Get out of your comfort zone and get used to it. – Katherine Ormerod I’m lucky enough in my job to get to meet inspiring people and today was definitely a highlight.

The power of nature
….Biophilia Do you know what this word means? I didn’t until I came across it in a book called The Geography of Bliss by David Weiner. This brilliant book is about the 10 happiest nations in the world and the secrets to their joy. It turns out that one of the the major factors to […]
Hold the phone…
I saw this poster on the tube today for Diana – her fashion story at Kensington Palace and I literally cannot wait to see visit. Princess Diana was a true fashion icon and an inspirational woman. My Mom loved Princess Diana and I grew up leafing through pages of Hello Magazine and it’s one of […]
One room at the Banksy hotel please
The Walled Off hotel is a place that I would stay in an instant. Just opened in Bethlehem, it overlooks the barrier separating Palestinian Territories from Israel. It’s a hotel that some people think has the worst view in the world. I’ve said it in many of my posts, but street art is one of […]
Art Fix at Tate Britain

Old friends

Myconceptstore and street art: Reykjavík
I did a course in Central Saint Martins, UAL called Cool Hunting and it taught us about the power of observation and questioning in order to learn and grow. Our lecturer always told us to look up, look down and all around us as we explored London on foot. As the weeks went by, I […]
Hampton Court Palace
I love nothing more than a bit of culture-vulturing and it must run in the family because even before my Mom and Dad arrive for a visit to London, we have about 10 things on our hit-list! They visited in late January and we spent a fantastic afternoon exploring. The glimpse of Hampton Court Palace […]
