Femme Crush Friday

As of this Friday, and every Friday here after - we're all about the LADIES! Oh yeah, we're taking a little time to chat about the woman that we admire and aspire to. Yes it doesn't have ANYTHING to do with homes or interiors but who lives in a house? Yup you got it - women. And also we're kind of fab and that should be celebrated and that's all the reason we need.

And so...for our first inaugural Femme Crush, I give you....DRUM ROLL PLEASE...

Natalie Massenet.

Yes she of the high cheekbones, eternally glossy hair and bulging business brain! I adore Ms Massenet - before I had even heard of Net a Porter, I remember reading about her. It was an article in Vogue I think and it talked about how she left work as a fashion journalist and how she just knew that selling luxury fashion online was a good idea, which back then seemed fairly ludicrous but she was so sure and was determined to stick to her guns and see her idea through HER way despite much poo-pooing from those 'in the know' (men obvs). Well obviously she went her own way and in doing so built her idea into an international business worth hundreds of million... while also raising a family. Not too shabby. Not too shabby at all!

WHY A&TB LOVES NAT:

• UNWAVERING DETERMINATION

• SELF BELIEF

• VISION

• FASHION & BUSINESS ACUMEN

• WE'VE MENTIONED HER CHEEKBONES RIGHT?

For a look at more women we adore - jump to our Pinterest board here OR wait until next Friday! And if you'd like to tell us who you are crushing on and why, we love to hear from you in the comments below. Let's spread the love on FEMME CRUSH FRIDAY!
