BEST PLACES TO BUY DISCOUNTED FASHION ONLINE

I love fashion and all the designer things, what I love even more is to buy them at a discounted price. Some brands have decided to reduce prices after a while on certain items, don't worry they are still making money, it's part of their marketing and financial strategy. What are the best places to buy designer clothes and bags at a discount? My number one destination is Outnet.com where you can find many mid range items but also super brands like YSL, Gucci, Valentino etc. at a slightly discounted price. It is good to check it often as the hottest items sell out in minutes. By that I mean Gucci or YSL bags or similar type of items. If they are there it's only a matter of seconds before they are gone so you have to be ready if you want to strike ! Outnet has many similar brands as Net-a-porter.com when they go on sale. It is a great site if you are looking for some gems. Another very tempting favourite , however for midrange fashion is Fashionette which is full of very in...

Luxury summer travels in 2026

For those seeking the ultimate summer escape, the Mediterranean coastlines of France and Italy offer a masterclass in high-end living. From the legendary beach clubs of Saint-Tropez to the dramatic cliffs of the Amalfi Coast , these destinations combine sun-drenched natural beauty with world-class gastronomy and the most exclusive retail therapy. The French Riviera: Nice , Cannes , and Saint-Tropez The Côte d'Azur is the definitive playground for the global elite. June and September are widely considered the best months to visit Villanovo ; you’ll enjoy balmy temperatures of 18–25°C and warm sea water without the extreme congestion of the August "grandes vacances." Nice : Artistic Heritage and Modern Luxury Nice serves as the sophisticated gateway to the Riviera, blending Italianate architecture with French elegance. The Iconic Stay : No visit is complete without the Hotel Negresco . A National H...

BEST JAPANESE RESTAURANTS IN LONDON

There are so many Japanese restaurants in London but there are a few best ones that will always be popular and will new be overshadowed by others. Zuma - Knightsbridge hands down top Japanese restaurant of all time. No competition. Best food, best atmosphere, great time every time I visited. And that famous bar... Roka Charlotte Street and Roka Mayfair- another classic for Japanese food in Central London, always fantastic food. Novikov- classic choice when it comes to Japanese restaurants , you can't go wrong. The food is outstanding, fun atmosphere, it turns into a nightclub on the weekend. A place to see and be seen. And again , the famous bar downstairs ... Nobu Mayfair - best Nobu in London, closely followed by Nobu Portman Square. London classic for Japanese food that never disappoints. Kyubi in Arts Club - amazing food but slightly lacking in the atmosphere , which is strange bearing in mind it is in Art Club which has a great atmosphere. Counter style sit...

FEMININE FASHION IN UK- WHERE TO FIND FEMININE OUTFITS?

Sometimes I wonder if feminine way of dressing is being forced out of fashion by minimalism? I am always on the lookout for nice feminine dresses and outfits and I am always looking for new brands that I like and the ones that carry feminine styles. Here are some brands and retailers in the UK that have feminine styles for any age. Asos This website has many brands so it is quite easy to find feminine styles. What I normally do is to write "pink" in the search box or "pink dress" if I am looking just for dresses and that shows me not only pink garments but also it is associated with feminine styles that will show up in the search in different colours as well. Karen Millen and Ted Baker Those two brands have many beautiful dresses and other feminine garments such as blouses, skirts and top. The quality is really good and the styles are classic and timeless. Michael Kors I have found lots of nice dresses from this brand as well as bags and other accessories , many ...

LONDON ESSENTIALS FOR SPRING

London is absolutely a fantastic place to be in spring but you have to be well prepared to make sure you are ready to face any kind of weather as the transition between winter and spring can be quite surprising. Here are some things you might need. 1. Umbrella. I guess that goes without saying that we need an umbrella here now matter which season. 2. Sunglasses. Sun and rain mixed together and even a bit of snow recently, all in one day, that's perfectly normal for a Londoner. Large tortoise shell sunglasses are perfect or black ones for a stronger look. 3. Trench coat. A great wardrobe essential for spring, perfect in London. The famous London brand that offers a great selection is Burberry , however if your budget is a bit less flamboyant there are many alternatives in H&M, Zara and Mango. 4. Light scarf. Temperatures can rise and drop by many degrees so a scarf is a great way to keep warm. Again an iconic Burberry scarf would be nice but there are many more alternatives to ...

WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE IN LONDON RESTAURANTS?

London restaurants and bars are known for their glamour and there are many high end and Michelin star restaurants here. What is the dress code though? Can you be overdressed or under dressed? It all depends on the location and the calibre of the restaurant. Believe it or not but London is actually a very causal place , especially in the local areas and not so glamorous neighbourhoods. Only certain places attract the glamoutous crowd and that would be mainly Chelsea and Mayfair. Some restaurants that are very famous are attracting the super glam clientele while others don't. The general rule of thumb is to dress smart casual, that way you will be dressed for any occasion and any place. How to recognise someone who has never been to the opera before?- they are wearing a tuxedo! Even the Royal Opera House is casual. Save your tuxedo for a ball or some other dressed up occasion. For women it's a bit different, we are generally more glamorous by nature so we can wear ...

CHANEL BAG ALTERNATIVES

Are you looking for a classic and timeless bag to go with everything? Chanel classic flap would be ideal but not everyone can shell out thousands of pounds on that beautiful bag. However I think that Chanel bag style and class can be achieved at a smaller budget but with no compromise on style or quality. Here are some alternatives that are available now from other brands which will give you that Chanel timeless style but without the price tag. Saint Laurent Envelope Bag This bag has similar shape and style to the Chanel but has a YSL logo at the front. That will satisfy that logo cravings and the chain of the bag is also nice and chunky to add some glamour to ever look. This bag goes with literally all outfits. Saint Laurent Sunset bag Similarly, this bag has a classic look and shape and will go well with any outfits. Both of those Saint Laurent bags are well under two thousand pounds which is a nice change after Chanel prices. Gucci Small Marmont Matelasse bag Another tim...
