A sporty time on Queensland’s Gold Coast

Tuesday 14 March 2017 by where2wearit

In April 2018 the XXI Commonwealth Games will take place in Queensland, Australia, so what better place to do a little limbering up than in the famous Gold Coast sunshine?  The country’s sports stars are a friendly lot and seem happy to demonstrate some techniques to complete rookies like me. We meet up with beach volleyball Gold Medallist and five-time Olympian Natalie Cook, who is happy to let me join her team. Yikes! She’s so busy explaining techniques such as […]

A hop around Kangaroo Island, South Australia

Sunday 5 March 2017 by where2wearit

Kangaroo Island might sound like a location for an Enid Blyton story but it’s real, lives up to its name and is only one and a half hour’s drive south from Adelaide followed by a breezy 45 minute ferry ride. A hop, skip and a jump and you’re there. Here I am trying some hopping exercise – which certainly puzzles the roos! I decide it’s better to stick with hiking… The landscape here is more rugged than Margaret River in […]

Alice & Co Down Under – Feb 2017

Sunday 12 February 2017 by where2wearit

After spending a couple of years teaching pattern cutting in north London at Fashion Capital and Ray Stitch, writing a pattern cutting book and keeping Alice & Co made to measure clients chic and well dressed, it seems like a good time to pack my flip flops and sunscreen and fly south. That’s way down south – to Perth in Western Australia – for the start of a three month adventure that will include hiking, biking, sailing and horse riding […]

Debbie Harry at the Virgin Atlantic uniform launch party

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 […]
