A friend of mine told me last year that she’d spent some time playing Kate Winslet’s body double in a movie called The Dressmaker (not the naked kind, the clothed kind of body double). From what she told me and watching the movie trailer I knew that I had to see it. As soon as…
Dubai is surrounded by the sea on one side and the desert on the others. The desert is not to be missed. If you’re like me, you’d assume that it’s just a vast sandy place with little vegetation or appeal. The first is true, there is little vegetation, but it has a beauty that has…

Leather look leggings are a great staple for your wardrobe whether you’re under or over 40. They create a more edgy look and a dressier feel than a plain knit legging. You can find them with a plain front, or with some pattern like these, which I thinks makes for a more interesting garment. How…

The other morning I was in the bathroom removing my old toenail polish in preparation for a new colour when my daughter came to ask me what colour I was choosing to wear. When travelling you want maximum mileage from your colour so I was in a small quandry as to which colour to choose.…
