The quest for the perfect Sunday Lunch…

November 30th, 2009 · No Comments · London, Restaurants

After reading Time Out’s recent rehashed guide to the London’s best Sunday Lunches, I was dismayed to read that the average asking price at the places their recommended was around £50-£60 for two dinners, drinks and service.  It seems pretty steep to when you can get two-course meals at restaurants like Asia de Cuba, Theo Randall [...]

Erdem comes to the V&A!

November 26th, 2009 · 5 Comments · Designers, Events, Fashion, London, News, Shopping

Erdem seems to be etched onto my subconscious at the moment and I reckon it’s a sign from fashion gods to go forth and take my love of floral dresses to the next level. I love the fashion warrior look, with the studs, spikes, chains and whatnot, but I always seem to drift back into [...]

Marni and Brigitte go super sweet

November 24th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Afternoon tea, Designers, London, Paris

Desserts and cakes are my major downfall and I would happily munch on a plate of steamed vegetables so I could finish with a small but perfectly formed piece of sugary goodness.  Well, ’tis the season to be jolly and what not, and I’ve spotted some incredible, artisan treats that look as amazing as they [...]

I’ve been searching for the perfect solution to my skin breakouts and blemishes and since there are so many skin systems out there with weird chemicals and acids, I decided to go down the natural route with Dr Hauschka’s Daily Face Care Kit for Oily Skin. My skin complaints date from when I moved to [...]

Swarovski Crystallized SS10 collections

November 18th, 2009 · No Comments · Accessories, London, Shopping, Stores

There’s only one thing I love more than beautiful jewellery, and that’s being able to get creative and make up my own creations.  So, I went to the Swarovski Crystallized press day to check out which new pieces I’d be lusting after when the sun comes out again. The Azzaro collection, designed by Vanessa Seward, [...]

Fam Love Gays…and sailorgirls!

November 18th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Accessories, Fashion, London

I’ve already grown tired of dressing appropriately for the cold weather, although I’ve still been trotting round in a tweed blazer rather than a full-on winter coat, so taking a peak at Fam Irvoll’s SS10 collection has lifted my fashion spirits (which took a dent after seeing Heidi Montag wearing those sequinned Miu Miu socks [...]

From the catwalk to Hackney…

November 17th, 2009 · No Comments · Accessories, Fashion, London, Shopping, Stores

Inspired by Burberry’s new ‘social networking site’, Art of the Trench, I met up with my Italian friend Cristina for breakfast and a long-overdue trip to the Burberry Factory Outlet at Hackney Central (ah, the luxury of Bond Street shopping just five minutes away). Having heard rumours on the net about Burberry disciples hunting out [...]

Unlike the TV programme, MasterChef Live is aimed at chefs and foodies of all abilities and there are a number of workshops, demonstrations and top [...]

Kisses from Paris…

November 12th, 2009 · 2 Comments · France, Paris, Videos

How would you describe a city like Paris? Do you automatically think of a Robert Doisneau image of two lover kissing in front of the Hotel de Ville or is the Eiffel Tower lit up at night inscribed in your memory?  Paris is undoubtedly magical, but the beyond the confines of the tourist trails is one of [...]

Jarvis makes an exhibition of himself…again!

November 12th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Art, Concerts, Events, Exhibitions, London, Music

Jarvis Cocker took over Shoreditch’s Village Underground for three days of workshops, jamming, cake eating and informal performances. Taking lead from his ‘happening’  at Galerie Chappe in Paris earlier this year, Jarvis invited everyone to bring their own instruments and take part in yoga, burlesque and Jivamukti yoga sessions, all taught by instructors, with Jarvis [...]
