L-R: Black and pink (Marc Jacobs), beige (vintage) Like a small child of 5 years old, I have an addiction to bows. I don’t know what it is, but I can’t stop buying them: whether for my hair, for my neck, for my waist, for my fingers or my toes, they just keep accumulating in my wardrobe! But let me… View Post
After paying a visit to Carrie Bradshaw’s house in Greenwich Village last week (yes, I know she’s not an actual person and yes, I do realise this makes me the epitome of an embarrassing tourist…)*, I’ve come over all Carrie and can’t stop thinking about shoes! Although I already posses a shoe wardrobe of slightly ridiculous proportions, I want more!… View Post
I’m no Gossip Girl (though wouldn’t it be nice to live in an apartment that plush with one’s very own couture-filled walk in wardrobe?), but the Upper East Side is a brilliant place to spend a sunny day in New York. Want to follow me as I adventure around the city for a day? Don’t forget to look up: the… View Post
Why hello! I hope you’ve all been well these past two weeks? I had a brilliant two weeks across the pond, which i’ll share with you a little more over the next few days.

Hello lovelies! As I hinted last week, I’m off on a new adventure tomorrow. The Clever Boyfriend and I are flying across the pond for 2 weeks. I’m thrilled to say I’ll be returning to Washington D.C.

Editor at Large and Creative Consultant to Vogue Nippon, Anna defies categorisation, trends, and expectations; she is a sartorial force in a niche all of her own. I’m always trying to tell the… View Post

As for our bags, we women carry so many things with us each day that in a way, besides being a fabulous accessory, our bags become our little portable… View Post
Life seems to have been so hectic lately (usually in a good way) that my idea of a blissful weekend evening now involves doing as little as possible. Translation: I’d more often than not rather stay in than be out indulging in cocktail-fuelled dancing. Does this make me officially old and duller than dull? Regardless, my idea of a blissful… View Post
Meet the newest addition to my accessories wardrobe: a miniature Coco Chanel figurine, straight from Paris. And isn’t she a darling? Regular readers of this blog will recall that I had my beloved Chanel 2.55 bag stolen and I’m supposed to be scaling back my designer shopping habit in order to fund a replacement. Is it ok if the plan… View Post
