Martha's Vineyard - Road trip USA part 1

After 4 hours of driving from NY we arrived in Cape Cod- Massachusetts.

Land of the Kennedy holiday home and where the fictional show Dawsons Creek was meant to be set. (Ever since I saw Joey and Dawson sitting on the end of a wooden pier I wanted to visit this magical place!) ...

We booked a lovely hotel down in Falmouth (Inn on the sound), close enough to be only a 30 minute drive to the ferry port. 

The ferry from woods hole to Martha's Vineyard takes 40 minutes and cost $8 each way per person. 

You don't need to take a car as the bus system is pretty good and only costs $7 for an all day bus pass.

We visited the beautiful gingerbread cottages in Oak bluffs (I now WANT one!) and the famous whaling town of Edgartown (also famous for being the fictional town of Amnity in the movie Jaws!!) we stayed for a day and fell in love with the place. I now know where I want to end up. 

Question, Can I retire at 32? 

Here's a few pics which I wanted to share.... 

The shipping port in Edgartown. Martha's Vineyard. Also where they filmed Jaws.

Claudie pierlot goes cat mad

Ever wanted to combine your love of fashion and cats, without looking like some crazy cat lady (Yes please!!). Well some clever folk at claudie pierlot have launched the cutest range under the claudie vivetta sub brand.

I couldn't resist the white furry tongued hightops. 

All seen in Harvey Nichols, and harrods. October 2014

Dreamy palettes - AW14

Today I hit the shops of Knightsbridge - london, checking out the likes of Harvey Nichols and harrods.

Two collections which caught my eye with these dreamy palettes were Pinko and Maje. Marshmallow pink cashmere turtle neck sweaters, drawn finish lavender wool mid length coats, and baby boy blue silk shirts, all underpinned with a bit of grey melange and a hint of black.... All dreamy gorgeousness.

Mrs Clooney

Amal Alamuddin steps out the day after marrying Hollywood royality George Clooney, and what a perfect outfit choice but to wear a lace and 3D blossom structured prom from Giambattisa Valli's Spring 2014 couture collection.

If she looks this good the day after the wedding, I can't wait to see who/ what she wore for her actual wedding gown. Kim and Kate step aside I think we have a new style icon emerging. 

House of dreams

Today my partner and I are celebrating 3 years, and 3 months since we bought our first house. 

We knew from the start it needed a lot of work (It was over 100 years old with the original roof), but after all new windows, a new kitchen, a new bathroom, new walls, new garden and finally a new roof it's completely finished and is the house of dreams. 

CARVED COLOUR SS15

With the Matisse exhibition in full swing at the Tate Modern, its no surprise designers are feeling inspired by his trade-mark 'carved colour' and 'paper cut outs' which made him famous.

Designers  such as Peter Pilotto, Roksanda, Adeam, and Jasper Conran featured spliced prints and abstract blocking on silk jersey dresses, while Stacey Bendet for Alice and Olivia just went plain obvious and paid Homage to the man himself with a 'Blue Nude' inspired placement print on a structured mid length prom.
