The Best Patek Philippe Models Ever Made

Not many watch brands carry the same prestige and respect as the Patek Philippe. Sitting alongside Vacheron Constantin and Audemars Piguet in the ‘Holy Trinity’, Patek Philippe watches have the key ingredients that make it one of the greatest watch brands ever and while I may never be able to afford one I can still dream.  From groundbreaking sports watches to elegant dress models, the best Patek Philippe watches aren’t just timekeepers, but are enduring works of art, passed down for generations. Even though the brand’s storied history is peppered with numerous exquisite models, when you ask collectors, auctioneers, or watch aficionados to pick their favourite Patek Philippe model, you’re likely to get a variety of answers. Not their fault, though – Patek indeed has an eclectic portfolio! To make the process easier, The Luxury Hut has compiled the best Patek Philippe watches ever made, while offering insight into what makes each one so special. Whether you acquire a new or pre-own......

Christmas and Valentine’s Day might be behind us for another year, but with many international gift-giving celebrations yet to come, you have plenty more opportunities to show your loved ones around the world how much you care. Choosing a gift for a friend or family member is already tricky enough when you only have to account for personal tastes.

Wine Can you ever go wrong when picking up a bottle of wine to give someone as a present?

Simple Style with Joules

Joules is one of those great British family brands that creates lovely pieces for any season. I love their approach to simple style as well as their use of pretty floral prints. They have a great understanding of combining practicality and style together to make useable but chic clothing that is perfect for a picnic to a date night, walks along to beach or the school run, so when they asked me to review of piece of clothing from their summer collection I couldn't wait. I went with this simple denim tunic that is so comfortable and relaxed but tailored at the waist to give you some shape and I am really impressed with the tunics from Joules I can see myself wearing this at some festivals this year and it's very well made and I am sure it was last for many years to come. I have paired it up with my red cheeky shoes to give a pop of colour and my Radley bag and east silver cuff bracelet for a chic daily look. Wearing a Joules denim dress, Cheeky Shoes, Radly Bag, Cry......

Summer casual

As the days are slowly starting to get shorter and I can feel the change in the air, I am trying to squeeze every moment of sunshine out of this summer, so as long as it's warm enough I am in shorts. When we go on family walks like we did this day, I like to keep it casual. I have paired up a wide neck top from White Stuff with Ralph Lauren supply and denim shorts and my vans, plus my super handy Kanken for carrying all our things we need for a good adventure. John and I also share glasses so technically I am wearing his H&M conscious collection shades. Laura wears - White Stuff shirt, Ralph Lauren shorts, Van shoes, Asos belt, Guess watch H&M conscious collection glasses, Kanken bag This week both John and Mr A have been showing off there style on instagram and Mr A already has a  cute little strut down.

Eco-drive solar powered watches

I love it when style and eco ethics come together and make something wonderful. The less disposable batteries we use and produce the better for the environment so when I stumbled across the Citizen eco-drive watches, which is a range of solar-powered time pieces for both men and women. The Eco-drive works on a simple, yet revolutionary concept as technology harnesses the power of light - from any source, wether natural or artificial and converts it into energy, making it a watch that never needs a battery. You really wouldn't know looking at them that they are any different to any other mid-range watch, they are really chic and elegant and use a mineral glass. When I come to purchase a new time piece I am definitely going to explore more eco options to reduce my carbon footprint as much as possible, in every are of my life. Here are my favourite picks from the range, which can be found on the online retailer Burns Jewellers which has an amazing selection from he Citizen eco-......

An eco casual outfit

So we had glorious weather yesterday and it wasn't to bad the day before, which has meant a lot of time has been spent outdoors the past couple of days, going to a country park and then the beach, the best thing though is that it's been warmer in the evenings. John comes home pretty late on occasion so sometimes it's nice to make a little bit of an effort, throw together a nice salad and sit in the garden and enjoy the clear sky (for once). It was a perfect evening to show off my new shorts from the HM Conscious eco friendly range. I love the olive colour and added sparkle from the beads, they are also a nice loose fabric, I paired it up with my lovely printed top from the sustainable and organic label Prana. When I was cleaning out my wardrobe the other day I came across these shoes, which I haven't worn in such a longtime, possibly even before Mr A was born, they are from Rocket Dog and are really cute, comfy and give a little added lift. The bag my mother picked u......
