my greatest asset

My beautiful little girl Georgia, aged 7, has turned into my personal shopper. Even as a baby, she loved shopping for clothes with me, and her finger is now firmly on the fashion pulse. She sees through flighty trends and frippery and identifies classic, investment buys with the eye of a seasoned stylist. She is absolutely my greatest shopping asset (as well as life asset).
Here she is in a Gucci men's winter hat - I think looking quite gorgeous.

the power of perfume ...

I am absolutely thrilled. After being fixed on Coco by Chanel for 2 decades, I have been on the hunt for a contemporary frangrance to ring the changes. I had a very pleasurable search, discovering some superb perfumes from artisan fragrance houses, finally chancing upon Signature but Ruth Mastenbroek. It ticks all my boxes ...  fresh citrus top notes, flowers and woods in the heart, and sensual, beguiling base notes. Love it love it love it. As a special treat, I also ordered the heavenly body lotion and am now swanning around in heavenly aromas throughout the day. The best compliment came from my 7 year old daughter - 'yummy Mummy'.

happy things ...
