If you’re on holiday then you’re a bit like me, chilling and indulging in free time (if you’re managed to send your kids to your parents’ that is). And there is just no beating a cold drink with a view of the sea to end the day, your lips in your mojito, your eyes on the sunset, and everyone else’s eyes on your black dress. So here’s a selection of some of the world’s sexiest beach bars.  

Almost every one of us has, tragically, lost a loved one or close friend because of a cancer. Today August 26th, Australia celebrates its 25th Daffodil Day 2011, in the hope of a brighter future.

I think it’s time to have a look at men’s dress too (the other sense of the term). At the moment, The Fashion and Textile Museum in London has an exhibition on Tommy Nutter (17 April 1943– 17 August 1992), a talented British tailor who shook up the now renown Savile Row, by his modern suits. After all, if we’re going to look our best in our little black dress, we need a man to look the part, wouldn’t you agree ?

The Anvers Fashion Museum (MoMu), in association with Woolmark, has dedicated an exhibition, running until August 14th 2011, on knitwear. Very comfortable and comforting, if you haven’t yet one in your wardrobe, let me tell you, it is a must-have. “What?? A little black knit dress in the summer??!” are you saying ? Well yes, there are many different types of knits, one for every season !
