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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Monkeying around at the Andaz Liverpool Street London

Thursday 19 December 2013 by where2wearit

I like the style of Andaz hotels and enjoyed visiting their one in Amsterdam earlier this year designed by Marcel Wenders, so I was interested in checking out their property in Liverpool Street, London. The collection has got it just right for me with their winning fusion of the grand and glamorous with the quirky and artistic. They also have an impressive commitment to working with local artists, and the staff are always very friendly to boot. Even though it […]

Alice & Co at the SLEEP exhibition

Thursday 28 November 2013 by where2wearit

Last week Alice & Co’s journey was a short one: just a hop, skip and a jump across to the Business Design Centre in Islington, North London to the SLEEP exhibition, where I went to see what the hotels of the future might look like. Could they ever be as good as the glamorous Plaza Athenée, Paris or the stylish Andaz Amsterdam? There were complete mock up rooms…. This one by Kelly Hoppen is my favorite – monochromatic but not […]

A quick trip to Paris

Monday 11 November 2013 by where2wearit

I’m always happy to jump on the Eurostar from London to Paris… This time my purpose is to visit my great mate and business partner Tara Munro, who has just realised her dream of a little Parisienne boutique to house her Ooh La La! collection of vintage clothes and accessories – which you can also see online. It’s called Chez Ninon and you can find it in the pretty Place St Catherine du Marché in the fashionable Marais quartier. Tara […]
