Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Peony
Peony Lim, before Issey Miyake, Paris, March 2012.
This is my favourite outfit that Peony wore during the fashion weeks.....chic, masculine, girl meets boy styling. My favourite part? Her hair. It reminds me of a photo I love from one of Mario Testino's books ( I think it might have been taken in Argentina or Spain).
Recreate Peony's look (kind of):
Suit up: Stella McCartney Iris tailored wool blazer + trousers, Maison Martin Margiela blazer + trousers, Thakoon suiting blazer + trousers
Leather neck tie from Peony Lim store (Peony has just added a load more products to her store....this leather neck tie being one of them. Head on over and check it out!)
Hare + Hart Selby Brief oversized clutch, Claire Vivier oversized clutch, 3.1 Phillip Lim 31 Second tri-tone clutch, Valentino Rockstud oversized clutch

Johnny Loves Rosie garland headband, Johnny Loves Rosie rose bud garland, Olympia Le - Tan grosgrain and felt floral headband.... or better still make your own out of freshly picked daisies :)
Paris Fashion Week SS 2012...Hedvig
The beauty of simplicity: Hedvig Palm, after Celine, October 2011.

Weekend Life....A Walk in the English Countryside (Surrey)
The English Countryside....Westhumble, Surrey circular walk.
On a beautiful sunny Saturday morning two weeks ago, we set out to do a country walk from the Time Out Country Walks Guide. I love living in the city but sometimes it is nice to escape the sirens, planes, traffic and crowds that are part of living in London. These country walks are brilliant for getting out into the stunning English countryside for a day, filling your lungs with fresh country air and stopping for a pub lunch along the way (the book gives suggestions for morning/afternoon tea and a pub lunch). And the best thing is you don't need a car to do them - most walks are circular and begin and end at a railway station within about an hour or so of London.
The walk that we did was the Westhumble circular walk (walk 14 in volume 2 of the guide) and it took us through rolling hills, fields dotted with sheep and bouncing baby lambs (they do literally bounce along!), woods with bluebells in flower, a vineyard and to the magnificent Polesden Lacey estate which is now run by the National Trust. We stopped here for morning tea and purchased a beautiful Welsh blanket from the National Trust shop....which I then had to carry for the rest of the day on our walk!
