How to Shop the Sales!

 

 January = Post Christmas Sales

A very dangerous time for any women who can't resist a bargain. Wardrobes across the county heave with "sale bargain" disasters. Items that don't really fit well, don't actually go with anything you own or simply don't work within your lifestyle.

so my tips...

• Do some research! Pick up a fashion magazine and have a look at the new season trends. Perhaps you can find a new season bargain.
• Look for good quality basics in premium fabrics. Leather (black/brown), silk and cashmere never go out of style.
• Don't buy it because it's cheap, buy it because you love it!
• Try it on in the shop, trust me you won't get around to taking it back, altering it, magically losing 10Ibs etc etc.
• Eat before you shop, wear your favourite underwear and dress in easily removable clothes (no excuses - see above) ;-)

Oh and have fun and post me your pictures!

2014 those Resolutions...

As I awoke this morning January 1st 2014, my thoughts lingered upon the traditional making of New Years Resolutions and what I hope this fresh year would bring to enrich and challange my life, thoughts and beliefs.

• I observed this morning that when I travel I take great pleasure in selecting and packing my travel cosmetics and take more time and effort to pamper my skin and take care of my body, as such my first resolution is to do this every day, take time to take care of my most precious resource; myself.
• My second resolution is to make time to read and learn every day. I will be creating a cosy reading corner in my home dedicated to bookshelves that are heaving with fascinating stories and inspiration.
• My third focus for 2014 is to be more more mindful of the little things in life that make it so beautiful, to give myself time to observe and listen and absorb. to be playful everyday and to be thankful for all the blessings I have been granted.

Mind, Body, Soul...

bis gleich and wishing you a very happy New Year and a prosperous 2014,
