4 | September 2012 Welcome GUEST EDITOR's letter September is the month for renewal. Although not the ‘official’ start of the year, it is the beginning of a new academic year and the time to get your little ones kitted out for school. Don’t worry if you aren’t yet ready, we have done the leg work for you and comprised a concise back to school guide in this issue. This month also provides an opportunity for adults to start afresh. This issue is packed with tips on how you can better manage your time and our wellbeing article looks at the art of improving your memory (yes, it is a possibility!). You can breathe new life into your home by clearing out clutter and embracing longlasting furnishing options. In our ‘Eau Natural’ home feature, we suggest you fill your home with natural fabrics and textures that will be making a comeback in the new season collections. As usual, we have you covered in the fashion and beauty departments. We’ve assembled the absolute must-haves for a girl’s night out and gathered work-wear essentials to ensure you always are on top of the office fashion pyramid. Plus, we’ve picked luxe jewellery house Piaget as the shop of the month; find out why inside. Take a look at the newest cosmetic items and fragrances on the market, including a scented nail polish and a fabulous new launch from the ultimate house of fashion, Chanel. Plus, we’ve squeezed in a feature on chic French brand Chloé, as it celebrates 60 years in business. Enjoy!
