Ciao from Florence! Hailed butt, away from rainy wet miserable London mercifully, to spend a few days in the beautiful sunny city of Florence for Luisa Via Roma’s 4th edition of Firenze4Ever, dolled up in pink. Coming up: a LOT of clothes I can only afford if I sold my mother and brother (2 for 1?), enough pink to re-live your Barbie kidhood, and a gaggle of really great people who happen to be bloggers.

I may report trend like BBC weather forecast the next 24 hours (a slot machine of weather icons running on 50p coins, more like) but it sure looks like a pastels trend gale is brewing in the horizon. Not that I should mind much, everytime I spill my face-mattifying loose powder on my lap I become a pastel monster anyway, might as well be trendy this time round. I will get those Marant sneakers though, so hide yo kids, hide yo wives, and hide your husband.

Onar resort, Andros Island, Greece; Honeymoon in September 2011

If this blog’s timeline ran anywhere close to actual life it might seem that I’m ringing in New Year (along with a gaggle of other bloggers, apparently) from sun-kissed Greece! Wishful thinking, that. No, greetings from a bum that mistook the NYE fireworks for the sound of gunfire shots coming from the Axis-end of a skirmish on Company of Heroes game with the hubby. Toasting away on a white beach while the waves tickle our toes… Between our bites of microwave-pizza we managed to say Happy New Year and continued on for at least 4 more hours on multiplayer computer games in our freezing London flat. These are photos from our honeymoon in Andros island in Greece, just two months ago. I thought this might be as good a time as any, if not ideal, to share them since I’m more than certain that pizza crumbs and deflated cokes simply does not photograph. It’s lovely anyway to start a new year reminiscing the trip that supposedly marks new chapter

of one’s life, if I’m not being corny enough!

Hope you all had a blasting start to a New Year!
