I love, love, love our cover star this month. She’s kinda cool, don’t you think? OK, so she’s a robot but, well, our main feature is Women in Technology so, it makes perfect sense, no? And, I must say, I’m absolutely delighted to be sharing these stories. It never ceases to amaze me how many incredible, inspiring women there are on this little island and this lot are some of the funkiest yet. Not only are they making an emphatic mark in what is often seen as a man’s world, but many of them are using technology to help others while forging their own businesses. I have to admit, as one who is frequently frozen in despair (or outright, destructive fury) as some gadget or other (usually my laptop) refuses to do what I want, I am somewhat in awe of these ladies. They’ve even got me considering taking a tech course in the hope of holding my own against the machines.
Elsewhere this month, Fernanda is thinking holidays and she’s come up with the perfect capsule wardrobes for travelling either north or south. Since I have a rather important wedding to attend in a couple of months, I was excited to see her hats page too. I love the super-large concoctions but I’m not sure I would get one on my head which is, unfortunately, also rather large. Do you have a specific body part that’s really hard to shop for? If the answer’s yes, I’d be interested to hear how you’ve coped. For now, I’m resigned to wearing fascinators for the rest of my life, or at least until milliners realise we don’t all have tiny, neat heads – or hands or feet for that matter!
If you’re not planning a holiday, this month’s Homes section gives an update on a classical coastal theme, with lovely colours of sea blue and tawny sandy hues. I know we have the sea all around us here but I honestly never get tired of these tones and I’m always happy to see the latest twist on seaside style.
As usual, we’ve got our regular round-ups of news from the world’s of fashion and beauty and wise words from our columnists Pria, Ouiam and Lahan. So, happy reading and I really hope you enjoy the issue as much as I’ve enjoyed putting it together.
