When one wears colours in the same tone range, a little splash of colour will spice the outfit. Like shown here the Goyard bag brings back the pale orange from the Herrera waistcoat. The latest trend on neck tie’s is that they are made of Tweed woven in a herringbone pattern.

Banoffi pie, this classic English dessert is really easy to make. I all ways make it in a nice glass so you can see the layering. Make with melted butter and biscuit crumbles a thin layer at the bottom of the glass. Put in the fridge for a couple of hours. Meanwhile put in boiling water a tin of sweetened condensed milk for 2,5 hours, the milk will turn into dulce de leche. Put on top of the crumbles slices of bananas and pour the dulce de leche over the bananas. Top off with whipped cream and chocolate bits. Delicious!

We from the headquarters are all ways fond of the combination beach and city. Recently we where in San Sebastian a charming coast town in the Basque coast. We where smitten by the lovely town filled with nice restaurants. {the top 3 Michelin star restaurants are located in this city.} But has also lots to offer in shopping, nice vintage shops and lots of authentic Spanish brands. The evenings are easy to spend in lots of charming bars which all have a wide range of the local tapas ” pinxtos ” to offer. The wide sandy beach is a surfers paradise and has a local charm over it. Nicolicous tip: go for long weekend in September.
