A few weeks back, I was sitting in Waitrose Coffee Shop, when I noticed a young woman enter, wearing a fabulous red jumpsuit. With matching red lipstick and cool sandals. She simply looked stunning. When I passed her table, I had to stop to tell her how fantastic she looked. Her face lit up and as I walked away I felt a little embarrassed at being so effusive to a stranger but I also hoped it had brightened her day.

Strangely, a few days later, a woman stopped me in the street to compliment my outfit and then someone later on my lipstick. This came at EXACTLY the right moment. Lifting a bit of a fragile spirit that day …

Make strangeness a wonderful opportunity to change the course of someon’e day.

So enthused was I that I started on my Summer project … inspired by the colour of said lipstick du saison.
