And So It Begins…. The Holidays

Carla Coulson, Paris, Departure Lounge, Sales


This fabulous interior, another photograph from Departure Lounge, might not have much to do with the holidays and the forthcoming sales, but where better to lounge around.


Where better to let the imagination run wild? I could easily cosy up on that fauteuil, feeling luxurious in cashmere or silk, with a great book and a glass of something delicious. Wouldn’t that be heaven?


Parisian interiors such as this; I don’t believe that there are any others that resonate more deeply with me.



Today J.Crew in the U.S have announced their holiday sale … first off the mark.

I have made an edit for you of the pieces that I think would be brilliant additions to our wardrobes.

Nothing too clever because you know what happens in sales…  overwhelmed and excited often ends up in many returns :)


My sales strategy is always the same, buy what I know works and what I know I will wear often.

That is truly a bargain.


And So It Begins… The Holidays

the cashmere, because i think we are all in the mood for more cashmere
