Some hotels have the most interesting spaces and I Some hotels have the most interesting spaces and I thoroughly enjoyed discovering more than just rooms, suites, bars and restaurants at The Bank Hotel in Istanbul @thebankhotelistanbul 

I love when a hotel that has stories within its walls and when you can sense its character from the moment you step in. The Bank is filled historical details, from its rich architectural features to its rooftop views that made me pause and appreciate where I was.

I’ll be sharing more delights from my stay in the coming weeks… meanwhile if you’re planning a trip to Istanbul, I highly recommend staying in this perfectly located, beautifully designed hotel with the most wonderful staff.

I used to think you needed a reason to wear someth I used to think you needed a reason to wear something special... a party, a milestone, a formal invitation.

 But lately, I’ve let go of that rule.
This red silk dress doesn’t mark a grand occasion. It simply felt right.
 It felt like confidence. Joy. A gentle rebellion against waiting.

As a stylist, I often hear women say, “Oh, I’d love to wear that… but where would I wear it?”
 And I always say, you wear it for you.

Dress for the mood you want to step into, for the part of yourself that deserves to be seen, especially when there’s no one to impress.
There’s freedom in choosing beauty for no other reason than it brings you pleasure.

 No occasion necessary. You are reason enough.

As a woman who’s worked behind the scenes as a s As a woman who’s worked behind the scenes as a stylist and in front of the camera as a model, I can say this with certainty: the most striking thing you can wear is your energy.

Outfits come and go but how you carry yourself is what people remember.
That quiet confidence. That grounded presence. The ability to take up space not loudly but with intention and grace.

Whether you’re dressed in denim or couture, it’s the energy behind it that makes it magnetic. When you move with clarity, speak with kindness and feel at home in yourself… that’s fashion at its finest.

Let your posture be strong. Let your gaze be open. Let your steps reflect a life lived with purpose.

Because true elegance isn’t something we put on... it’s something we embody.

Linen in the Sahara... yes please. When dressing Linen in the Sahara... yes please.

When dressing for desert heat, my rule is simple. Keep it light. Keep it breathable. Keep it beautiful.

Linen is the hero here... soft against the skin and perfect for letting the breeze in. I paired it with soft, earthy tones that not only reflect the sun but also echo the magic of the Sahara’s endless sands.

Styling tip from me to you:
☀️ Choose natural fibres like linen or cotton. They’re cool, comfortable and effortlessly stylish.
☀️ Let your outfit breathe... loose fits are your best friend.
☀️ A little statement jewellery adds polish without weighing you down.
☀️ And remember... sunscreen and a chic hat are just as important as any outfit detail.

Desert days call for simplicity, elegance and a playful spirit.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend.

There’s something incredibly powerful about embr There’s something incredibly powerful about embracing the years that have shaped us, the lessons we’ve learned and the strength we’ve built along the way.

Too often, women are told to shrink, apologise, or hide parts of themselves because of their age. But the truth? Your age only adds to your power. Never feel held back by it. Every year is a layer of wisdom, confidence, and experience that makes you more unstoppable than ever before. 

A huge thank you to @daniellearmontcouture
 for insisting I wear a pink gown - despite it being my least favorite colour to wear.
By the end of the photoshoot, I was reluctant to take it off and give it back!
So wear your age and your journey with pride, because there’s nothing more powerful than a woman who fully owns her story.

Sometimes you know immediately when something is m Sometimes you know immediately when something is meant for you.
At Kasbah Tamsna in Morocco, these exquisite slippers called to me from a little nook in the lobby—soft green nubuck leather embroidered with the most gorgeous deep crimson thread. The craftsmanship was extraordinary, but what truly captivated me was learning they were created by a local designer, making them truly one-of-a-kind.
I have a strict travel shopping rule that has served me beautifully over the years (and yes, I’ve shared this philosophy before!), I only purchase something when I’m absolutely thrilled by it AND completely certain I’ll be wearing or using my overseas treasure when I return home. If there’s even a moment’s hesitation, I quietly walk away.
This philosophy has saved me from countless impulse purchases that would have ended up gathering dust in my wardrobe. More importantly, it ensures that every piece I bring home carries genuine meaning and joy—not just the fleeting excitement of being somewhere exotic.
These slippers were absolutely perfect for my discerning criteria. I could already see myself wearing them at home with my lovely silk robe that I purchased in Granada early last year.
I’m not a fan of souvenirs—I prefer to find treasures that will evoke wonderful memories.
This is my travel shopping philosophy. I would love to know what yours is.

The difference between looking “fine” and look The difference between looking “fine” and looking “fabulous” often comes down to those final finishing touches.
Too many? You’re heading into “Christmas tree territory” (we’ve all been there). Too few? You may as well be invisible.
But just the right accessories? That’s where the magic happens.
A statement jewellery piece, bold sunglasses, perhaps a gorgeous silk scarf—the perfect accessory transforms an outfit, creating not only a confident wearer but offering visual delight to appreciative eyes.
I’ve found that often it’s a single, perfectly chosen piece that elevates everything. The unexpected addition makes even your most conservative outfit whisper, “Yes, there’s more to me than meets the eye.” I love being that woman and seeing that woman.
My go-to everyday accessory? Sunglasses, without question. They frame the face, add instant polish, and yes, occasionally provide the perfect shield when I’m feeling incognito in the grocery aisle.
What’s your non-negotiable accessory that gives your look that essential edge?

A thousand-year tradition unfolded before my eyes A thousand-year tradition unfolded before my eyes at Chouara Tannery - the oldest and largest leather tannery in Africa, nestled in the ancient heart of Fes.

Fresh mint leaves are a time honoured solution to the potent aroma of this medieval craft that remains unchanged since the 11th century.
The colourful pools are full of indigo, saffron, poppy and mint. Each hide moves through an elaborate process: soaking in limestone and pigeon droppings (nature’s ammonia), washing, dyeing and finally drying in the Moroccan sun.

What strikes me most is not just the spectacular visual mosaic of the dye pits, but the profound connection to history. These craftsmen work exactly as their ancestors did, preserving techniques that have withstood the test of time and technology.
In an age of mass production, witnessing this ancient art form is a humbling reminder of human ingenuity and the beauty of traditional craftsmanship.

The scent memory may linger, but so will the wonder.
This is a place I highly recommend visiting, preferably with a guide.

I am happy to warmly introduce you to our guide and driver... DM if you wish.
