f you read last month’s editor’s letter, you will have noted that I’ve been a little pressed of late. I vowed (and beseeched you all as well) to dial down the stress levels via the default calm that ensues during Ramadan. Lo and behold, that, I did. The intent is always perfectly placed year
upon year but never do I normally follow through. Now that the batteries are fully recharged, I am ready for more slow-paced days this summer. Best not to get used to it as come September, our fingers will be relentlessly tap dancing on the keyboards.
After a delayed drop, welcome to our July issue! The heart of the summer and the best of high and street fashion combined, getting you ready for a season of jet-set travel itineraries and wardrobes. Flick through our style and beauty pages and be inspired by our carefully crafted looks with expert tips and tricks on how to get that all-important summer glow. I have a particular penchant for Laura Mercier and love the step-by-step guide on mastering the it-look for sun-kissed days with the Joie de Vivre collection. You can find that on our beauty insight pages. Elsewhere in the issue we have words and strong visuals from both the creative director of Paule Ka and TUMI, two brands which epitomise the essence of summer with their fun, functional and unique collections, perfect for a powerful woman set to take on any part of the world with panache.
