It's that time of year again and with it comes party season!</div>
<br />
I love fur anytime but especially during the festive season, this jacket by DVF is perfect to glam up most outfits and to keep out the cold on winter evenings. Velvet is everywhere at the moment and is fab for the party season! My fave velvet number is <a href="https://www.shopatanna.com/by-second-female/valino-pant-dark-anthracite" target="_blank">Second Female's wide leg trousers</a>, they're a great cut (I'll also wear them in the day styled with white trainers and a tee). I've teamed them with <a href="https://www.shopatanna.com/mes-demoiselles/soa-top-grey" target="_blank">Mes Demoiselles silk cami</a>... I always find a silk cami so handy for evening wear styling. <span style="text-align: center;">Finish the look with this chain strapped <a href="https://www.shopatanna.com/diane-von-furstenberg/love-power-mini-satin-drawstring-sand" target="_blank">silk pouch bag by DVF</a>.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">This Rixo dress is one of my favourites, the fit is amazing and I love the open back. The black is broken up by colourful embroidery... very on trend.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Last weekend was perfect... The sun was shining so RP and I decided on a little jaunt to Richmond for a walk and then shopping and lunch at <a href="https://petershamnurseries.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Petersham Nurseries</a>. We are doing some work on our house so I'm on the lookout for interesting pieces... and there are plenty of yummy things at Petersham.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">RP doesn't like shopping AT ALL so the lure of Petersham Cafe and the promise of a wonderful meal was exactly what I needed to keep him interested in all the 'bric a brac' (his words not mine!)</span><br />
<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">It's the perfect place for wishing and dreaming... You just need quite a full wallet (for the one-off furniture pieces) and an empty stomach (for the wonderful food)!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Enjoy Lunch.......</span><br />
<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Well worth a visit.</span><br />

What can I say ....... My favourite and the only 'Juice Master' has written a <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Super-Fast-Food-Chef-Required/dp/0954766474" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">COOKBOOK</a>!! </div>

Jason is not only one of the funniest guys I've ever met, he's a walking (jumping) juice bean and now also a brilliant healthy chef. Just when we were all thinking of going back to Nigella and full fat, good old Jas comes up with an absolute gem!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've tried a few of the recipes and they were all super tasty. I urge you all to have a go.....oh but word of warning, Jas has been a bit tight on the prep time...this mint 'n' rocket hummous, 2 mins prep time!! Do me a favour, took me 2 mins to open the butter beans tin!!</div>

Primrose Park is my own label that I wholesale to other stores and of course I sell it in ANNA. I thought I'd take this opportunity to share a few of my favourite styling ideas and how I'll be wearing the collection this Autumn.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">As a flower lover I am excited to see the new <a href="http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/exhibition/georgia-okeeffe" target="_blank">Georgia O’keeffe exhibition at the Tate</a>, it’s a rare chance to see her paintings outside the US. The exhibition re-examines her entire career, her development, her trajectory west, and the profound influence she had on 20th century modernism. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><i><b>While you’re there… </b></i>nip across to the to the new Tate Modern building and up to the 10th floor for the 360 views of the London skyline!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Continuing in my love of all things floral… I love a visit to <a href="https://petershamnurseries.com/" target="_blank">Petersham Nurseries</a>, a tranquil oasis away from the hustle and bustle. This internationally prized garden centre is great for all my plant needs and I can always pick up a few bits in the gift and antique shop. Follow this up with lunch in the beautiful greenhouse restaurant and you have the perfect day out!</span><br />

Unfortunately our party was too big for the much talked about chefs table (max 8), so thats on my to do list this summer! It’s described as a ‘dinner and a show’, an interactive foodie adventure looked after exclusively by the chef!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I've just returned from a working trip to India, very lovely but extremely hot in Delhi so while the samples were being finished I managed to sneak off to The Ananda in the Himalayas, an absolute must... I digress I'll tell more next blog post... back to books. So while I was there I read a fabulous book, <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Where-River-Parts-Radhika-Swarup/dp/1910124761" target="_blank">'Where The River Parts' by Radhika Swarup</a>. A novel based in India so very topical but enjoyable anywhere I'm sure! A moving and perceptive story of love seeped in history, packed with insight compassion and piercing detail! A very quick page turner so make sure you take more than just this book on your travels!</span><br />

A heart warming novel that I was given by my lovely friend Vicky. <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Man-Called-Ove-Fredrik-Backman/dp/1444775812" target="_blank"> </a></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Man-Called-Ove-Fredrik-Backman/dp/1444775812" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">'A Man Called Ove' by Frederick Backman</a>.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Now I feel slightly bereft as I've just finished the final book of The Neapolitan Novels, <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Story-Lost-Child-Neapolitan-Novels/dp/1609452860" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">'The Story of the Lost Child' by Elena Ferrante</a>. I thoroughly recommend this series. Book one is a gentle book setting the scene for the rest of the books, persevere with the first as book two, three and finally four are superb. A fabulous portrait of friendship and life in Naples during the 60s and 70s.</span><br />

Salinger</a>. If you haven't read this already it's a must but also if you read it when you were younger then I urge you to pick it up again. I hope, like me, you find it better second time round! Short and punchy and written in such a style that is still edgy even today and remains on some banned book lists!</span><br />

I'm not a great lover of shorts... obviously... but sometimes I do feel the need to stop worrying about 'the leg issue' and get them on. These are my old favourites, Current Elliot ripped white shorts, I'm far too old for them but what the hell... But if like me you want to forget the age thing then wear shorts with loose forgiving layering tops, hide the bottom and tops of the thighs with a longer kaftan or kimono.<br />
One more tip; always accessorise... it draws the eye away from the bits that you are not so keen on!<br />

Every year around this time I have a shop full of kaftans, all of which I love, sadly everyone thinks that kaftans are only for swanning around on holiday. Thankfully though, I believe that there is a place for them in everyday city life so I thought I'd give you a few ideas on how to wear my favourites.<br />

Primrose Park is my own collection that is available at ANNA but also other fabulous stores; The Cross, Precious, Cavells... to name a few.<br />
<div>
The label was created for women that love colour and print, I totally believe that the older we get the more colour and print we should wear! Greys, black and beige can be safe but terribly draining so try and steer clear of these dull colours next to your face.</div>

I found these fab little specs in Paris on one of my many trips scouting around.<br />
<div>
They were in a lovely concept store called Merci. They are now available in various stores across Paris and London and I can absolutely see why...</div>
<div>
They are a must for everyone that needs magnified help when reading... my arms just aren't long enough any more and it's really uncool to hold the menu at arms length in one of those swanky eateries. Mind don't get me onto restaurants in London... maybe that will be my next blog post, when was it acceptable to think £150 per head is reasonable??????</div>
<div>
Sorry, back to See Concept, the company was started by a couple of cute French boys straight out of Uni, they sell the brand themselves and the passion remains at the heart of the company.</div>
<div>

<br /></div>
<div>
They vision strength ranges from +0 to +3 they come in an array of colours so that you can be really mad or quite straight, they are bendy and really well priced £29 -£39, so you can buy a couple of pairs to suit your mood.... as you can see I went for MAD!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We also sell the sunnies that also come 0 to +3.<br />
<br />
Available in ANNA stores.</div>

This season sees the return of Odd Molly in ANNA.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Tribute collection is very strong and i can see the original quirky style has returned. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whilst choosing my pieces for the stores i have a quick bite and some water, more often than not i drink too much coffee and eat too many biscuits in the appointments, its good to get some real food!</div>

Here i am with Sam making my selection. I am very conscious of choosing the correct shapes and washes for my client base rather than high trend driven, niche pieces. Everything in ANNA is personally picked by me. I like everything but obviously i am only ever one size and one age at one time so i can't wear everything all the time. </div>

</div>
Friends with benefits... I feel very lucky indeed... not only do I have fabulous friends, I have fabulous friends with an amazing lodge in South Africa! Bingo, 5star safari with the best guides...<br />
<div>
After a week in Cape Town watching the test match, myself, RP and the boys flew to Durban and then on to Kwazulu-natal and onto The Phinda Game Reserve.</div>
<div>
This was no ordinary safari, we saw The Big Five within hours of arriving and then every drive delivered something sensational, ranging from the roar of the king of the jungle to tree climbing lions (lions generally don't climb!). We were treated to remarkable hospitality, breakfast in the bush, bush trekking and champagne fuelled night drives.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So much luxury! I urge you to visit this South Africa for a truly magnificent lifetime experience... also pound against the rand keeps it affordable!</div>
<div>
Check out. And beyond.</div>

I just wanted to quickly share this restaurant with you, if you haven't been you simply must go, it's food and drink heaven! My son, Jack and I nipped in last week for a quick nibble at lunchtime. We sat at the 'high' table in the middle of the small intimate dining area. Nothing was too much trouble, the staff are attentive and charming, I even got a taster of the 'Christmas cocktail, because the barman saw me drooling as he was shaking!!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm off to a big concert event that my husbands company puts on each year, I'm told it's an informal Christmassy evening, oh no... what do I wear to that! Well this is my idea of easy concert dressing! You can't go wrong with <a href="http://www.rag-bone.com/womens/jean/denim/legging-W1503O163.html#start=1" target="_blank">black legging/jeans by Rag and Bone</a> and a <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?Ntt=sequin&storeId=12556&productId=20972827&urlRequestType=Base&categoryId=&langId=-1&productIdentifier=product&catalogId=33057" target="_blank">statement sequin cami from good old Topshop</a>! (And of course, my fav <a href="http://www.matchesfashion.com/products/Raf-Simons-X-Adidas-Stan-Smith-leather-trainers-1020790" target="_blank">Raf trainers</a>!) </div>

As a treat for my lovely friend Sarah I thought we'd give foraging a go at <a href="http://daylesfordcookeryschool.co.uk/event-tickets/game-wild-food-foraging/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Daylesford</a>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Both of us love rummaging around in the undergrowth, er, that sounds a bit weird but I think you know what I mean. Anyway, it was a day at Daylesford in Gloucestershire foraging and cooking wild game and fabulous homegrown produce! I love cooking and I urge all like minded try hard cooks to get away from the normal rat race cooking track and give this a go, it was a fabulous day!</div>

The Primrose Hill Film Club is a great community run project that shows world and classic cinema and offers to showcase short films by local film makers. It was a great honour for me to introduce Roman Holiday as Audrey Hepburn has always been my style icon. <br />

Audrey was born to a Dutch mother and an English father in 1929.
She began acting after failing to reach her dream of becoming a ballet dancer. She was brought to the worlds attention after appearing in Roman Holiday for which she won an Oscar.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
After appearing in American vogue and becoming Givenchy's muse the world embraced her and recognised her unique beauty. Audrey believed that her iconic style came from Mr Givenchy and never recognised the beauty that came from with in her.
She believed her feet and ears too big and the rest of her too flat!!
But she was obviously wrong about that! Hepburn became the worlds most adored style icon, AND she has just been voted Britain's most stylish icon of all time....22 years after her death!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Her iconic image is replicated all over the world by all sorts of women, her uniform cropped Capri pants, flat ballet shoes and LBD's are still best selling items in fashion stores today.
But I believe like Mr Givenchy that beauty and style come from within the person. You cannot buy style. Audrey Hepburn had beauty everywhere. Her voice was soft and mesmerising, her eyes were always expressive and dancing and her personality was playful and forever child like. She said of Hubert de Givenchy, ' his are the only clothes in which I am myself. He is far more than a couturier, he is a creator of personality!'
How true this is, I always say to my clients, if you feel comfortable and confident you will look and feel beautiful, however beautiful clothes WILL NOT make you feel beautiful and confident!!<br />
<br />
Audrey will always be our style icon.<br />

<span class="s1">I love reading, I can totally lose myself in a book, I'm not a big fan of the kindle but I do appreciate that is very portable. It’s great when you're older as you don’t have to wear glasses, you just make the font bigger… I’ll be on three words a line soon! Also, I can have a sneaky read while RP snores beside me (due to the lit screen). Holiday reading is my idea of heaven; sunshine, sunbed and a good book! So here are a few of my favourite reads now that the holiday season is upon us!</span></div>
<div class="p1">

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>Elephant Moon by John Sweeney</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
I bought this book as it is based on an incredible true story about the journey through Burma by orphans during WW2 and the bond between them and a herd of elephants. I found it gripping and very readable and I was totally amazed by not only the story and the outcome but the intelligence of the elephants and children. An easy read, perfect for holidays. <span class="s1"></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>I am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
I always love a good thriller… and wow this is a bloody good page turner! A fast moving spy thriller based on the smallpox virus and the devastation that this could cause in the wrong hands. Scary food for thought! <span class="s1"></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>My Brilliant Friend</b> <b>by Elena Ferrante</b></div>
<div class="p2">
My brilliant friend gave me this book, it’s about close friendship, rivalry and the mutual influence of two young girls growing up in naples. It portrays the girl’s friendship and the community they come from. It’s both realistic and illuminating, just like Fi my brilliant friend who gave it to me! It’s part of a trilogy (I haven’t read the others yet).<span class="s1"></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>The Turning Point by Freya North</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
I am going to recommend this even though I haven't read it yet, one of our stores is mentioned in it! The publisher very kindly sent me a copy. It is based in North Norfolk and my love of North Norfolk is so strong that I am sure I will love it, I can’t wait to start it! Tissues at the ready! It will be interesting as I don’t normally read love stories…<span class="s1"></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br />
<span class="s1"></span></div>
<div class="p2">
One last must read is We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves by Karen Joy Fowler. Please read this, believe me it's heart breaking and hilarious!</div>

I thought I'd share a couple of beauty secrets with you as recently friends and clients have been complimenting me on the condition of my skin, Sally at Beach Beauty in Camden is the key! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I've never really been one for loads of maintenance but these three things I think are essential if you have the time (and cash flow)- </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
1. Manicure</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
2. Facial</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
3. Hair</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I hate having scruffy chipped nails so a quick 'shape and paint' in between full manicures is a good money saver. I use Rachel (07841408589) at Home, Rachel is a travelling beauty therapist who is not only fantastic at all treatments but also gives the best massage RP has ever had! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
If you prefer a salon then <a href="http://www.beachbeauty.co.uk/" target="_blank">Beach Beauty</a> (Camden) is the place. Sally does the most amazing facials, she not only has fabulous state of the art anti ageing machines but she also has 'magic' fingers! I let her work her magic and use whatever she thinks necessary. Here I am having an Environ Facial using her newest equipment, it feels a bit weird but it works and the results are great, I recommend 1 a month, £70 well worth it in my view.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I also have just started to put some lights in my hair. Reaching 50 I decided, with Stacy (at <a href="http://nc1stfloor.com/" target="_blank">The Salon</a>, Bond Street) my colourist, that it was time to soften the colour around my face... love it!</div>

Spring is here so I've embraced the season with pastels even though it continues to rain! I feel fresh and summery and I'm still managing to keep warm. I've teamed my Velvet pink sweat with these uber trendy <a href="http://www.levi.com/GB/en_GB/womens-jeans/p/178040001" target="_blank">Levi's 501 CT jeans</a>, these are a season 'must have' if you can get them, they sell like hot cakes!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I bought this By Malene Birger coat last year for a wedding, worn with a cream dress it looked elegant and smart but I love the fact that I can now wear it dressed down with jeans, that's what I call economising!! <a href="http://shop.mango.com/ficha.faces;jsessionid=58ADE8CCDD5BC1F16371E6890092F771?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Shopping+-+GB&state=she_006_IN&utm_term=410635602385006" target="_blank">Mango does a similar one</a> for a fraction of the price.</div>

As you know by now I love to accessorise, this <a href="http://www.shopatanna.com/anna-scarves/10757-check-scarf-whisper-pink-ink/" target="_blank">scarf </a>works well with pastels or navy, also it's a lovely sarong on holiday! </div>

Can you imagine how surprised I was when RP, my husband, suggested a week in Portugal at a JUICE retreat.... blimey I really thought he'd gone mad!<br />
<br />
But to my delight we went, climbed the mountain, had colonics, drank the juice, got the t-shirts (and the books) AND most importantly came away feeling fabulous!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The day for me began at 6.20am with a swim in the lake with Janet, the most wonderful yoga teacher. Followed by yoga, a hike ( RP joined me at this point) and on our return we were greeted with our first juice of the day.... and wow this tasted good! All this and it was only 10.30am!! Then... exercise, juice, yoga, rest, juice, colonic, yoga, soup and bed!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This was a hard but a fantastic week that energised me, cleansed me and really made me think about the home I live in.... my body! </div>

I LOVE rips and shredding at the moment! Today I'm wearing 'rips on rips' with my lovely Raquel Allegra ripped cashmere jumper, 3x1 ripped jeans and my NEW <a href="http://www.gucci.com/uk/styles/355238CLG007011#" target="_blank">Gucci loafers</a>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://raquelallegra.com/" target="_blank">Raquel Allegra</a> is a recent discovery for me. She pioneered the shredding technique after her laborious experiments creating full length webbed cocoons out of oversized vintage t-shirts. This technique is now synonymous with her brand. I love the contrast of the cashmere and rips in this jumper, her garments are always really unique. My jumper has sold out but you can buy some of Raquel Allegra's other things <a href="http://www.shopatanna.com/raquel-allegra/" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

Ripped jeans continue to be big for the coming seasons, invest in a pair now! Mine are by great US brand <a href="http://3x1.us/womens-jeans" target="_blank">3x1</a>. For something readily available this side of the pond go for <a href="http://www.levi.com/GB/en_GB/category/women/jeans/collections/levi-collections-501ct/" target="_blank">Levi 501 CT's</a>. I have just snapped up a pair! They are the perfect slim boyfriend that can be worn up-sized for a looser fit, true-to-size for a regular fit, or down-sized for a slimmer more modern fit. They were re-released today... last time they sold out in 24 hours, so get in there quickly! Watch this space for a post on them soon...</div>

For a pop of colour I'm wearing my recent investment, <a href="http://www.gucci.com/uk/styles/355238CLG007011#" target="_blank">Gucci loafers</a>, a style classic... which (I hope) will last me a lifetime... or until I get bored of them! </div>

I really love this latest trend! I've been gagging to wear trainers with EVERYTHING for years and now I finally can. I love the <a href="http://www.shopatanna.com/philippe-model/vl13-classic-bassa-donna-basic-white/" target="_blank">Philippe Model white trainers </a>that I wear with anything from shorts to dresses. I also love anything with glitter and sparkle so the <a href="http://www.shopatanna.com/golden-goose-deluxe-brand/g26d124m2-sneaker-slide-blue-glitter-purple/" target="_blank">Golden Goose mid boot</a> is perfect, especially nice with a maxi dress, every time I wear these I get loads of compliments!<br />
<br />
Don't be scared to team these trainers with your day to day wardrobe, don't think too much about matching as they really do go with everything, just wear them with confidence! Always look for a trainer that has the hidden wedge, you get a heel without even realising it, some of them have built in wedges of about 2inches! Below are some of my faves...</div>
