Beautiful Kalkan

I have just returned from a magical week in Kalkan, Turkey. Although we did have a few rainy moments/storms we enjoyed fabulous weather, delicious food (in particular meze) and some beautiful scenery and beaches. To top it off, we stayed in the stunning Fidanka Hotel, a quirky place hugged by a cascading array of highly scented flowers, rich in purples and pinks. Our room was more like a suite, with a living, room, bedroom, en-suite and dressing room and a sweet little terrace with a comfy double hammock from which we could lie back and watch the sunset.

It's Been A While

I have just had a rather large blogging break and am now realising how much I have missed it!

Over the past few months, I have been to a couple of fantastic festivals; Womad and Hamswell, had some lovely time with friends, been to London to see the Ballgowns exhibition at the V&A, seen my gorgeous nieces, experienced a flood at work, the Bristol Balloon Festival, eaten some yummy food, made some cakes and have found some lovely bits in the shops.

Now, I am settling down to watch Breakfast At Tiffanys and then have sweet dreams about the lovely holiday I have to look forward to in three weeks time!

Chanel

One day I shall own some Chanel... In the meantime, I will just dream everytime a new collection is released. Introducing fall/winter 2012-13. I love the icy greys, flashes of neon pink, puffy, blouson shapes, gliding skirts, victoriana lace and flirtacious feathers.
