Chef and social media

We recently watched the movie Chef. Chef is written, produced, directed by and starring Jon Favreau. Favreau plays a professional chef who, gets into a very public war of words with a food critic/blogger…. we won’t spoil the rest of the movie but, here’s the official trailer which gives away most of the story.

As always there will be a mix of music to suit all tastes – country, pop, gospel, easy listening...

Get your hat right We love this layered look which was captured by Streetstyle website Trendycrew. We really like the mixture of textures, and the dark green colour. The colourful necklace is a fun addition to a rather serious ensemble. Our favourite part of this outfit is the fedora hat....
