Grey: Going, Going And Very Much Gone
Going grey is not a new conversation here at VA.
We have been talking about and practicing the silver switch for many years.
I read yesterday how “silver influencers” are the new demographic for brands; finally they are realizing we have not only much to say but also bastions of excellent taste.

Weekend Wardrobe: Flutter Sleeves + Embroidery
Feeling a flutter?
Around this time of the year, I do look forward to more relaxed dressing.
Relaxed dressing conjures holidays, calmness and generally a more casual way to dress.
A little bohemian, a touch of embroidery and plenty of room to move are the components I am looking for.

Good Morning Beauty: It’s All In The KISS
Not that kind of kiss.
Although it never hurts, the keep-it-simple-stupid kind of morning beauty routine is the one I’m talking about.
Wherever I am, whatever the day I practise the same morning routine and it is a simple one. Like cleaning the teeth, I can’t get going without these well-established rituals.
I might beauty-up at a different time of the morning but certain routines and products are non-negotiable.
Habit? Yes, definitely. There is not only a degree of comfort in practising routine but also the obvious benefits reaped from regular skincare.
Necessity? Yes, absolutely, I think so.
