Summer is long gone, but that doesn't mean the work stops here at Biondi. We’re excited to start sharing some aspects of all the hard work that happens behind the scenes when we bid farewell to summer and embrace the winter months.

Congratulations to Pippa and James Matthews who recently jetted off to the Brando resort named after the one and only Marlon Brando.  I am sure they had hoped for some peace and quiet after such a busy build up to the wedding but at the same time I hope they would like the photographs of them looking elegant, happy, and relaxed.

In our first of the IN/OUT Chelsea interview series, we headed down to Sloane Square to interview the fertility and pregnancy guru, Emma Cannon.

The sun was in full swing last week. In fact, Chelsea was positively scorching as some of our favourite bloggers trotted into the boutique for a pretty exclusive champagne and sushi lunch.

Only last week I was reminded how swimsuits, as we now know them, are relatively new inventions and how popular the WOOL swimsuit was in days of old. The strict Victorians were heavily against disrobing if they went swimming in public, but then their huge, voluminous skirts and the tight woven fabrics of the time proved hard to swim in.

Lucky enough to escape London over the Christmas period, we tracked down Claudine the moment she set foot back in the UK to ask her just how she had spent her time in Thailand

I would hardly call myself a petrol head but did feel that the Rolls-Royce exhibition, which opened yesterday at the Saatchi Gallery, was well worth nipping up the Kings Road for.

Working in a holiday resortwear shop makes me want to travel… every day! Certain colours and styles remind me of adventures abroad pre Husband, pre child, pre Biondi… And some of the new designs for Biondi’s S/S 15 will always remind me of my latest trip to Turks and Caicos last May. The run up to the holiday was frenetic. Various UK swimwear buyers were coming into to see the new 2015 collection from Vix and my own brand Biondi was everywhere I looked - in swatches, paper cuts out and mood boards galore. I was craving the total switch off and downtime with my family.
