Vivienne Westwood’s new uniforms for Virgin Atlantic

Sunday 31 August 2014 by where2wearit

If you’re flying Virgin Atlantic from 1st September 2014 you’d better travel in your best bib and tucker or you’ll be be upstaged by the crew! They’ve all been kitted out in very swish new uniforms designed by Vivienne Westwood – with red shoes and bags to match. They were unveiled at a glamorous launch party at Village Underground in London’s Shoreditch. Female cabin crew in red Vivienne Westwood – Alice in a grey Alice & Co all-in-one Dame Vivienne’s […]

A road trip around New Zealand’s North Island

Sunday 17 August 2014 by where2wearit

The reason for Alice & Co’s trip to New Zealand – apart from my perpetual itchy feet, is to visit my younger sister and her family who recently emigrated from the UK’s Lake District to Lake Taupo in the middle of North Island. Thereby exchanging one big lake for a much bigger one. So the last part of our grand trip via the Cook Islands and Auckland is a squiggly drive around her new homeland. First stop is East Tamaki […]

Glorious Goodwood – a day at the races

Wednesday 6 August 2014 by where2wearit

As we’re having such a lovely summer an invitation from Fairmont Hotels and Resorts to Glorious Goodwood in West Sussex for a day at the races seems like a great chance to put on some glad rags, don my latest Susie Hopkins titfer and have a little flutter. And they’re off!!! Who’ll be first out of the stalls for ‘The Hat Stakes’? Our host Lucinda Buxton of Mango PR wearing Gina Foster or Alice in a Susie Hopkins straw beret […]

Feasting and fasting in Fez

Friday 18 July 2014 by where2wearit

An offer of a few days in Fez, Morocco, flying with Ryanair, during Ramadan and in the July heat – oh well, why not? Fortunately my Alice & Co stretchy summer dresses are light and roll up nice and small leaving me with a half-empty suitcase – the famous Fez Medina has 1001 shops so I’m surely not going to return empty handed! Just in case of shopping overload, some portable suitcase scales also go into my bag – although […]

A day out at the Henley Regatta

Sunday 6 July 2014 by where2wearit

The 4th July was a glorious summer day at Henley Royal Regatta. In the Las Vegas enclosure dazzling American hospitality and sequinned showgirls blended with the striped blazers and straw boaters of the old country. Mole and Ratty might not have known what to make of it, but Mr Toad would most certainly have approved! My Alice & Co dress and Susie Hopkins hat chimed perfectly with the colour scheme for the day and were probably a lot more comfortable […]

Auckland – New Zealand

Thursday 24 April 2014 by where2wearit

After some lovely days lolling around in the Cook Islands in the South Pacific, it’s time to put on some heels and hit the streets of Auckland. There’s something about a big city on the sea – I’m thinking Sydney, San Francisco, Stockholm – that says while this may be a serious place of commerce and culture we’re also jolly well going to relax and have a good time. New Zealand’s largest city, which is spread over a landscape of […]

Alice & Co in the South Pacific – Aitutaki

Tuesday 1 April 2014 by where2wearit

Aitutaki’s good luck is be home to one of the world’s most beautiful lagoons. It’s a 45 minute flight in a tiny plane from Rarotonga (see my last post), the gateway to the Cook Islands. Alice & Co calls into these specks of paradise while en route to New Zealand, flying from Los Angeles with Air New Zealand. Aitutaki is so laid back it makes it’s big brother island seem like a bustling metropolis. You can see it all in […]

Alice & Co in the South Pacific – Rarotonga

Wednesday 19 March 2014 by where2wearit

Alice & Co decides to escape the February rain in London and go way down south to New Zealand, stopping over at Rarotonga and Atutaki in the Cook Islands. Lost in the South Pacific, you can get to these specks of paradise by flying from Los Angeles with Air New Zealand. Plan ahead, as the plane only goes once a week… The beach in Rarotonga – just the kind of escape I had in mind! This is a tricky one, […]

Seaside and countryside in Sussex

Wednesday 5 February 2014 by where2wearit

If it seems a long haul through the winter why not try a little trip to Sussex to keep you going? My seaside and countryside picks can be enjoyed whatever the weather. ‘I do like to be beside the seaside’ – a fun weekend in Brighton. If Brighton was good enough for the Prince Regent to let his hair down, it’s good enough for me. And my friend Debbie’s ‘Strictly’ birthday party at Drakes Hotel proved a great setting for […]
