SUMMER ESPADRILLES
Espadrilles are a summer holiday classic. The casual rope-soled cotton canvas shoes originate from the Pyrenees where they've been made since the 14th century. Worn by men, women and kids across the years, they're a versatile, basic style staple in the warmer months.
The two nicest I've seen for SS13 are slip-ons from Whistles, in monochrome snakeskin or leopard print and GAP's polka dot and black and cream animal print lace-ups.

Let me introduce you to DHC, one of Japan's largest beauty brands, which has 25 years' experience in creating innovative skincare based on botanicals and is known for its olive oil-based skincare and beauty products. I hadn't heard of it until recently and it's been a pleasure to discover.
PALE AND INTERESTING
I've been after a decorative globe for my home for yeeeears. I've got plenty of maps but I haven't been able to decide on a globe; do you go down the very expensive antique route, for a purposefully garish, colourful modern one, a high contrast version in glossy black and white or a simplified, whitewashed one? I'm quite taken with this pale globe from Laura Ashley...
Its neutral colours would fit in well with any living room or study and the faded, sun-bleached styling makes it look vintage but has the added benefit of geographical accuracy.
