Happy Friday everyone! First of all you must have seen that I have changed the design of the blog, I still have a lot to do so bare with me for a few days and I promise next week it will be all perfect! To celebrate the new look of Sylvia's Sparkles and the weekend I am sharing those amazing photos from when I was in France. A best friend is everything, some people meet their best friend later on in life but I find that the true ones are from a young age. Why? because she knows everything about…
Island life
Escaping life for one day, taking the boat, hair blowing in the wind, skin darker, hair lighter, water warmer, days longer, music louder … that's what I call summer. We are half way through summer almost being at the end of July and I am not ready to let go of summer just yet. I wear a lot of white during summer and I am considering wearing a lot more white this winter (actually looking for a cook cocoon coat in white if anyone knows of any) There is something about feeling refreshed and lighter wearing white don't you…
Summer stripes
Howdy! I wore this stripy top a lot (too much) in France, but it goes with everything, white denim when it was chilly and this cute/old J Crew skirt from my old days working for them. Talking about old, how do you guys feel about your age? I am turning 25 tomorrow (wait what already?) I am closer to 30 and half way to 50 how did that happen … I remember clearly turning 15 and 16 and even 18 (although too much Champagne at that point) Anyway I am 25, married, I have lived in 3 countries, traveled…

A London hen do
Have you ever thought of a perfect hen do in London? I have got one for you, ShopStyle teamed up with me and three of my blogger friends to create a perfect London hen do. I have done a few bloggers event but this was by far the best day I have had. We were so lucky to start by breakfast at the Wolseley, who ever said Champagne wasn't allowed for breakfast did not have it with us because it was the perfect drink for a 9 am start ... We then went on to Jo Malone for a little…
Lounging with Beaumont
Evening! Been super late in my post today we had a few power cuts in France today and then I got lazy, I am sharing with you a home and lounging look with Beaumont Organic. Grey and white are two colours I tend to choose for our homes because it's fresh and simple especially when you have apartments you want to make it look bigger and feel brighter. I then usually buy only white and grey for my home wear and loungewear, I love the luxury feel of Beaumont Organic perfect for cozy Sunday mornings in bed reading a…
Minty
Morning friends, I am sharing one of my favourite look today with Reiss, I bought those two items a the sample sale they had in London a couple of months ago, I was so happy like a kid in a candy store, that's what a sample sale can do to you well it can also be very dangerous for your credit card but that's another story. I am a big fan of pale mint this season, the fresh vibe to it really gets me excited. I bought that bag from Reiss too two summers ago on sale and my espadrilles…
What to wear to a hen do
Anyone planning a wedding? a hen do? going to a hen do for a friend's wedding? I got you covered. When packing for a hen do you have to think of a few outfits and a few essentials so for that you can check my ShopStyle Collective picks. This look is what I would wear to a fun hen do in the city, it's feminine, fun and yet super comfy and easy to wear for a whole day of fun. Beaumont Organic knows how to make comfy and soft clothing, I am very impressed with the quality of their products…
What a dress can do to a gal
There aren't a lot of men reading this blog so I can say it: don't you just love wearing dresses? I am a big fan of this one, I was a bit worried about the colour it looked so bright online just as I wanted but was worried the lighting in the photos were different. I was so pleased when it arrived because the colour was just like online. It's not my everyday type of dress but I totally love the style for a fun evening out or a day at the Polo for example. At the moment I…
Beach casual
Howdy! (I am obsessed with Texas don't ask) I hope you are well and had a fab weekend, we woke up really late both days I have not idea how though because it's bright and sunny at 4.30 am everyday and I hate not having shutters in this country! We went for a stroll, did some shoots and played some golf and finally ended the weekend with dinner at our friend's which was oh so delicious mix a Fench gal and her Italian lover and both with a great love for good food? see? you are there yet? imagine…
