For the past three years I have posted an outfit on Sparkles on Shoes every Friday. Since it is my favorite day of the week it feels like it is a fun way to kick off Friday's and the weekend but, I will admit, sometimes these photos get a bit of a backlog. For instance, even now, I have photos to last me through to the end of October and some of the one's I am posting are a few months old. There is no real harm in this other than by the time I get around to posting sometimes one or two of the items is sold out. And thus my solution, Like To Know It. The combination of my delayed posts and the fact that I share quite a few photos on Instagram that never make it to the blog I want to share a new way with all of you on how you can shop my closet in real time, and ...
My Top 10 for a Weekend in Singapore
At the end of my trip to Bali in the Spring I added on a weekend in Singapore. I could have only had a two hour layover in this capital city but as it was a bank holiday weekend in England and I had heard many good things I decided to spend a bit longer than that! My trip was not quite something out of Crazy Rich Asians (though I highlighly recommend the movie if you have not already seen it) but I did have a busy fun two days exploring this city. I managed to squeeze a whole lot in and have recapped my 10 favorite things for you to do!(1) Eat at Hawkers Market Visiting a true Hawker market has very high on my list of things to do because I like good food and I like it even better when it is inexpensive. I joke with people I would pick food over ...
The Laura Biagiotti Show at Milan Fashion Week
Two weeks ago I gave you a sneak peak of some of my favorites looks in my Highlights from Milan Fashion Week but the Laura Biagiotti show was arguably the best one I went to. Not only was it on the official schedule (denoting a big brand) but it was a designer with decades of history. And if that was not enough, the venue was absolutely stunning. When you Google the Piccolo Teatro Studio Melato the venue space is described as a studio in the performing arts complex hosting a range of events from experimental dance & flamenco to classic drama. And in this case, the Laura Biagiotti Milan Fashion Week show. A few days before the show I had known from my RSVP I was “”balcony” seating as as that was not a fixed location I arrived nearly 30 minutes ...
My Cyprus Holiday Highlights
After five days in Cyprus I’m back in London - a little tanner, a little blonder, and a lot more well rested. At the start of last week I got a touch of the stomach flu and the few days before the flight were touch and go. However, once I arrived I started feeling instantly better and I wanted to share with you my Cyprus holiday highlights The main treason I chose Cyprus and Ayia Napa specifically was because I wanted somewhere in Europe that was still warm in mid October, plus, somewhere that had good scuba diving. Thus, when I saw the Zenobia wreck and that the weather was in the 80s (30 Celsius) I booked the trip. But because I’m nothing if not competitive, I did my PADI Advanced Open Water Certification in only 2 days, leaving me three to explore. My first day I slept in and ...
