Apologies for not writing sooner; I have been away on honeymoon for a week in the Big Apple - and what fun it was! Plenty of sightseeing, shopping and general New-Yorking. One of my favourite areas was that of the Meatpacking, merging with Greenwich Village - so funky and uber stylish; far away from the hustle and bustle of Time Square. And the shops....wow. Well, I had a magnet to Louboutin and fell in love with Theory and some of Helmut Lang's new AW11 pieces (some of which you can get at the fabulous net-a-porter.com. His asymetric styles are just so flattering (and go perfectly with BoBelle's gorgeous new Brackenbury and Chiswick bags). These Smoking pants below, classic blazer and Brackenbury Satchel look so perfect together - and so wearable for the new season:
The choice in the States is vast and most flock to the department stores for inspiration. My advice? Head out of town and wander around the small boutiques soaking in the new trends, colours and styles. It is far nicer and less stressful, I found! Plus, there are no queues for the changing rooms and the assistants can help you pick the perfect outfit. Then there is the bonus of sauntering along and finding a bar and enjoying a much-needed cocktail and a sit down. Marvellous.
I have to say though, writing this blog now with the sun shining in the office in West London and a proper cuppa to hand, I do wholeheartedly love London - it is full of endless possibilities, excitement and above all, BoBelle! What is your favourite spot in London? Mine has to be St Paul's - its sheer domination, size and history makes it the most interesting spot for me.
Enjoy the sun, fellow readers!
