One of my favourite things about London is the history that is obvious on nearly every street. Whether its the remnants of an old sign painted on a building that has long since changed hands, or a weathered old sign such as this one in Southwark…

Which reminded me of a photo a friend of mine [...]

And so it blooming well should be. Women are fabulous. Tall ones, short ones, big ones, small ones, funny ones, quiet ones, smart ones and well…not so smart ones. We’re all bloody marvellous and I am loving the fact that today we are being celebrated all over the world!
I think we should go out of [...]

I’ve just come across French Vogue’s 2008 cover shoot with girl crush #1, Miss Moss.
There’s no doubt about it, Kate looks amazing. I don’t even like smoking, but she manages to make it sexy. It may not be new, but it’s a fine example of a slick Rock n’ Roll editorial, shot by Inez van Lamsweerde & [...]

It’s been a while since I officially went for after-work drinks of my own and it’s definitely one of the things I miss most about the whole 9-5 thing.
Luckily for me though, I have Giles, who most definitely does still do the office work thing, and who shares my love for after work cocktails. So [...]

I love going out in London. Like, really love it. I’ve been doing it for 15 years and in all honesty, I’m not likely to stop any-time soon.

I’m always up for saving the world.
It’s a challenge I’d take on single handedly, if it was slightly more practical. And when I’m fit & well again, I may just give it a go. But until then, I’m just going to have to rely on lovely people like you to help me.
Now don’t worry, I’m [...]

I was recently lucky enough to be invited to the fabulous Pan Asian restaurant Chino Latino, based at the Park Plaza Riverbank, for afternoon tea with a little bit of a twist.
Now I’m a huge fan of afternoon tea. Recent favourites have included The Grove in Hertfordshire, and The G in Galway. So, armed with high [...]

I’ve already told you how much I rate Marvel, Chelsea’s coolest bar.
They’ve now added to the excellence, as Rich Hendry, the highly acclaimed artist, has chosen the DJ owned bar to exhibit his latest works. Rich has been nominated for several International Photography Awards and was part of the amazing Mutate Britain. His work ranges [...]

Underwear as outerwear is back with a bang this Spring…
Fashion houses such as Dolce & Gabbana and Bottega Veneta showed this look on their catwalks for S/S2010 and right now the trend is everywhere, from yesterdays edition of This Morning to Lady (crazy) Gaga.
If you want to rock this look, you don’t need to go [...]
