Christmas Greetings!

Hope you’re all settling in to a cosy Christmas, I’m carefully embedded on the sofa and along with half of Twitter currently dying with my parents’ liberal use of central heating. Tomorrow I will be I mainlining the O’Gradys and making stuffed onions to have with Walter our turkey (that’s seriously his name).

Stuck for music? [...]

It’s starting to look a lot like Christmas

Christmas is here! I’ve watched the Simpsons Christmas special, thought about buying a bottle of O’Gradys for pre-lunch booze consumption and I’m wearing Christmas socks RIGHT NOW. I fucking love Christmas, so I’ve compiled a list of fun things going on in the ol Smoke to get you feeling festive.

To get you in the right [...]

Lanvin Christmas Tree at Claridge’s

Lanvin decorated a big ‘sapin’ at Claridge’s and they’ve made a wee video so we can all take a look at the Christmas tree everyone’s been talking about. Out come the blue boxes, filled with multicoloured baubles and mini Albers for a perfectly OTT tree. I wonder how many merry revellers have been tempted to [...]

Scandi Sunday Sundries

Late Sunday Sundries with a Scandinavian flavour as I went to the Christmas Market at the Finnish Church in Rotherhithe and stumbled on another Christmas Market at the Norwegian church a few steps away. I say Scandinavian but I actually mean Nordic as Finland isn’t strictly speaking part of Scandinavia. Just a bit of weekend [...]

Sunday Sundries

This blog is becoming rather food-heavy at the moment, which is no bad thing but I do have a stack of fashion posts lined up for this week to even things out a little. Caphe House on Bermondsey Street is a great find, fantastic quality Vietnamese food for a more than decent price. I had [...]

Guy Fawkes Sunday Sundries

Hope you all got to see some kind of fireworks where you were this weekend, apparently Brockwell Park fireworks came complete with a soundtrack which included ‘Earth Song’, amazing. I managed to find the best way to cram in a few Bonfire Night sausages without bursting, just put all your toppings and sauces in the [...]

Dreamy Devon

I’m definitely gearing up to a Mexico/NY set of of posts, but in the meantime here’s a quick set of pics from a friend’s birthday weekend in the country. The Devon coast is unreal, beautiful hills that give way to endless sea. Totally in love.

Back in a New York minute

I’m currently relaxing and enjoying IRL New York life which is why posts are a little thin on the ground right now, I’ll be back in two weeks, tanned and from the way I’m eating about two stone heavier! In the meantime you can still get some mini updates on my Facebook page. See yall [...]

London Fashion Week Sunday Sundries

Slightly late but special London Fashion Week sundries for you, been buzzing around like mad for LFW and my upcoming New York – Mexico LOL HOL (laughter holiday, duh). I always dread LFW and then once I’m there I really enjoy it. It’s great to IRL catch up with the lovely bloggers who I usually only see on the internet.

Black XS Paris

My second installment from Paris, Paco Rabanne sent me over the channel to celebrate their Black XS perfume and teach me how to be a rockstar. We stayed in the lovely Mama Shelter hotel which you can see here. We were taken to a rocking venue La Maroquinerie where we were treated to the slightly unsettling experience of being a rockstar, complete with paps shouting your name. Gwynnie I feel your pain, call me.
Once inside the rock star treatment continued with fun activities like crowdsurfing, guitar smashing and tatts, obvs. Check out Be A Rockstar to get a taste of the experience and scroll down to see more pics from the night.
