Owning a 37 piece, carefully curated wardrobe is the dream right? The reality is a little further from the truth for most of us. That’s why it was so refreshing to listen to Lauren Jobling, founder of Wardrobe Doctor remind us that less is more when it comes to our wardrobe. I’ll try and remember that […]
Spring is coming
Sunrise was at 7:43 am this morning. What a welcome relief to climb out of bed and see a little bit of brightness. I love this time of year. It makes me look forward to brighter, warmer days and that winter, even though beautiful in its own way, is almost over. Spotting brand new shoots […]
Wild
I haven’t done a review of a movie in a while, but after watching Wild, I had to jot down a few words. Based on a true story, we follow Cheryl Strayed, played by the brilliant Reese Witherspoon, as she embarks on a lone 1,100 mile hike along America’s Pacific Crest Trail. If you’re thinking […]
Introducing BLOOM of the BLOCK
Leyla Hussein, owner of BLOOM of the BLOCK has literally just turned over a new leaf in life and launched her own florist and styling business. I caught up with this inspirational talent to pick her brains about being her own boss and to hear more about her striking graphic approach to styling plants and […]
Duck & Waffle
Serving from sunrise to sunset and 40 floors up, Duck & Waffle in the Heron Tower is an incredible dining experience. We ended up here after a brilliant night out at Koko in Camden, another iconic London night spot that needs a post entirely to itself. The crazy thing about Duck & Waffle is that no matter […]
Discovering Old Street
One of my favourite tube stations to walk out of is easily Old Street. It’s a place that I never tire of visiting. It just sums up London perfectly. With its many confusing roundabout exits, crowds of people and relentless traffic, there’s a frisson of energy on every corner. If you’re a fan of people-watching, this […]
Dad
My first memory is of you. The early morning light on a French campsite when you brought me for a walk. I remember the feel of my towelling cream and yellow little t-shirt and watching water-spiders skate across the top of the pond. I remember balancing on your feet and laughing, looking at your face […]
Isadoreintimates – a second skin of empowerment
A business founded on innovation and taking risks has instant appeal. I spoke to Isadore Tozer to find out how creating hand-made lingerie on her Grandma’s sewing machine has grown into a thriving online venture. It’s often said that it is the intangible that creates confidence in a person – a certain air of poise […]
To Mom…
For the unwavering support, laughs, fun and happiness. For always saying to live a life without regrets. For making us feel like we can do anything. For adding the little blocks along the way to help us make our dreams a reality. For your joy. For creating a limitless world. For being you. For everything. […]
The Photographers’ Gallery
A stones throw from Oxford Street, The Photographers’ Gallery is the ideal place to spend some down time. I paid £4 for a day pass and whizzed around three great exhibitions. They covered everything from the dull pain of grief in a series of images taken by Sophie Calle, to life in 1950s Britain by […]
