Quote of the Week - Albert Camus
In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer. Jun 17, 2010
I could not resist
Being a child of the 80s I wanted this tank dress as soon as I saw it in Christopher Kane's Spring Summer 2010 collection.
Well, I found it on sale!
Next to the words 'free' and 'deal', 'sale' is my third favourite collection of letters in the English language. I'll probably only wear it to the beach, to yoga or to bed which all happen to be amongst my most pleasurable activities so money well spent.

Quote of the Week - Jean-Dominique Bauby
...I see in the clothing a symbol of continuing life. And proof that I still want to be myself. If I must drool, I may as well drool on cashmere. (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly)

Tip of the Week - How to Choose the Best Tie
- silk should feel smooth
- high-quality ties, constructed from three pieces of fabric, should lie perfectly flat, without bumps or ripples.
- make sure the bar tack is securely attached and on straight - detail, details!
- pull on the back slip stitch - one that has been sewn on correctly helps maintain the shape of the tie and gathers together when pulled
- hold the tie over your hand and let it fall. The narrow end should fall directly in the middle of the wide end
How to Pack A Carry On Bag
Of course everyone is different. I usually pack an extra pair of underwear, socks, deodorant and a pic of my family.

- batteries

- credit cards
- confirmations

- reading material
- sleep mask

- ticket

Quote of the Week - Robert Frost
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
