Care to add touches of glamour to your life? If
these little practices aren't already in your repertoire, then January is a
fabulous time to introduce them to your weekly routine.
•Sitting down with your favourite magazine and a
piping hot cup of tea or coco in that mug you purchased while travelling.
•Wearing
red lipstick.
•Fresh
flowers for your home.
•Travelling: I like to make it an occasion. I plan a cute but
appropriate outfit. I dress my passport in a chic leather cover. I have my
essentials in my carry-on: Lotion, eye mask, pashmina scarf, lip balm and of
course the necessary reading. And I strut all the way down to the plane.
•Stepping out of a car legs first, so as to show off your shoes.
•Treating yourself to a blow out, whether it is at a salon or at home.
•Purchasing a little something lovely from that
gorgeous-but-far-too-expensive shop that you adore so much, like a beautiful
scented candle or a piece of stationery.
•Sending
a handwritten thank you note to a dear friend.
•Lighting
candles when you are home alone and curling up on the couch with a luxurious
throw.
•Having
your nails perfectly painted.
•Wearing
your most fabulous sunglasses.
•Decorating your home for the seasons.
•Adding
texture and layers to your home décor with a gorgeous wool blanket, ornate and
modern picture frames, metallic accents, delicious scented candles and
sheepskins.
•Accessorizing an outfit; it just feels good and fabulous -- and don't
forget a cocktail ring.
•Showcasing just your most fabulous lipsticks on your bathroom counter
-- I like to feature mine in a glass canister with crystal diamond
paperweights.
•Wearing
an Angora beret, because it's very French of you and rather adorable.
•Dressing for the evening in a glamorous natural fibre like silk, you
can't help but feel elegant, and it radiates.
•A
freshly starched white shirt.
•Ordering a peanut buster parfait for yourself just because. What diet?
•That
sweet moment of calm after a hard-working yoga class; you're lying on your mat
under dimmed lights with only your breathing to focus on... It is a moment of
true serenity.
•Knowing
you have proper stockings and garters on under your dress rather than the usual
tights.
•Laughing freely.
•Speaking confidently in a group of people -- how it becomes you!
•Ordering your drink of choice at each restaurant. Some call it boring,
but I call it a signature and exploratory.
•Having
a signature: Red lips, always in heels, a gold watch or consistently having
perfectly done nails.
