The Secret Stylist: Fashion Uncovered

Because boyfriend jeans are the new skinnies

Color drenched love boat - layer up the texture and stay warm this winter

Summer is a coming and it's a color drenched love boat but don't wait that long to get wet.

Just because it's still Baltic out, doesn't mean you need to dress like a 'Twilight' extra.

New Year, New Paper...

So, it's 2012. Whether or not we'll make it to the end of it as movies and crazy's suggest is a conversation for a different day but while we're here we may as well make the best of it. And you can't do that without a notebook. Seriously!  It's a non negotiable and one of the many things I collect... There's nothing as fulfilling as writing in a fresh notebook or diary; the feel, the promise, the sparkling white pages. It's like being back at school where the best part of a new term was the smell of the books.

Whether it's a 'to-do' list or a set of goals, a meeting reminder or your deepest darkest thoughts, a notebook is utterly personal. Like choosing a man, you should pick one that you love, not something to impress your mates. I'm a leather kind of chick and prefer things that are a little classic rather than faddish although I did once have a notebook with a picture of a gorgeous, dirty Irish fry-up-I loved bringing it to model castings!
