New York City Bound

_____________________________________

How do you pack for two trips in one go? Dilemma: one carry-on 

~

This weather has been incredibly confusing. One day I'm wearing my summer

coral pants in the sunshine and the next I'm switching back to riding boots and 

beanies. 

Due to arrive in New York in ten days, gaging the contents of my

wardrobe has been particularly difficult. 

How do you pack for a trip? Do share..

Finding the Perfect Fragrance

__________________________________

Tonight I'm thinking about perfume.

Peppery or sweet, warm or floral.. Wearing a scent feels so luscious. 

~

I've been wearing Tocca's Cleopatra in the form of a roll-on and it could not better suit 

my lifestyle.  I'm also madly in love with all-natural almond extract, Tom

Ford's Neroli Portofino and the lilac trees that bloom infront of my house.

Everything deserves a story: How did you happen upon your signature scent?

Rules

________________________

I have always considered lingerie to be an essential part of any wardrobe.

Under a woman's white weekend t-shirt or perfect linen pant suit I hold that there should unfailingly 

exist her favourite under garments. Eighteen or forty-five, women should feel

lush, sophisticated, and feminine − their best selves − at all times.

Jewellery Matters

_________________________________________________

Jewellery doesn't have to be the inaccessible accessory that we have made it out to be. 

There is something to be said about an eclectic collection of jewels be they precious gems, vintage costume, or plastic beads. I think that we need to be more comfortable and more daring with the wearing of jewellery: Layer it, favourite it, string your own and always try something new.

Colour: the right way

I've recently rekindled the flames of passion between me and my camera, Ronaldo. Luckily, he's made his way back into my heart (apartment) and I'm hoping to share some photos of my life 

with you very soon.

Blogging makes stealing so easy. I get a delicious taste of my ideal life through the lens of my favourite photographers and often forget about the lovely, inspiring things that surround me in my own space. Recently I've noticed that we can shop online without actually buying anything, can travel to far off lands without actually leaving our beds, and we can meet the most incredible people without actually having to speak to them. No wonder my wanderlust is going nuts.. 

My reflections usually focus on finding a balance and today I can't help but to question the nature of our love for observation and timidness toward participation.

This doesn't need to be negative.. Just a reflection. 

I think that at the end of the day, even as we suffer through the 

tragedy that we create for ourselves, facing the reality of our 

abilities always comes to an elevating realization: Here we are.

Just as we were meant to be. With so many opportunities.

Strange how something so scary can be so beautiful. 

How do you make up for lost time?

I often joke about the probability of my very Grey Gardens future. 

Lessons learned make you a stronger person, but sometimes the time that you 

let sift away is irreplaceable. 

Learning to pick up the pieces ⎯ or simply leaving them scattered on the ground ⎯ has 

to be one of life's most difficult lessons.

Easter, for me, has always been filled with pretty things: 

Jewellery, makeup, coral pants and chocolate bunnies..

Wishing you the happiest of holidays! 

Now, eat lots of chocolate. Go.

Thoughts

It's amazing that someone can tell you exactly who you are in just a few words..

And even more amazing that these words can make you realize exactly what you need want.

Listen, even if it hurts you.
