Editor’s Welcome Hi All, Welcome to the 4th edition of BN23 magazine. We have been overwhelmed by the support we have received since we began at the beginning of the summer and thanks to all of you who have taken the time to contact us with your comments and thoughts. This month, we have been talking to the wonderful Keira Knightly about her portrayal of the Duchess of Devonshire in her new film The Duchess. Our travel team have been discovering the amazing sights, sounds and smells of Morocco and the guys in homes and gardens have been looking at the ways we can use monochrome to brighten up our rooms. Are you an unpaid carer? There are many thousands of people all over the country who selflessly care for their loved ones without payment or praise. Our local charity this month is Care for the Carers who provide support for the hundreds of carers here in East Sussex. If you are a carer or know someone who is, turn to page 14 for details on how Care for the Carers can help. Hope you all have a happy (and safe!) Halloween and Bonfire Night. See you next time.

Black&White T
he world of interiors can be a little confusing sometimes, with the trends changing as rapidly as high street fashions.
That's fine if you've got the budget to indulge in every passing interior whim, but most of us really want a style that will have lasting appeal and doesn't cost a fortune. Look no further than monochrome - a classic which looks just as good in rooms as it does in an outfit.

Property Accessorising with warm, chic touches of 'bling' gold or silver metallics to bring it bang up to date is in the spotlight this autumn as designers celebrate its charms. They're confidently predicting that it will be a leading look all through 2009 and beyond.
So how do you create monochrome magic? Leading interior designer, Karen Howes of This Designs, says: "Black and white and cream are hot colours this season, however it is how you use them that's key”. "It's all about materials as well as colours, so go for polished steel, acrylic and plastic”. "Most importantly, before you start choosing fabrics and furniture decide which style you'd like to go for so you can plan a complete look." There's a whole choice of interpretations from modern and minimal using pure white and jet black, a more rococo style with elaborate pattern and detail, or the glamorous Art Deco feel with mirrored pieces and shiny black surfaces. Use inexpensive fabrics for large expanses such as curtains or loose covers and then have a mini-splurge on some fabulous designer Rowe recommends mixing matt and cushions and accessories like shiny gloss combinations of black vases. together to reflect the light and Follow a few simple monochrome create surface interest. rules to guarantee monochrome "Textured white cushions and success, urges Steven Rowe, head throws make a fantastic contrast of home design at Littlewoods Direct with leather furniture whilst a flash which features a range of designof metallic - silver or gold – will bring standard monochrome homeware at the look bang up to date." budget prices. "It's not simply a case of putting black and white together! Seeing things in black and white Too much black and your means they're clear and totally in decorating scheme becomes heavy focus and that could be the perfect and dark, so always consider the recipe for home decor. balance of colours," he says.

BLACK & WHITE RULES
Set the scene The most versatile choice is white walls, or one black feature wall – in a glossy finish this is dramatic. In general, only the brave opt for all black walls! "Not so," says Anne Thompson, owner of House Couturier. "Using very dark colours can give a luxurious appearance to a room. Rooms on a smaller scale are great areas to decorate with black and white - then get a dramatic effect with fabulous mirrors. "I particularly like a flock wallpaper in black with white skirtings and ceiling, or a black feature wall behind a bed." If that's not your thing, she suggests featuring the colour combination on the floor.
"A black and white floor can look dramatic Whether it's a painted wooden floor, black and white vinyl tiles or a carpet or rug maybe edged with a fabulous black border - the contrasting colours help to set the scene."

Autumn/ Winter trend transition Ease yourself into next season's collections.

ark up your fashion calendars - with Winter looming it's time to take stock of your summer wardrobe and embrace the new season.
High summer hasn't exactly delivered on the sunshine front, leaving some of our spring/ summer 08 trend-led buys barely worn and redundant. But if there's one season we really get our wear out of, it's autumn/winter. Fret not about the changeable weather. Come rain or shine, the fashion forecast for next season is set in stone, taking its lead from the designer catwalks. Worried about what to keep, what to chuck in the charity bag, and what key pieces to invest in for the season ahead? Read on and make the stylish transition from summer to autumn. With these additions your wardrobe will be fully fashion recharged for the season ahead.

Fashion
Daytime Updates Hang on to those super-sheer tops and nautical shorts and hypothermia may beckon. Work these daytime transitional updaters into your wardrobe and you'll be streets ahead. BUY: Two-in-one dresses: Forget the dilemma of matching a top and skirt together, these double-dose dresses do all the deciding work for you. Fab for fashion-friendly officewear. Folk: Potentially the autumn/winter season's the easiest trend to move from summer to winter. Think paisley, folksy prints and purple for autumnal hippy chic. Tartan: The Scot-inspired print is big on day dresses, blouses, jackets, trousers, tights... just about anything! Bump up the transition gradually and wear head-to-toe tartan brights if you dare. KEEP: Maxi dresses; floral prints; embroidered pieces. HUCK: Tribal prints; shrunken blazers.

Eveningwear essentials Summer frocks won't cut it when temperatures start to plummet. Glam up for an autumn/winter night out with these hot must-haves. BUY: Red: The eveningwear colour of choice for the catwalks. Move over LBD, you have some stiff competition with the look-at-me red dress. Lace: Fashion fabric of the moment, a dramatic lace piece will send your wardrobe into 'of-the-moment' status. Evening blouse: The perfect evening wardrobe revitaliser if you're not a dress fan. Keep them flouncy and elegant. KEEP: Fringe dresses; one-shoulder pieces; sequins. CHUCK: Dip-dye dresses; star prints; tiered frocks.
Accessories allowed Updating your accessories box of tricks is the easiest and cheapest way to transform your look to autumn/winter and rival the catwalk's coolest looks. BUY: Patterned tights: As seen at Chanel and Rodarte catwalks, the newest way to cover your pins is with a funky pattern or eyecatching print. Over-knee boots: Play at the pantomime game in thigh high boots but wear with tights to avoid the Pretty Woman look. Bow neckties: One for the fashionistas. This showstopper of a trend will transform natty outfits in an instant. KEEP: Ethnic scarves; clutch bags; vintagestyle jewels CHUCK: Cowboy boots; wooden jewellery; acid bright bags.

Sensory overload
Morocco in
PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A MAGNIFICENT ASSAULT ON THE SENSES IN
MARRAKECH
AND BEYOND
A
s soon as you glimpse a brochure, you know you aren't in for one of those holidays where everybody sits around slowly tanning themselves.
But in the bustling main street of the Moroccan town of Ourzazat, across the High Atlas mountains from Marrakech, the cheerful pep talk from our guide was intended to prepare us for the challenges that lay ahead. Ourzazat, pronounced Wah-za-zat, translates as "no noise" although nobody could understand why. And the only reason it didn't seem very noisy indeed was that our first stop had actually been the heaving heart of Marrakech itself.
