Along with great shopping, including my beloved Anthropologie and one of the best Zara Home stores in the city, Kings Road Chelsea is also home to the Saatchi Gallery. If you have a spare half hour in between some retail therapy, stop by the gorgeous museum and come out having soaked up some beautiful art. […]
Keeping light
I never thought I’d say this but I’ve become a running convert. I even miss it if I don’t get out now a few evenings during the week. My friends and family will tell you that myself and the world of running has had somewhat of a patchy past! I was a member of a […]
Lynton and Lynmouth
The twin towns of Lynton & Lynmouth on the North Devon coast are a must see! My brother-in-law is a Devonian native so any recommendations from him on quirky or interesting places to visit are always a sure bet. These towns are beyond picturesque and the Victorians and even nick-named the area along this coast […]
Antonia Mariconda’s workshop – How to be your own PR
I always leave Antonia Mariconda’s events with renewed enthusiasm for writing and the exciting world of aesthetics and beauty. There’s something so powerful about listening to a person who communicates with passion and conviction. I found Antonia’s latest workshop How to be your own PR particularly useful as it focused on brand building and the […]
Draughts Board Game Cafe
Draught’s is such a great idea for a restaurant, cafe and the second you walk through the door memories of epic Scrabble games or arguments over where you can legitimately put a Monopoly hotel come flooding back!! Being from Ireland and seeing that it’s rained a lot during childhood – well it means that most […]
Max’s Sandwich Shop
Max’s Sandwich Shop on Stroud Green in Finsbury Park is spot on the money – mouthwatering sambos, booze, great coffee and an even better atmosphere. We stopped by for a Saturday brunch and wow, am I glad we did. One of the best things about Max’s, is Max Halley himself. He bounds around his café with […]
A jewel of Balham
I lived in Balham, South London for over 18-months and hadn’t realised that the super talented award-winning designer Sam Ubhi had a wonderful shop just off the high street. Shame on me I know! Well now that I know it’s there, I want to share it with you so you don’t make the same mistake […]
‘No risk , no fun. It’s in my blood’
Within seconds of speaking to Julianne Ponan, you can see that she’s not your average 25 year old. As CEO and Director of Creative Nature, a fast growing superfood company, she’s managed to turn a business that was in serious financial trouble, into one of the fastest specialist health food brands. What does she think of […]
Neat as a pin, but niicer
I love meeting people with entrepreneurial spirit and who take risks to follow a dream. That’s why chatting to Clare Johnston , the founder of piin was such a treat! This lady embarked on a six-month sabbatical from work to focus her energy on turning an innovative idea into a real life product. Getting to the […]
Pretty as a postcard
An Easter break to Switzerland needs to make an appearance on your bucket list. I didn’t know much about this small landlocked country before I visited and if someone had asked my general impressions, I would have mentioned a deep appreciation of Lint bunnies and Swiss chocolate, coveting beautifully designed watches and jewellery, a vague […]
