Sparkling in Cannes

May 21, 2015


OK, so Cannes is back.
You've seen all the dresses (the good, the bad
and the ugly) but here are some of the
sparkles that swept down the
red carpet.

Cannes 2015, red carpet jewelry, jewellery, Chopard, diamonds, turquoise

brown diamond chandelier earrings by de Grisogono



Now I know this is a post principally about
the sparkles at Cannes. However, I wanted to post the dress
I thought stood out more than any other. There were
a lot of black and white dresses, a lot of lace etc.
But I thought the dress worn below by Cheryl Fernandez-Versini
was "architecturally" gorgeous.

The dress was designed by Ralph & Russo.
I thought it was stunning.
What do you think?







Kim Kardashian please take note!


What do you think of Cheryl's dress?
Who stood out for you, more than any other?
Which woman do feel always looks sexiest
because of the comfortable way her clothes
fit/look; she always looks effortless?


As always, I love to hear your thoughts

Think Like A Queen

May 11, 2015


I really love this quote as so many of us
(me included) can sometimes see failure and setbacks
as the end of the story.

Successful people never see a setback as the end
of the story.




Failure is certainly something I can be frightened of; I
think it comes of years of programming as a child,
but I am getting better.

Failure also gives you empathy for
others that have fallen down.

I realise (altho' I don't always achieve it) that
you can't be scared of failing, otherwise it will stop
you doing big things.

What are you thoughts on failure and setbacks?
Do you bounce back quickly?

Would love to hear your views as always

How Did She Do It?

May 3, 2015

Once upon a time, in a land not so
far away, the world waited.


A Princess was due to give birth and word was 
out that she had been "snuck" into the hospital
early Saturday morning.

Two hours later a new Princess was born
and the the little island known as the the UK,
was euphoric.


Everyone was super-excited.
Tourists were multiplying rapidly outside
St. Mary's Hospital (which by the way was 
where I was born "sans" paparazzi ;-)
and both Kensington and Buckingham Palace.



At 11am the official announcement was made with all
the pomp and ceremony we Brits have become known for

So all this is fine and dandy-we all know
what happened during the rest of the afternoon;
both princesses (Mum and daughter) were presented 
to the world to gasps and whoops of joy.

But something else happened in my world.

As Kate stepped out of the Lindo Wing at around
6pm, the worlds media went into a frenzy, and so
did my mobile phone.

What the hell was happening?

All my friends were texting me.

"How can she look so amazing after giving birth
just 10 hours earlier?"

"How does she do it?"

"Are we sure someone didn't give birth for her?"
(a joke of course)

"How is it humanely possible
that someone can look so 
amazing in less than 12 hours?"

I have never had children, so I wasn't really
in a position to comment.

What I did know was that I look
100 time worse if I just do 30 minutes cardio.
I therefore know if  I had given birth, it 
would have probably taken me 10 weeks
to look half presentable for the world, 
not 10 HOURS.

Yes I know some people 
argue  "Well she does have a make-up
artist and hairdresser on speed dial".

But is that the only reason?
I don't recall Diana looking quite
as polished when she stepped out of the
same hospital.
