Sweet Spring
Spring… she’s round the corner from here! Lean out, a little further out the window… Ah! There she is! taking her sweet time too the cheeky little bugger. Making her gradual descent to greet us with that perfectly pitched temperature. Corralling the flowers and busying the bees, Coaxing the winter fairies to bed and readying…

LONDON – IMPRESSIONISTS ON PAPER; DEGAS TO LAUTREC
I have never not been in my Degas era, because I love his work, most everything I have seen of it. Matter of fact on my bucket list is an acquisition of a Degas sketch because I love how he conveys romanticism within the slight of his pencil. Degas captures a softness that comes with…

LONDON – ACCIDENTALLY WES ANDERSON
I like how unpretentious this exhibition is; it is not in the big fancy museums, rather it is in an unassuming location in South Kensington (apt) and the space in contorted into different rooms through arches which is possibly on purpose so you can do that thing where you see pictures in angles, and on…

THE JANUARY BLUES SOOTHE
January with her cold shoulder and freeze is finally upon us, on the heels of the most delightful time of year; it seems a cruel joke that Christmas should be followed by such grey and cold and wet; ensconcing us in the thick of winter. A month of Mondays, leaving us in need of pick…

CHRISTMAS WINDOWS | SELFRIDGES
Best in show by a country mile! Because Selfridges really said if there is a prize I am taking it. I AM TAKING ALL THE PRIZES. I would imagine sitting round the table in the visual merchandising strategy meeting for Christmas, no ideas were off limits. It came, it ate and left NO CRUMBS. Selfridges,…

CHRISTMAS WINDOWS- ANNABEL’S MAYFAIR

Bear in mind…

CHRISTMAS WINDOWS – LOUIS VUITTON
At first when I saw this, I wasn’t too sure about it; I was in two minds, because I thought they played it safe, but then the more I stood to look at it, the more a theme emerged at play. I like the clean lines of it without it being austere, it is still…

CHRISTMAS WINDOWS – HARVEY NICHOLS
The merry go round that is Christmas. This is too high octane to be Christmas it is more suited to New Year’s Eve. I think it’s the colours, actually I know it’s the colours. Christmas wonderland which is reminiscent of the winter wonderland not five minutes from the store but where is the warmth? It’s…

CHRISTMAS WINDOWS – RALPH LAUREN
This is not so much a window as it is a store front because brands, especially with their stand alone stores are often at a disadvantage somewhat because of the range of products to play with; as opposed to the department stores that can flex their muscle which is why I am always harder on…
