I first met the team behind SORU when we bought a stroller for our son Tommy back in winter 2023. It was a few weeks before his due date and it was such an exciting milestone. Walking out of the store … [Read More...] about SORU: a business built on family passion

Style never goes out of fashion
I was on my way to Ropewalk Market in Bermondsey when I was stopped in my tracks by the gorgeous dresses inside Susie Stone’s British bespoke womenswear. I was with my Mom, a fellow style magpie and we’re always on the lookout for new labels and something a bit different. We couldn’t resist a look […]
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears
I was a lucky enough to spend a warm summer’s evening watching Julius Caesar in a packed Globe Theatre on South Bank. It’s one of the best experiences I’ve had. I’ve always loved Shakespeare but at times it can be hard to follow the language and I remember trying to learn off quotes from Hamlet […]
PHATbreads
I love that the owner of PHATbreads bought her oven on Ebay! Now that’s taking impulse online shopping to a whole other level. It just goes to show what happens when entrepreneurial spirit meets the click of a mouse! The gold mosaic tiles and clean white finish give the oven an updated funky twist. The […]
Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to the dump we go
I had a slightly unusual Sunday, in that I spent a portion of it in a hot, very unpleasant smelling rubbish dump in the shadow of Battersea Power Station. What on earth was I doing there you ask? Well, we had let our garden turn into what can only be described as a bit of […]
The Arch Gallery
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 […]
Mars, Yorkie, nah think I’ll have a t-shirt
Dover Street Market I bow down to you. A beautiful shop as it is and then I find a vending machine of t-shirts. Brilliant.
I heart the Design Musuem
Wow, what a great place to lose a few hours. This space is somewhere I can see myself coming back to again and again and I know that I’m going to leave having learned something new or looked at something in a different way. It also has a brilliant selection of fashion books and quirky […]
The real deal
Tea and crumpets, Yorkshire puddings, Cumbrian sausages, roasties, strawberries and cream-the UK has some things down food wise! Now, while I do hold all of the above close to my heart, none of them get near to my fondness for a good ol’ tasty English pie! In my book, pie and mash sit on the […]
Kitty Valentine
I’ve been drawn to artist Kitty Valentine, a.k.a. foxglovepearly’s work every time that I’ve visited Brick Lane market. With a stall in the markets for more than four years, Kitty’s work has made an indelible mark. I’m a magnet to ram heads, bone, texture and the dark sides of natural form in fashion and art. […]
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 […]
