André moves from street to gallery…

February 7th, 2010 · No Comments · Art, Exhibitions, France, Paris, Shopping, Stores

I’m becoming more and more convinced that it’s not Sharkozy who runs Paris, but in fact André.  No party is complete without him and you’d find it pretty hard not to encounter Monsieur A, his dandyish graffiti character, around town.
André made his name as a world-renowned graffiti artist with his Love Graffiti and has redefined nightlife [...]

Sketch pop-up cafe at Royal Academy of Arts

January 24th, 2010 · No Comments · Afternoon tea, Art, Cafes, Events, London, Restaurants

After my tremendous art book bargain hunt at Taschen and Phaidon in Chelsea, all the excitement left me starving and a simple sandwich in a plain old caff just wouldn’t cut it.  I just wanted to sit down and revel in the glory of the beautiful new books in an equally gorgeous setting, so Steven [...]

Chérie guide to: Newcastle

January 15th, 2010 · No Comments · Afternoon tea, Art, Bars, Cafes, Hotels, Hotels - Budget, Hotels - Design, Hotels - Luxury, Newcastle, Restaurants, Shopping, Stores

So, for the festive period, I escaped the craziness of London and headed back to my family home in Newcastle, well, Northumberland to be precise. I grew up here and went to school just outside the city centre in the leafy suburb, Gosforth and if there was a place to be, I knew about it!

Art fairs can be great barometers for finding the new trends in collecting and while I thought painting was still top of the agenda, the London Art Fair are looking towards the future of photography.

Left Bank Book Boutique: Assouline

December 23rd, 2009 · No Comments · Art, France, Paris, Shopping, Stores

While Taschen’s Left Bank store is sleek and ordered, with books uniformly displayed, Assouline has a thrown together, boudoir atmosphere, with scented candles and stationery.
I love [...]

The Palais de Tokyo has always been missed off my Paris itinerary, so this time we got there straight after breakfast to check out the new exhibition, Chasing Napoleon.
The museum is housed in the original Palais de Tokyo, built in 1937,  and opened in 2002 as a vast, concrete and marble space dedicated to French and [...]
