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
Christmas is coming….
This is one of my favourite times of year. As November quickly turns into December, my mind begins to wander to Christmas time in Dublin. Here are some of the things that I’m looking forward to most. Tight hugs at Dublin Airport arrival hall – that amazing feeling of being home. Flower sellers on Grafton […]
The Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize
If you have a spare hour over the coming weeks, go along to the The Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize at the National Portrait Gallery. It’s a lovely mixture of traditional and contemporary takes on the photographic portrait and it’s a real mixed bag of styles and subjects. You’ll even see a few familiar faces like Benedict […]
Art around every corner
Camden Town is a visual feast for art, design and innovation. The street art in particular is constantly evolving around this bustling borough. The most important thing to remember is that you don’t need to plan a route or a particular time to go, there’s always something great to see here. Here are some of […]
Long live the chickpea!
If like me you love hummus, head straight for Hummus Bros on Wardour Street in Soho. The restaurant pays homage to this humble legume and the food is reasonable, quick and really delicious! Opened in 2005, this restaurant has been producing home-made quality produce and meals effortlessly and that’s why it’s one of the busiest spots […]
Mademoiselle Privé: the art of the selfie
I am like a caricature of myself. Like a mask. For me, the carnival of Venice lasts all year”. Karl Lagarfeld Chanel’s Mademoiselle Privé exhibition at London’s Saatchi Gallery was a visual feast. Yes, I mean the exhibition but I also mean the spectacle and crowds that were literally thronging the entrance. With free entry […]
Be the best you can be
I love magazines and how much time, effort and planning goes into every edition of a publication. Staff writers, editors, designers, stylists and sub-editors all pull together to produce publications that push boundaries and create something that will captivate and engage readers. This is why I jumped at the chance to speak to Rosie Mullender, Content Director at […]
Exuviance Gentle Cleansing Creme
I love make-up but the downside is the amount of cleansers and make-up removers that you spend money on that just don’t do the job properly. You can be left with irritated skin or with a product that isn’t effective enough to remove strong mascara or eye-liner. Hello evening panda eyes! While the autumn is […]
Be slap happy!
How many years have you been putting make-up on your face? Ten, fifteen, twenty…? How many bad habits have you picked up without even realising? You don’t even want to think about it right? I’m really interested in skincare and beauty and I’m guilty of impulse purchases and also guilty of cutting corners in my make-up routine when […]
Top trunks
Next time you think about adding some home wares or furniture to your flat, my top tip is instead of making a mad-dash to Ikea (although I will never hear a bad word said about this affordable home ware wonderland), look closer to home. London is literally bursting at the seams with affordable, good quality […]
Put pencil to paper
If you have a few hours free over a weekend, I highly recommend a life drawing class! We had booked it as a birthday surprise for one my oldest friends and we had such fun. It was so nice to have time to sit and spend time creating something from nothing! The life models were […]
