Küsnacht is one of my favourite places to go for a walk with Tommy. You have access to a great lake-side playground and a town full of beautiful architecture and an array of independent shops. On one of my recent walks, I passed a striking wooden building called The Freihof. After a quick Google, I […]

Rachel Jackson London – I want it all!
I’ve fallen in love with Rachel Jackson’s jewellery. Simple as! Along with her to die for pieces, I really connect with Rachel’s can-do attitude and this mantra that she lives by from her website… ‘She believed she could so she did’ Rachel left a career in the music industry behind and started designing jewellery at […]

I love getting out of the tube at Liverpool Street Station and having to weave my way through throngs of people to get to the escalators. It can be quite a gauntlet to run but trust me, once you get above ground it’s so worth it! One of the best ways to see this area […]

This shop is literally a delight. It’s a bit like stepping into a genie’s cave to be faced with an array of twinkling jewels and trinkets, not to mention a high-end selection of beauty products, clothing, jewellery and unique gifts.

This plumping lip balm has come just in the nick of time after a week spent in a combination of air con, humidity and snatched minutes in the sun. My skin and lips have been a bit neglected to say the least! The thick luxurious balm with stem cells, 3D filling spheres and rose wax […]
