I don’t know about you but I’m an unhappy girl without my sunglasses. On sunny days and cloudy days alike, I’m always digging through my bag trying to find them. When I forgot mine at home on a trip to London a few years ago, I bee-lined for a department store on Oxford Street the [...]

I recently wrote about loafers being a stylish and practical shoe for the constant traveler. I rounded up a selection of favourites here. I highlighted the Tod’s Driving Loafers as my favourite but sporting a hefty price tag of $425 a pair, they’re too rich for my wallet. But I just returned from Paris, where [...]

Every destination has different requirements in terms of what to pack. There’s just no one-size-fits-all approach to packing because what you need for one destination won’t be exactly what you need for another. I’ve been visiting Los Angeles a lot lately and this is one destination for which I’ve got my packing routine down pat. [...]

Shoes can be a challenge for the constant traveler. If you’re like me and travel with carry-on only, shoes can pose a problem each and every time you haul out your suitcase to pack for a getaway. Running shoes seem to take up exactly half the suitcase. And a pair of heels? They seem to [...]

In the Spotlight: Emerald

When colour authority Pantone declared 17-5641 Emerald the Colour of the Year for 2013, they made a bold choice – but isn’t bold exciting and invigorating? Survey your closet. How much black, grey, white and navy is in there? I like colour but I admit, the contents of my closet are comfortably, predictably dark. I [...]

I love my iPhone 4. I used to be a loyal Blackberry user but once I made the switch, I knew I’d never go back. I love all the amazing apps, especially the photography apps. My favourites are PictureShow and Instagram. Both allow you to add filters to your pictures, taking them from good to [...]

Ask my fiance and he’ll tell you that he often hears murmurs of discontent coming from me after I’ve washed my hair at a new hotel. The problem? The conditioner. So many hotels offer guests awful, harsh hair and body products and it never fails to frustrate me. I’d happily pack my own shampoo, conditioner [...]
