Salvation in Noodles
Salvation in Noodles on Blackstock Road in Finsbury Park is a great choice for a delicious and affordable meal. I opted for the hot noodle salad called Bun Bo La Lot. I’m so glad I did as it was bursting with flavour. Succulent beef is wrapped in betel leaf and comes with a punch of […]
Just a harmless practical joke?
This road sign that appeared on Tuesday in a predominantly Jewish area of London, Stamford Hill is racism at its worst. It apparently warns people in the area to ‘beware of Jews’. The sign shows the silhouette of an Orthodox Jewish man wearing a Fedora hat. In this pointed attempt to bring unease and anti-Semitic […]
Ready, set…bake!
So my post is incredibly short tonight as I’m baking a cake for a ‘Bake Off’ event in work tomorrow and in true ‘Faulty Towers’ comedy-esque timing, the light bulb is gone in the kitchen and I can’t seem to find a weighing scales to measure anything properly!

All that glitters
My inner magpie came out at the V&A over the weekend as I walked past shiny, glittery, jewels that would take your breath away. I also loved this brilliant pair of shoes.

I picked up a map from reception and then noticed an event happening on Careers in Fashion and the arts. I couldn’t […]
Say yes to every opportunity
There isn’t anything worth doing that doesn’t make you feel physically sick. Get out of your comfort zone and get used to it. – Katherine Ormerod I’m lucky enough in my job to get to meet inspiring people and today was definitely a highlight. I got to spend time with Katherine and hear some amazing […]
Great Vegan Food from a London Bus!
I’m not a vegan or even a vegetarian for that matter but if you’re in the Bethnal Green area of London, I know a great place for vegan food. Just Fab is such a nice spot and I loved the idea that the kitchen is in the bottom half of a Double Decker bus. It’s […]
Hang up those skinnies
Blasting, rips or let down hems – denim for 2017 is all about deconstruction, distressing and embracing texture. Vetements, a Parisian fashion label is most definitely having a moment with influencing our denim choice this year with their now eponymous reworked jeans. The trend below is one that has me hot-footing it to the shops and browsing […]
