Velvety sock boots. The winters dream.

Stuart Weitzman

With great excitement, I wanted to share that Stuart Weitzman has opened a Flagship UK store! So exciting. Right in the thick of it on Regents Street. So to celebrate this fashionable announcement, I created this post. I love these velvet sock boots –Clinger’s. Sock boots are the perfect winter alternative to pumps. I love wearing them under cropped trousers and longer skirts for a seamless and flattering silhouette. They are the perfect not-sure-what-to-wear shoes, as they are always flattering.

Food

Pear, Parma Ham and Roquefort Parcels

Nibbles • Party Planning • Savoury

These easy canapés are cook free! All you have to do is prep and assemble, so even if cooking really isn’t your thing, you can’t mess these up. I promise!

1

Cut your pear into eighths and then peel and core the slices.
Cut the Roquetfort into rectangles about half a cm by 3cms.
Lie the Parma Ham flat (depending on the size of your Parma Ham, you should be able to get two out of each slice) and tuck into the end the Pear, Roquetfort, four Rocket leaves and finish with a good seasoning of Salt and Pepper.
Roll the bundle up and place on a serving dish on a bed of Rocket.
When you have completed your canapes, you could drizzle with truffle honey for a decadent extra finish.

Cracking Christmas Chill

Body & Bath • Collaborations • Home Decor

With Christmas coming, it’s all about indulgence for me. Little treats like fresh and fluffy towels, a good book and a long bath make the holiday.

Bringing Christmas into your home can be a challenge, with the shopping, cooking, parties and general december madness going on. Making your home feel christmasy can be bottom of the list. I think sometimes feeling festive yourself can give you more energy for decorating.

Nothing makes me feel more festive and rejuvenated than a lovely bath. I choose all the parts of the bath carefully, from the towels, to the fragrance. Warm and fresh fragrances like ginger, amber and eucalyptus remind me of the holidays. With a nod to great Christmas traditions like the Nutcracker. Nothing says christmas quite like ballerinas and tulle. All that white glittering beauty. The Christy towels have the same fluffy light texture. Pure luxury and indulgence – isn’t that what its all about. I love the Royal Turkish collection which is thick and rich, with a lovely trim detail to each towel. I also got this fabulous thick bath mat which feels wonderful under foot (you can see how much Thumbelina liked it) and a monogramed bath robe to really feel special. When I was a child my parents bought Christy’s towels and they have lasted over 20 years. Shocking but true. Their quality is really not comparable to other brands. We still have dark green and dark blue Christy towels in guest bathrooms at my parents house.

Have a magical Christmas with a beautiful white bath. I like to put white roses and eucalyptus in the water, along with bath milk and a pile of warm white towels to swaddle myself in afterwards.
