The last few days of the year are here and I’m looking forward to a little time off, blowing on hot cups of tea, bundling up in my blanket and reading, a fair bit of traveling and some celebrating…
To all you Miles Of Style readers, sponsors, one time visitors, long time friends and loving family – My heartfelt thanks for your interest, loyalty, support, inspiration, warmth and humour. It means more to me than you can ever imagine…
Happy Holidays and see you next year!

“ The highest and the most beautiful things in life are not to be heard about, or read about, nor seen but are to be lived. ”

Renata Boeck and Zooey Deschanel – some of the most beautiful women of their time.

Multiple classic garments that contrast each other worn with eclectic accessories - brooches, tights, necklaces, ankle socks, fur-trimmed bags and hats… Nobody does the layered look better than J. Crew. It’s Fall 2010 Ready to Wear Collection is one amongst my favourites for year.
The patterns, the textures, the little bursts of colour, the whole collection is just some kind of wonderful!
While most of us wouldn’t be able to pull off these catalogued looks in their entirety, it would be a good idea to deconstruct the outfits and find some affordable basics along with some really special pieces for the upcoming festivities.

“There is a harmony in autumn, and a lustre in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen, as if it could not be, as if it had not been!”

It’s about time I bid my favourite season of the year Fall a fond farewell and say hello to Winter. And what better way to let the cold weather in but with these gorgeous pictures of a winter wedding bride.

Are you enjoying the beginning of Winter?
Mademoiselle Mermaid’s leg warmers, crochet gloves and whimsical Alice in Wonderland accessories are the stuff my winter dreams are made of.
How gorgeous are these crocheted accessories? Each piece is handmade by Renae.
For those of you longing for some sunshine already, Renae’s first collection Tropic of Paradise is sure to delight tropic girls and sun-seekers alike. It consists of five flirty ensembles with lots of pearls and fabric flower accessories to compliment them.
I love the prints of these ethereal & breezy dresses.

Vintage Queen Lyn Gardener’s home has been shown in several interior magazines and websites. And yet, I can’t help sharing images of this charming house as it offers an exceptional lesson in recycling.
Originally a mattress factory, Lyn has beautifully renovated this two story warehouse into a light, breezy and unapologetically girly haven.
