STAYING IN THE 600 YEAR OLD HAUNTED MERMAID INN IN RYE

“Just close your eyes and think of England.” Queen Victoria

and is the perfect location to explore Rye, the Sussex Weald and the Romney Marsh.

Going to the Mermaid Inn is just like stepping back in time with its medieval mantrap of secret tunnels, priest holes and passages, low-beamed ceilings and hallways which give it a particularly atmospheric appeal.

Undeniably one the most atmospheric hotels in Britain.  If you want to stay in a quirky, quintessentially English, historic hotel, then the Mermaid is for you

THE PERFECTLY IMPERFECT ASYMMETRY YOUR WARDROBE NEEDS

“One is never over-dressed or under-dressed with a Little Black Dress.” Karl Lagerfeld

One of the hottest timeless trends is asymmetry, the trend that says a lot more about your personality than any style that has come before.

I personally can’t get enough of this edgy style, it’s all about being complicated and breaking away from the rigid lines of perfection.

The off-center look with such a mishmash of lines and irregular cuts is incredibly mesmerizing and eye catchy, which is probably why it’s being so widely embraced by everyone.

WHY PLEATS ARE THE KEY TO YOUR WARDROBE

This timeless and feminine style continues to inspire. It has been a royal staple for as long as I can remember, from Princess Diana’s iconic wardrobe back in the 80s to the Duchess of Cambridge’s animal print ensemble in 2020.
Let’s take a look as to why this trend constantly boomerangs in and out of fashion.

WHAT YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN’T MISS VISITTING STRATFORD UPON AVON, ENGLAND

“Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller” Ibn Battuta

If you like weekends away packed with culture and history, Stratford-upon-Avon should be on your bucket list.  

Stratford is a small and historic Elizabethan market town on the River Avon in Warwickshire. The town offers the perfect destination for life-long Shakespeare lovers but there are more things to do than you may think.

This town’s medieval streets are filled with delightful shops, top-quality restaurants and pubs, all within walking distance of the scenic River Avon, and surrounded by the wonderful Warwickshire countryside.

THE POWER OF TWO | EFFORTLESS AND CHIC CO-ORDS

“The joy of dressing is an art.” John Galliano

I’m obsessed with matching sets that have become my go-to fashion trend for many reasons. For someone as sartorially indecisive as I am, co-ords offer the holy grail of outfit-choosing.

And it really doesn’t matter what kind of look you want, somewhere out there is a matching two-piece outfit that suits you exactly.
