I stopped for a much needed coffee near Bethnal Green tube yesterday and along with a cracking double shot americano, I came away having found a brilliant versatile venue called the Arch Gallery. It adapts to suit any event or exhibition and more importantly, it has the flexibility for you to make it your own. The […]

Don’t miss Lavish Habit
This cafe is one of Balham’s secret gems. I love stopping by for coffee, cake and a browse at the brilliant vintage bargains and quirky homewares. I bought a jewellery box in Ropewalk Market yesterday and this is the only reason that I didn’t walk out the door with the gorgeous musical one left to […]
Kiss winter hair goodbye
Buds peeping through flower beds, bunches of canary yellow daffs in windows and a bright blue sky this morning, Spring is most definitely in the air. It seems only right that my hair gets a refreshing cleanse too and the Australian brand, Aesop has a range of lovely products to suit my happy mood. I […]

Off the wall cool
Walk through the Italian quarter in Dublin, take a right on Strand Street and you’re steps away from one of the funkiest cafés that I’ve been to in a long while..and I love cafés! Foam Cafe & Gallery left me a bit speechless I loved the décor that much! It’s crazy – in a good […]
If the shoe fits
There was once a shoemaker, who worked very hard and was very honest: but still he could not earn enough to live upon; and at last all he had in the world was gone, save just leather enough to make one pair of shoes. …As soon as it was midnight, there came in two little […]
The heart of darkness
I came across this exhibition by chance. I hadn’t thought much about the Congo since studying its complex and violent history during my Masters in International Security and Conflict Studies in DCU. It made me a bit sad to think how such atrocities from our recent past go almost unnoticed unless we educate or stumble […]
All aboard..
London St. Pancras easily tops my list of favourite train stations in London. I never took the time to look at it before. I was usually flying through in a rush to get somewhere, but since starting my course at CSM at Granary Square, I’ve had lots of trips back and forth to take in […]
Make sure you eat your carrots!
The Barbican Centre is a must do. Conor, my old flatmate had spent an afternoon there and his rave reviews made me plan a trip ASAP. I had a quick scan in the website and within minutes saw an interesting exhibition called United Visual Artists: Momentum. It’s in the Curve, a 90-metre promenade and one […]
Oh what a view
I thought I would share a shot that I took while enjoying one of my favourite pastimes in London — chilled out, happy wandering. The French word describes it perfectly, fláneur…to saunter around observing society, an idler, a loafer. I’m a Dubliner through and through but when you don’t have the Ha’penny Bridge handy, this view towards […]
