It’s party time! And there are lots of slinky, exciting numbers around. So all you Christmas sophisticates get moving. Add tops to simple, sleeveless dresses and Hey, Presto! You’ve doubled your party outfits. Search around street markets for strips of exotic fabric — wind them round your head or drape them around your shoulders. Go wildly Eastern by wearing satin pants and sexy, close-fitting blouses. Use a little imagination and transport yourself (and escorts!) into a fantasy world. Can you hear Middle-Eastern music? You’re in the land of The Thousand And One Nights.

Spring has taken on a romantic air – with light dresses, billowing skirts and full sleeves. The fabric for day is cotton, especially voile. For evening, crepe is a great favourite. The lines are seductive – wear low v-necks, hats with lots of veiling and an antique brooch. Find an old shawl or crochet your own. If you’ve time to hunt you needn’t spend much money.
Some of my favourite designers, my favourite looks, one of my favourite photographers and two of my favourite models: Charlotte Martin and Mouche. Perfection.
