Being a one trick pony ain't such a bad thing when that trick is particularly good and completely distinctive. Hope von Joel and Liam Motyer came together with her styling eye and his wood worki...
>> The Diamond Jubilee, the Olympics and all this ra-ra-ra-London stuff all seems terribly alien to me. Having been out of London for well over a month, I haven't a clue what's going ...
>> After this month, I better shut up for a while as I seem to have spent an awful lot of time talking about blogging and not getting on with the act of blogging. First up were the Portable tal...

I did tactfully hint that this year's MBFWA in Sydney was more eventful off-site than it was on-site, with the real action taking place in showrooms and at off-site shows. Ok, that wasn't s...
>> After extending our stay in Bangkok three more days (we were supposed to leave on Sunday), I'm now pretty much all Thai-ed out. That doesn't mean I'm fatigued in any way of wh...
I always think of ladies with double barrelled names with yachts in the South of France whenever you mention the word "cruise". "Resort" is much the same. For a long time, cruise/...
As I mentioned in my last post, I've been struck down in a positive way by what Bangkok has to offer - heat, sweat and all. In particular the sweet treats of the country have had my jaw aching b...
The opening line to this article on Business of Fashion about the coming of a "new aesthetic" made me chuckle. "Instagram, Barbour, vinyl records, artisanal butchers, moustaches, and t...
