|| Being in New York, one of the obvious things to do would be to go to the ballet. And so I did. My friend Z called me up said she could get tickets on such and such a date and then off we went! The big question is always – what to wear?! If a budget wasn’t an option here is what I would have loved to have worn to the ballet. ||

|| Lets talk travel. Something everyone loves to do. The thrill of seeing a new place, or the pleasure of a familiar place revisited. Travel is also something I tend to do a lot. I was also notoriously bad at it when I started out. I packed too much hand luggage in a non-wheelie bag, I wore the wrong things for long flights and didn’t have an iPad (granted these were not invented yet – am I giving away my age?) So here’s a run down on some travel tips – now that I have it a little more sorted.

1. A cashmere sweater. This is a necessity, it doesn’t get static (so none of that electric hair), its light weight but still keeps you warm in the icy plane. And you will use it on the other side, even if you are visiting a tropical island.

2. A pair of super stretch, skinny, cropped denims. Any, and every colour or pattern.

3. Easy to take-off/put-on booties. Flat or with a stacked heel, your choice. So, you can get them off fast through security check points. Also, it means you have some socks on for the flight to keep your feet warm. (Oh, and on the sock front, keep yours on and pull those flights socks they give you on over your own. Keeps yours clean on those bathroom trips.)

4. A punchy hold-all tote bag acts as a hand bag. Keep a little pouchette in the tote for your wallet, passport and all those other essentials. Make sure this bag isn’t too heavy!

5. Cool luggage tags makes your bag stand out from the crowd on the conveyer belt.

6. My lips take a beating on the plane, I have to keep them babies moisturised. This super slick and non-sticky balm is perfect.

7. And something a little bit travel inspired, or for the crafty ones out there, a diy map, tote bag of your travels. Do it before a trip, after a trip or while you wait for your transfer flight. Nice. ||

|| So here I am… In New York City. Just like that. And since its supposed to be going into summer here, (it’s been raining almost everyday. But I have been promised by the Today Show that this too shall pass.) I’m looking into neon accents. A sleeveless shirt here, a belt there or perhaps even a flashy little blazer. Thats all for now. ||

|| The final instalment of the fashion week series has come to you all a little bit late. I was out of town and fashion had to wait. Apart from some interesting developments happening in my blogosphere (more on this soon), some interesting things happened at Paris fashion week. Designers waving goodbye, designers celebrating and designers facelifting. So here it all is. It is a long one, but oh so nice to look at. ||

ballet at jil sander

|| So before I get all fashion on your asses, to all of you people actually coming to visit my blog ‘Thanks!’ This year has seen the hits on this blog soar to almost triple of what they used to be. So that’s nice. Now onto Milan. With a range of usually over the top eccentric designers Milan does not normally show a lot of designers that I am really into. With the likes of Roberto Cavalli (read Master of Leopard) it all tends to get a bit showy – of course that is excluding Master of Simplicity Itself, Raf Simons. With his final collection at Jil Sander Raf turned all the models into ballet teachers. Tune in next week for some more house of fashion drama as other favourites leave some big names behind.
So this season I actually had trouble picking favourites, with ol’ Master Leopard ranking in pretty high! ||

|| Blondes aren’t normally my thing, but just look at this girl! She has an awesome sense of style too with a quirky, bohemian yet classic touch. She is intelligent, worldly and super down to earth. Plus she is sitting with meerkats – and I think that takes the cake! Oh, did I mention her name was Isabel Lucas? ||

|| Yes, its that time of the year again: Fashion Week. With the onslaught of these weeks careening through cities across the world it seems almost impossible to keep up with what has been shown. There are loads of designers out there man! So I though what I would do is round up of each city’s highlights – according to me. So here is numero uno – New York. ||
