So let's pop the champagne cork! Here's to you my dearest readers, customers and friends, I am so very grateful to you all for your wonderful support over the years!
The next decade will be interesting, I'll be moving from my mid-fifties towards sixty and beyond, and we shall find out how the accessoires and capsule wardrobe pieces evolve and fare! I hope that you will continue to join me on the journey. For anyone who has been a supporter in the past, whether by reading the blog, following me on social media or shopping at MaiTai Collection, thank you all so very much.
For this special 10th anniversary I thought I'd choose ten scarves and assemble a collage for each one, showing how they have appeared on the blog over the years. Each collage is followed by a current 2019 picture.
Whilst editing and choosing the images, it struck me what a great investment these accessories have been, they've truly passed the test of time. There isn't a bag, scarf, necklace or bracelet that I am not using to this day. The same is true for many capsule wardrobe pieces (if you've been reading this blog for a while you'll probably recognise quite a few of them time and time again).
