"You know me, I live in la la land where it's all kaftans and champagne".
My friend and I laughed,
knowing there was more than an element of truth to my statement.
After a number of hugely
successful learning curves, (otherwise known as epic failures), one of the
things I came to realise about myself was that I would happily sacrifice more
than a few essentials in order to keep myself up to date with vogue.
Maintaining a sense of style in everything I did was an essential part of
me and no external force or circumstance was ever going to change that.
It's reminds me of the now famous SATC quote, "When I first moved to New York I
bought Vogue instead of dinner. I just felt it fed me more"
Fast track to 2013. I have
started a styling business, I'm blogging about fashion, and playing with
facebook and pinterest is part of my daily routine.
And then the question was asked of me, 'So what is "Nothing less than chic"?'
The word chic has become a
term in fashion that is either loved or loathed. Granted, it is thrown around a
lot.
For me, chic is a sense of
style, and "nothing less than chic" is about realising it in our
everyday lives and the good news, is that it doesn't have to come with a luxury price-tag or a label...unless you so choose.
It's swanning around in a gorgeous Kaftan when I'm home alone on a Sunday
afternoon; it's putting a splash of paint on a wall, and hanging white sheers to create a chic backdrop; it's keeping the cushions
fluffed and plump for the benefit of no-one but you (it's true I have been told
to step away from the cushions..), it's pouring yourself a glass of wine or
champagne and grabbing a sneaky half an hour to read your favourite Magazine...
It's about bringing a little bit of chic into your everyday.
