31st December 2012
Installed shoe-wall out of IKEA laundry-room shelves after finding a hobbit living in the mountain of shoes
Navigating in Florence with hubby at Firenze4Ever, mostly following trail of mozzarella balls
Getting used to, and loving, hotel breakfasts
Chanel AW12 in Paris, still have a crush on that canary-yellow boy bag
Fantasy-come-true freak stroke of luck – my first Mary Katrantzou show wherein I cried rainbows all-throughout
Slashed hair, courtesy of JHair
Berlin with Zalando, rediscovering a gem in the heart of Europe
Favourite ASOS collection of all time – vintage-inspired ASOS Salon
Learnt & witnessed genuine craftsmanship at Hermès Atelier Sacs
Where dreams came true
Eurodisney with Jen, grinning like 9-year olds the whole time.
More magic at Chateaux de Fontainbleu
Post-marriage initials sealed on bag
Milan with Bottega Veneta
Discovering Paco Rabanne (a millennium late) and their come-back collection
Wading through the fields (and possibly dog poo) with L’Eau de Chloe
Silk trousers DIY with two scarves from H&M
First time at an Alain Ducasse, in Plaza Athenee, at the chef’s table, naturally.
One night at Plaza Athenée and feeling two worlds away from home
Fabergé eggs on my nails
Sweaty feet in plastic shoes, oh yeah.
Tokyo with Perrier Jouet, best 3 days of my life…
…part of the reason why
Heatwave in London, 25 degrees. Everyone was apparently going to die of heat. Oh shut up.
At Azuma Makoto‘s (florist/artist) atelier in Tokyo – den of inspiration
A taste of Peru for birthday lunch- at Ceviche, London

Christmas windows by Dior at the Printemps, with a bit of Marion Cotillard magic sprinkled on top.
Tourist day in London, on the foggiest day ever
Breakfast on the 40th floor and watching London wake up for work
Uniqlooks every single month, which should be considered some kind of a miracle.
It has been decided: Best burgers in London – Lucky Chip/Slier bar
What’s in my bag…that makes it weigh light a motherfather.
Skinny dipping in Diana memorial with Boucheron. Not really, but it sure felt like it.
35 minute Christmas shopping with shop-allergic significant other.
Featured in January 2013 issue of Company magazine as part of ‘Super Bloggers issue’
First Loubies and also putting a flag on the quarter-of-a-century-year-old mountain peak.
For 2013, I’m praying for less shoes, more family, less ‘me’, more ‘you’, and a LOT more of humbleness when it comes to keeping this blog. Just because some people on Twitter don’t know the difference between ‘you’re’ and ‘your’, doesn’t mean I’m king, right. Or does it. Wishing my readers a blessed New Year, full of love, health and happiness – see you in 2013!
WOW!
Congrats on your year so far, I love your blog <3
