANTA-STIC!

She is the Fashion and Shopping editor at RED MAGAZINE....and I simply love her style and eye for fashion.
She takes " every day" pieces and throws in a hint of pizazz and POW! .....

....FAN-FRIGGIN'-TASTIC!!































My favourite "ensemble" is on the bottom right hand corner: Love...Love...Love the little mink coat slung over khaki chinos with the rolled up cuffs , the beige Chanel quilted handbag clasped just so....revealing a man size watch and the stripes of her cotton top...then of course; the slingback pumps....PERFECT.
Now I have a lil'short white mink jacket;I have never dared wear....I have the chinos that are  my staple, stripey tops up the wazoo, the watch,the bag..(in black...) and sling  backs...
What am a waiting for?
A set of balls ....

....these are a Few of my Favourite Things....

These are staple "must haves" for any woman worth her weight in style and substance....ok so the Hermes Bag probably costs more than all the pieces put together...but if you're not counting...Go for it!
1)  A classic trench coat
2) A khaki parka with hood
3) A classic "mariniere" sweater in navy and cream
4) A grey marl sweatshirt 
5)Cotton t-shirts in white and grey: V neck and round neck
6)A classic Hermes leather handbag 
7)Suede Manolo Blahnik court shoes...in any colour!

Love is in the Air......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KATE MOSS....

...and still as gorgeous as ever.

Cara Delavigne may be rockin' the catwalk and the fashion scene... but Kate Moss is Great Britain's Fashion Queen   ....and picture perfect.

Can't wait to see what she looks like at 50!...hopefully fairing a tad better than Madonna....

ALIAS by THEO FENNELL

I have fallen in love with this exciting new collection of sterling silver jewellery introduced to us by THEO FENNELL...jeweller,rock'n roller...whose main collection has always been "on point/to the point and extremely avantgarde" and..... a little "pricey"...!

So this new and vibrant collection named "Meadow" is one of many that you can find from his ALIAS collection...check out his website. There is plenty for everyone's tastes and great gifts ...even out of the holiday season...

FYI...my bday is around the corner!

" STICKS' N' SUSHI "..... Are you Curious?

What do you get when you cross Danish cuisine with Japanese?...
Why " Sticks' n' Sushi "!!! 
Isn't it obvious?......

As luck would have it,my sister and her husband happen to be friends with a Danish couple who in turn know the owner of "Sticks' n' Sushi "...have I lost you?

So this is how we ended up, on a cold winter's day in the beating heart of London's glorious Covent Garden walking into this spacious, loft like interior....tongues hanging out of our mouths,desperate to savour this intriguing cuisine. 

There are 10 restaurants in Denmark and 2 in London: Wimbledon as well as Covent Garden.
What you buy into is: good,clean fresh food served by delightful,friendly staff who are there to enhance your culinary journey in any way they can. 
Their motto is : "We only employ people with big smiles and small egos"..

On to the food: SUPERB!...there...I said it, we can move on to the pictures...Oh and...
the sticks.... are the Danish part of the cuisine...

*BIG CHAOS SALAD*:...BIG ENOUGH FOR 3 PEOPLE.

A platter with a sushi selection: salmon,tuna, duck rolls...some crunch...some munch .....

Now for the sticks: salmon,chicken wings and pancetta/ goats cheese..(my least favourite) and a lovely side order of fresh daikon.

And to top it all off: 
.....a 4 dessert taster.....

1) white chocolate with sweet miso and popped rice: delicious....
2)vanilla creme brule:heavenly....
3)chocolate fondant with caramel and hazelnut brittle:sublime.....
4)Matcha green tea ice cream with dark chocolate.....nah....meh....forget it.


So where is this foodie heaven?
