The actress’s style is minimalist, classic never showy with confidence and assurance clearly her most precious accessories as we remember the woman never the dress.   

Speaking of what makes her ageless at 71, Bisset’s grace and joire de vivre, comes she confides, from ‘still enjoying an adventure from time to time’.

YEAR OF THE FIRE MONKEY

February will herald in a change of astrological signs. 2016, as it turns out, is the Year of The Fire Monkey which officially starts on Mon, Feb. 8.  As this auspicious occasion is looming, here’s a quick run down on what this mischievous primate has in store for us all.

The Chinese horoscope is based on twelve animals that are used to define certain years, so if you were born in: 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992 or 2004 those are the Monkey years.Fire Monkey Traits:  Intelligent, witty, inventive!

When our research team went on ‘red alert’ to find out from learned sources what the significance is, we discovered the Year of the Fire Monkey will bring flux, chaos and potential trickery (for all) so it might be prudent to take care of whom you heed advice from and be ready for the unexpected. On a positive note though, and in-case you felt prone to paralysis, bear in mind that with the Monkey’s enthusiastic energy your plans can succeed as long as you avoid useless tail-chasing, a favourite Monkey pass time.

We recommend sporting the lucky colours and definitely wearing chic red to fuel the fun!
Lucky Colours: Red, gold, white and blue

Enjoy some Pinspiration, with looks and accessories for the season that caught our eye, starting with

the Pyramid ‘Gold’ Scarf Ring from the Liberatti Gold Collection.  (For 70 cm Hermès or scarves of a similar size). Pyramids are known for their magical powers and a gold Scarf Ring is a simple yet stylish accent.

As you gaze out over the year ahead and contemplate what's in store...remember that...

Stand back and look at the big picture

Don’t fail to plan, figure out your goals and what matters …

Stay out of trouble…

Avoid dark places and gloomy people

  And if adversity comes …ride the wave …find your own path down the face of change…

     Make more time for fun….

 Find your place in the sun…

Play hard and play to win …

Look to your friends, they will be a tremendous support …

There’re no friends like old friends …

Believe in rainbows…

et creative, it is one of the most under rated and powerful skills we have and anyone can do it …

Above all…

Do what ever it takes to keep your dreams alive ..

Camel Crush

The temperature continues to climb down the thermometer and we are enjoying a distinct winter season in Qatar – what a change! Camel coats are perfect for this time of year because they look lighter than most dark colored coats and they coordinate with almost every color.

Camel compliments a wide palette from white, ivory, grey, denim, navy and black to many shades of brown. Camel is the perfect winter coat, so wear it your way and take in some inspiration and suggestions for your shopping.

With Hermès Scarf and Liberatti Scarf Ring – Vintage shopping for coats is a must at least once per winter!
