Something in the air..

The winds of change are a blowin’….
Anna and I have been thinking hard and we’ve made the decision to split MasonBentley into our distinctive fortes. I’ll carry on the Blog which will subtly change to Maison Bentley Style, whilst Anna will continue with her label under the name ‘Anna Mason’ and when we need to support each other, we will…think of us as the wrinklier versions of Rosie Assoulin and Leandra Medine…
This does mean there will be changes to the Blog – I’m hoping these won’t take long or be too complicated but the upheaval does mean the perfect excuse for another Blog Party to celebrate a re-launch. Watch this space for more info.
We’ll also be using this time to write a letter to ourselves for the future at FutureMe.org – you are always your best mentor and champion and sometimes, just sometimes we need that extra something to grow bigger and better wings..write yourself a letter now, saying where you want to be in a years time…and see if it comes true..
Laters, Kate x
Maison Bentley Style

Maison Bentley Style is such a chic name ! I believe that change is scary at first, and then you look back and think “wow, thank God it happened” (but I know that it takes time …). Thanks for the lovely words (PS : don’t worry, I manage to stay away from dust, and disinfecting wipes are my best friends !) and keep on the great and inspiring work under a new banner ! Can’t wait to partyyyyyyyyyyy ! XXXXX
Good luck to you both! I love your blog and look forward to following it in its new incarnation. XXX
Good luck folks, we will continue to watch!

They’re multiplying!! OMG! I love you guys and if there are two or three or ten blogs I will follow them all! xoxox
If wordpress had a “like” button, I’d “like” this comment! ….instead I’ll hijack it to wish Anna and Kate all the best 🙂 (sorry Gabriela)
No sorries! I’m glad you want to click “like” on my comment! 🙂
humbled..thanks guys xxx
Wow, can’t say I’m not surprised but I’m so very glad that you are taking a direction that works for you both. You have always been the ‘go to first’ and favorite blog! Maybe we can expect to see some more of your stunning photography? Pithy, witty discourse on fashion modes and trends? Designs and drawings? I am very happy (interested) to follow along in your wake, cheering! Best of love to you and Anna.
Wondering if there’s a chance of you creating that dishy bum bag of a few weeks back? We call them fanny packs over here and, say what you will, they are nice when you don’t want bags slipping and flopping around. May we see more bag designs? Please?
Can I hug you now?! It’s funny, I had no idea what blogging really was till I started doing it..now I realise that it’s receptacle of my mind..it’s all those magpie bits of info I’ve stored over the years now have an authentic outlet..so really I dread to think what is now going to pour out..except to say, I love it xxxxx
Can’t wait to see the next incarnation!
Thank you luv..what do they say ‘Change is as good as a something?! It does feel strange to have utter freedom, but it also means I will have more time so seriously thinking about signing up for Art classes after Christmas..something I have always wanted to do xxx
Good luck with the changes (which, no doubt, are well on their way due to my tardy reading!). Bx
