Jabra Elite 65t Earbuds Review

Jabra Elite 65t Earbuds Review

I've been using a pair of Jabra 65t earbuds for a while now and they have become pretty invaluable. Going out without them feels as bad as leaving your phone at home.
Aesthetically, the Elite 65t is a pretty compact pair of earbuds and are well shaped to sit, largely, flush with your ears. They are supplied with 3 pairs of eargels, I use the largest. They fit snugly and have never fallen out or even come loose while I’ve been using them. The 65t’s are comfortable and light and actually, you don’t even notice you are wearing them.

Surrey Clockmaker Creates Iconic Replica Of The First John Harrison Clock

Surrey Clockmaker Creates Iconic Replica Of The First John Harrison Clock

Following his experience restoring a client’s John Harrison clock, Surrey-based specialist clockmaker Matthew King has created what is believed to be the first ever replica of the earliest Harrison wooden clock, originally produced in 1713 by John Harrison, who later succeeded in solving the problem of calculating longitude while at sea.
To make the clock replica, self-taught clockmaker Matthew had no guides or instructions, but instead took much of his direction from the original Harrison clocks and his own research. The project was a true exploration of Matthew’s passion.

Expert Bridal Spring Wedding Make-up & Beauty Tips

Having been a professional make-up artist for more than 20 years, I’ve worked on countless editorials. Some of my favourites have been bridal campaigns for Vera Wang, one of the most iconic wedding dress designers, and I often get asked about bridal make-up. I have done the make-up for so many brides on their wedding day that I’ve developed something of a foolproof formula that always goes down well.

New Open Art Fair Duke Of York Square Chelsea

New Open Art Fair Duke Of York Square Chelsea

There will be thousands of objects at the  Open Art Fair from an eclectic and inter- disciplinary mix of dealers, to surprise and delight visitors who relish ‘intellectual and decorative shopping’.
 
This apt phrase comes from a new book (The Man in the Red Coat by Julian Barnes)  true story of three French grandees of the Belle Epoque (1880s and 90s), a prince, a baron, and innovative  surgeon  to the great and good:  all three dedicated  aesthetes, aware that the West End of London would be the most promising destination for a treasure hunt. .    .

At The ‘Champions League’ Of Communicators In Milan

At The ‘Champions League’ Of Communicators In Milan

Back in late 2018 when I took a plane to Italy’s fashion capital, Milan, little did I realise that an event I attended among a host of top listed on the Borsa Italiana and some unquoted companies would prove key to a story I penned on an advertising debacle that one major Italian fashion house had unwittingly caused in China.

DS7 Crossback - Life Is Too Short To Drive Boring Cars

DS7 Crossback - Life Is Too Short To Drive Boring Cars

In 2009 PSA the parent company of Peugeot Citroen and now Vauxhall resurrected the DS name. They used it to denote certain models in the range as premium: for example the Citroen DS3 Citroen DS4 Crossback. It was always part of the Citroen range, then in 2015 PSA decided that they would make the DS a stand-alone luxury brand, a halo brand if you will.
On face value, the DS7 Crossback is just a large SUV. There are a lot of them about, 5 seats, nice interior, nothing particularly unusual or special.

Tastes of Italy: Volcanic Wines For An Explosive Festive Season

Tastes of Italy: Volcanic Wines For An Explosive Festive Season

Christmas and New  Year are all about tradition from the religious aspects leading through to two occasions when memorable dinners are de rigueur.  For these festivities, you can justify exploring beyond the normal choices. For me, the best wines are those fresh discoveries; they add new, pleasurable and exciting experiences to the dinners.
