June

June has been an absolutely lovely month. The days have been beautiful and sunny without being too hot, while nightly rainfalls made sure that fields remain green and lush, with flowers and blossoms flourishing everywhere. It's been a total joy to walk the dogs, camera on hand of course.

For most of the time during the last few weeks I've been busy with new projects (coming in the autumn) and products. The development and production stages always seem to take much longer than you think, so I am glad that the new collection items I planned for summer are perfected and ready just in time!

Hope you enjoy the post and have a happy and beautiful early summer xxx

May

I hope everyone's enjoying a wonderful May and the explosion of blossoms and flowers that come with it. Ours has been partly summery and warm, but we've also had some cold wet windy days. My birthday fell on one of those, so we made up for it with a quick trip to Cannes a couple of days later where we had a lovely lunch on the beach to celebrate.

Magical dusk at the Baie of Cannes, when the Mediterranean sea turns into soft pastels framed by the foothills of the l'Esterel Mountains.

My new CSGM Sous l'Egide de Mars and Kelly Double Tour bracelet in Rose Sekura. Wearing the shawl in a cowboy knot, ends secured in a criss-cross knot with a Grande Classique reversible scarf ring in pale pink/gris. Mini bag: Wallet on Chain by Chanel (perfect for city trips and any other occasion when you want to keep your cards and cash extra safe)

Kelly Double Tour bracelet in Rose Sakura with a Guerlain KissKiss LoveLove lipstick in 570 Coral and a Dior Addict Lip Glow color reviver balm in 210 Holo Pink.





Sous l'Egide de Mars in the basic bias fold which brings out the soft pink, purple and cream colors in the centre of the scarf.

Spring make-up additions: Chanel Les Beiges Compact Powder 20, Guerlain Météroides Compact Medium, Guerlain KissKiss as above, Rouge G De Guerlain matte 01 and Dior Addict Lip Glow as above.

I am often asked about my lipstick, and the secret lies in mixing and matching. I use lip liner for definition, but make sure to fill the lips completely to avoid a 'lip-lined' look. My favorite liner pencils are Bois de Rose and Brun Tendre by Mavala. You can match your lipstick to your liner, or experiment by using different color combinations to achieve more depth, and to fine tune the end result to your outfit or scarf.
