One Day. My Notting Hill Love Affair

My love affair with Notting Hill started some sixteen-odd years ago when a little girl of nine years old saw the movie.



What with the glamorous movie star and the funny English chap who had a penchant for saying “whoopsie daisy” [as do I!], it didn’t take much else to sell it to me. I was in love with the idea of London’s most beautiful neighbourhood.


Then in 2007, when I first came to London, visiting the area was top of my list so we wandered around the Portobello Road markets, went to the Little Travel Bookstore and peered through the gates of the many private gardens. I thought it was all magical.


Now here I am yet another few years later and whilst I wish I could say I live in Notting Hill, at least I live not too far away and can spend plenty of time walking the streets. [And twirling through them when I’ve got the right outfit on!]


Grab this beautiful dress before it sells out!
Considering its Hollywood-esque glamour, it’s a steal! And don't forget my favourite shoes.

From the beautiful white Victorian homes to the pretty pastel shades that fill many of the streets, there is an undeniable charm that exudes from this area.


Who knows, maybe in another sixteen years I can call it home…

Suitcase. Tegernsee, Germany - Travel Guide

Image
I take great pleasure from visiting destinations that are a little more under the radar. Sure big capitals like Paris and Barcelona have their drawcards, but there's something majestic and quaint about visiting a smaller town for a few days. Living a local way of life.    Tegernsee is a storybook little town in the Bavarian region of Germany. It's somewhere I've long wanted to visit - my mum was here in the '80s and has often spoken of its magic and charm. Last week, I arrived. I checked into my jaw-dropping home for the next few days - Das Tegernsee and set up camp in my beautiful suite overlooking the lake; complete with balcony, shower large enough to host a party and bath tub with lookout. Whilst spring had arrived there was certainly still plenty of evidence of winter with bare trees, brisk air and snow-covered ground. I stood in wonder on the balcony of my chic alpine chalet, marvelling at the lake and giggling as a trickle of falling snowflakes landed on my nose...

Style It. August Celeb Street Style

Image
This month’s street style round up almost became an ode to Emily Ratajkowski. Her looks have been so on-point throughout August I feel like I’ve seen her in an incredible outfit every single day. To keep it interesting I thought I better find some other babes to round it out, but full props to Emily – I’d love to raid your wardrobe… Dress // Over The Knee Boots // Antique Ring // Ring Pack Here she is in what I think is my favourite look of hers this month. The golden girl of the moment, Emily Ratajkowski looks so chic in a ‘60s inspired white Zimmerman dress and she’s rockin’ those over the knee boots with flair. Lust-worthy. Ribbed Knit Top // Skinny Jeans // Tote Bag // Sandals // Sunglasses // Cuff Bracelet // Bangle Miranda Kerr does transit in laidback luxe style. If only we could all have a limited edition Saint Laurent tote. Sigh. Loving the ribbed knit and cool, casual jeans; she makes a trans-Atlantic flight seem effortless. Bardot Top // Skinny Jeans // Bag // ...
