Hearing about Sophie’s Steakhouse, I was expecting a romantic down town New York grill restaurant and the cool decor didn’t disappoint, with cool exposed brickwork, clusters of tiny low lamps and banquettes.

Lime Crime takes over the UK
April 15th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Beauty
Earlier this month, I bought my first sensible lipstick, the new Rouge Coco Chanel lipstick in Mademoiselle (worn by Vanessa Paradis in the campaign), a perfect day to night, complimentary shade that conditions lips for up to 10 hours and gives my skin a fresh Spring glow. However, my more frivolous side prevailed when I [...]

From the catwalk to the lobby…
March 19th, 2010 · No Comments · Edinburgh, Hotels - Design, Hotels - Luxury, Milan, News, Paris
Fashion hotels are spreading like wild fire and any designer worth their salt has translated their style DNA into interiors and furnishing. It seems like a no brainer that fashion designers should try their hand at designing hotels. They have commercially proved their innate sense of style and obsessive eye for detail and are already [...]

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 [...]

Anthropologie arrives in London
November 2nd, 2009 · 2 Comments · Accessories, Designers, Fashion, London, News, Shopping, Stores
So, I finally got to see the new Anthropologie store on Regent Street and in just a short visit, I managed to compile a pretty extensive Christmas wish list.

Pop in to Soho's new pop-up
August 27th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Cafes, London, News
The pop-up eating and drinking establishment is as ubiquitous as London’s other current obsession, the flash mob (is there anything they won’t ‘pay homage’ to in Liverpool St station with a camera rolling?), but are any of them worth the space they inhabit? Bistrotheque founders Pablo Flack and David Waddington have been hosting arty guerilla [...]
